For Third-party Logistics And Distribution Management Information System

Along with the economic globalization, China's economy has been developing rapidly. After joining in the WTO, the domestic enterprises were Encountered in the unprecedented and the increasingly fierce competition in the market. In order to concentrate on their own core business, many manufacturing enterprises have given all their logistics operations to the third party logistics enterprises. Therefore, as the "third profit source", logistics has attracted most attention of the industry at home and abroad. Some of the large groups enterprises, commercial enterprises have established distribution centers. A large part of the larger enterprises who had been operating the transportation and storage business have begun to transform towards the third-party logistics. TPL has risen rapidly in Domestic, and has gradually become a new point of economic growth. However, a fact that should not be overlooked is that the logistics industry in China started late, the starting point is low, the facilities is outdate, and the management level is low, enterprise's competitiveness on the market is still relatively weak.Delivery is an important part of the third party logistics, and can guarantee the smooth flow of goods, and is the direct means which the user needs to achieve. The level of distribution directly has determined entire service level of logistics and the economic efficiency of enterprises. With the rapid development of information technology and its wide application in China, the requer of distribution's modernization and informationzation has been listed on the agenda. It has become the problems need urgently to solve in distribution of the third-party logistics How to achive distribution informationzation using information technology, how to realize high standard of service, high delivery efficiency and low distribution costs.This paper first has introduced the basic concept, the development and the characteristics of the logistics, discusses the theory of the logistics management information systems and its building objectives; directed at the development and application of distribution management information system of TPL, the disertation has described the concept of the distribution, the type of the distribution, the functional elements of the distribution, the models of the distribution and its values in logistics, and has focused on distribution model of the third party logistics, the value of the third party distribution, and key technology and main character of the system. Based on a large number of literature data, the dissertation has analyzed overall objectives, transaction flow, and data flow of the Distribution Management Information System of the third party logistics. According to the modern logistics distribution management theory, combined with modern information technology, the dissertation has done the system design of the distribution management information system in third-party logistics, has built its functional structure model. On this basis, the concept design, the logic design and the physical design of distribution management information systems in the third party logistics has been finished. Applying to the organic combination of life circle approach and organic prototype approach, based on the B/S Structure, in the Microsoft Windows XP operating system and SQL Server database, in the use of Visual Studio .NET 2003 integrated development environment and C# development tools, the dissertation has made develop research to the distribution management information systems third-party logistics, and has achieved systems management, basic information management, a storage management and other key functions of third-party logistics distribution management information system. The paper has provided reference for the further development and application of the third party logistics distribution management information system.
