Today with the rapid development of computer and information technology, companies inevitably have to make the transition from their old way to do logistics management, which relies mostly on humans, to a more computer-centric way, which relies mostly on logistical system software. With such trend, there is an increasing demand for building logistical system software across many different industries. In this thesis, we started from a software engineering perspective and studied the process of how to build logistical system software for a moderate size company. First, we analyze the characteristics of the logistical related activities and tasks. From the result of analysis, we come up with a set of detailed requirements and an abstract representation for those requirements. Then, we proposed a general framework for engineering such software system. Our framework is based on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) software architecture. In this framework, the Model component represents the underlying data in the system; the View component takes care of the display of the data; the Controller component manages the connection between the Model and the View components.As a practically application of our framework, we developed a prototype logistical system for JiDong Concrete Company. Our system uses Python Django and its template language to implement the web server end software and Java scripts plus HTML to implement front-end system viewer. We demonstrate that the proposed MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture and Browser/Sever implementation strategy make the development process very smooth. Our design has guaranteed the safety and integrity of the data. The final system is very portable, easy to maintain and operates efficiently.In the end, we further improve our logistic system to support 3G wireless users by using dynamical web page generation technology. We also discussed on how to further extend our system framework to a multiple-database multiple-server (MDMS) design in order to support the larger company's logistical management needs.Although different companies may have different manufacturing processes and produce different products, the underlying logistic process shares a lot of common activities, such as raw material purchase, warehouse management and customer order management etc. Because our framework provides a general logical system software design that captures most of the common logistic activities, it is applicable for many different companies.
