Third-party Logistics Management System Designed To Achieve

Logistics Management, a new branch of system management, is a new subject that has appeared in the West in the past twenty years. Logistics, as the definition of the Council of Logistics Management, is that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements.Logistics, commodity stream and information stream are regarded as the three pillars of modern economy. With the development of socialized mass production, people have changed their focus of cost from the productive areas to currency areas. The economist Bay Terkara even considers the logistics as "third profit source", and we have also realized the importance of logistics in enterprise management.Third Party Logistic (3PL) called indentured logistic in the West, appears in our country these years. We can consider the 3PL as a logistics form, namely, special enterprise neither consigner nor consignee carries on the enterprise logistics.3PL is different from tradition logistics, because it has some characteristics such as independency, specialization and systematization. It profits from the development of high technology which gives not only challenge but also opportunity. 3PL needs the support of an excellent information stream, because it is hard to reach its original intention without it.Logistic Storage System is also an important part of MIS of 3PL enterprises. This paper designs and implements a practical MIS for 3PL following logistic criterion, and describes a visual representation of storage unit in detail. Using this representation, we expect to find a more efficient way to show the status of the goods in a warehouse. And this paper is based on the project named SHANGHAI E&T INTL-TRANS MIS, which is cooperated by our college and Shanghai E&T Intl-Trans Co, Ltd.
