Abstract
In order for rapid, accurate and low-cost information exchange among supply chain enterprises during logistics business operation, this paper puts forward solution scheme to construct public logistics supply chain information exchange platform. Based on service-oriented framework, the platform adopts heterogeneous data exchange engine and data exchange agent to perform certain services functions such as end-to-end data exchange of heterogeneous information system in supply-chain enterprises, zero-development access, etc. The system test result shows function and performance of this platform can completely satisfy the requirements of logistics supply-chain enterprises information exchange and the system has the perfect openness and scalability.
I. INTRODUCTION
A complete logistics process usually contains order processing, storage, transportation, distribution and customs declaration. The operation involves many supply-chain companies including factory, consignor, consignee, storing company, transportation agent, customs. It has become an essential problem to improve service quality as well as work efficiency of logistics enterprises and reduce logistics cost on how to perform rapid and accurate logistics information exchange and share between various supply-chain enterprises. There are two types of information exchange between logistics supply-chain enterprises. One of them is to adopt traditional methods to transmit information such as telephone, fax, email, etc. Information will be input to information system of various supply-chain enterprises by artificial means.
V. CONCLUSIONS
This paper analyzes the defects of traditional supply chain logistics operation, fully considers modern global supply chain management environment and studies new features as well as operating mode in logistics management and control. Furthermore, starting from sales management in modern enterprises, it establishes a novel enterprise sales management information system under supply chain management mode. Based on service-oriented framework, this platform uses heterogeneous data exchange engine and data exchange agent to realize end-to-end data exchange of heterogeneous information system in supply chain enterprises and zero-development access.
