The Study On The Application Of Transportation Management System For Y Group

In the past 30 years,China's economic boom has been a miracle in the entire world economic history,especially for group Y.By the end of 2017,Y group(including western fast food,western leisure,Chinese hotpot,Chinese fast food and other catering sub-brands)is managing more than 8,000 restaurants in China,continues to be the largest catering company in China.However,while business keeps rising,with the consumption upgrade and business model reform in the new era of "Internet +" and "new retail",China's catering industry is facing tremendous changes.In order to maintain the existing advantages and expand further into the market,Y group has accelerated new product research,site development,and constantly upgrade service model to face challenges in the industry.Meanwhile,the core competitiveness of supply chain logistics becomes the booster behind the frond-end business.Against this background,how to sort out the pain points of supply chain logistics,especially in transportation management area,and find proper solutions to better meet front-end challenges has become strategic goal of Y group.Through the design and implementation of a complete and intelligent transportation management system,to improve operation efficiency,optimize operation cost as well as performance transparency has become a strategic project.Firstly,this paper briefly introduces the industry challenges for Y group.As per the analysis of Y group logistics development history and the particularity of cold-chain logistics,this paper further reveals the critical issues and concludes that transportation management optimization has become the key point for Y group.Therefore,the implementation of an advanced TMS has become a key task to upgrade logistics service quality.Secondly,from the perspective of resolving pain points of transportation management process,this paper describes the analysis of TMS project objective,business coverage and function modules overview,and completes financial analysis and system implementation roadmap.Then,based on to-be business processes,this paper further describes the design of TMS core function modules and technical key points,vendor capabilities research for TMS platforms,evaluation criteria and final result for vendor selection.Then the paper shows project schedule,management methods,risks and mitigations for this key project.Finally,this paper completes effect analysis of TMS pilot phase,summarizes the benefit from process optimization,management efficiency,service quality improvement,as well as operating costs optimization which brought by this strategic initiative,and analyze future innovation outlook combining with the new IOT technology.It is hoped that the research in this paper can provide some inspiration and reference for similar enterprises which encounter bottlenecks of supply chain logistics,formulating appropriate strategies,and improving the level of enterprise information construction.
