ERP Mode Based Transportation Management Syetem

TMS(Transportation Management System) is a set of logistics information management system based on the workflow of transportation. Current TMS mostly stay in the service of individual enterprise themselves, handling internal business process and corporate personnel management and related data storage and management, but lack of integrating resources and serving of related enterprise around, business partners and customers. The ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) methodology appeared to provide enterprises with better information platform and management methods based on information management and integration of supply chain. This paper, relying on related projects by studying the application of system model and management methods of ERP to TMS, provide a new model and method for the development of TMS. The main results of this study are as follows:(1) Through the study of ERP system architecture module, an information system model is obtained, which is based on the integration of ERP, the three flow integration, the ability and resource planning, supply chain. The feasibility analysis of application ERP model into TMS is given. Considering the existing status of TMS, the ERP-based Transportation Management System application mode is got.(2) On the basis of ERP-based transportation management system application model, the design of UML object-oriented modeling approach has been used, obtained an ERP-based transportation management system architecture including the main function module and the corresponding set of database configuration.(3) Considering the ERP supply chain management for the overall objective of the logistics system, the model of the stowage of vehicle and cargo in TMS multi-objective optimization is build, while it builds the evaluation model of merits and reputation of the car owners based on the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method, and it gives the numerical example analysis. The operating rules and the basic flow of car cargo stowage model in the transport management systems based on ERP mode is elaborated.(4) By applying the.NET software development technology, Visual Studio development platform, based on Chitianhua Logistics LLC transportation management systems and Anshiji logistics information system development projects, using the MVC pattern-based development approach, it achieves a set of ERP-based transportation management system, and its system practicability get verified.This ERP-based TMS architecture is proposed through the research, and based on ERP systems management thinking, the corresponding stowage of vehicle and cargo multi-objective optimization model is established. It is conducive to resolving the current problems of TMS information sharing and resource integration, and it can also improve the transport management efficiency and stowage efficiency, thus improving the operational efficiency of logistics enterprises.
