Since the logistics is an industry with relatively higher energy consumption, the building industry lowcarbon logistics ought to attract wide attentions from the building enterprises. Simulated annealing is an effective intelligent algorithm for optimizing the building materials logistics route. This paper analyzes the similarities between the process of the building materials logistics route o...

Background: Logistics is paramount in the business operations as it ensures transit of goods from one point to the other. Green logistics are measures in the logistics systems that are put in place to minimize the environmental implication of logistics operations while at the same time saving on cost. Thus, green logistics is adopted as it conveys a competitive merit which enhances performance ...

Logistics models in information systems describe activities, organizations, transportation means, goods, and services being involved in logistics processes. The problem with most current such models, however, is a lack of formal semantics which prevents automated data integration across organizational boundaries. In this paper, we take the perspective of supply chain management and employ a wel...

The scale planning of the coal logistics center plays an important role in coal logistics network planning. Based on the coal logistics network planning, this paper analyses the coalmine production capacity, transportation capacity, coal demand and other factors, then brings forward the demand trend coefficient on that basis. Further, the authors construct a scale-planning model for the coal lo...

A logistics chain in the South African sugar industry has been defined as the different agents responsible for growing, hauling and milling sugarcane. Inefficiencies in a logistics chain can be broadly classified into two categories: ! Individual inefficiencies associated with an inappropriate technology and/or the management practices of individual members of a logistics chain. ! Collective in...

Reverse logistics is the management of materials and information from the consumer to the point of origin (manufacturer). Post-sale reverse logistics, namely, a specific area of the entrepreneurial logistics for the management of unused or little-used post-sales products, which, for different reasons, are returned to the direct distribution link chain, is studied. The state-of-the-art reverse l...

In this paper, after analyzing the predicaments that Chinese traditional logistics enterprises face while launching modern logistics services, the theory of reforming Chinese traditional logistics enterprises with Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is put forward. Then the basic implementation principles are discussed, and the steps of BPR are also analyzed for Chinese logistics enterprises. ...

According to the complexity of automobile logistics, we take one company’s automobile logistics as sample to analyze dynamics characteristics of logistic system and to set up system model by applying nonlinear dynamics theory and measure. Also, we can prove that it is applicable to study automobile logistics by this model according to the analysis of the model’s chaotic dynamics characteristics...

The importance of managing logistics outsourcing risk has been realized by both scholars and managers. Thus, after we study the basic flow for CBR method, and analyze the connotation, characteristics and classification of logistics outsourcing risk, we construct a logistics outsourcing risk assessment model by way of Cased-Based Reasoning method to assess logistics outsourcing risk, and then di...
