由於全球市場已進入了經濟成長與競爭力崛起的趨勢,因此第三方物流(3PL)外包供應商已成為全球物流產業至為關鍵重要性。然而,物流產業現存具備者龐大複雜的數據資料,必須採用一個快捷處理的物流渠道,使得需要考慮運用物聯網(IoT),整合供應商管理存貨(VMI)與3PL。在這項研究目的是要達到改善降低存貨,配合限制理論注入新思維,不斷找出瓶頸循環改善,快速反應供應物流業的競爭力。現今,VMI已被廣泛的慣用在物流產業與3PL外包供應商它在物流產業的運用將成為未來的趨勢發展。 本研究以案例式推理手法,作為達成問題解決的技術,探索兩個案利用過去的資料和精實的概念以解決問題,另比較分析三個案例的優點和相異點,在解決案例推理問題上,研究開發一個創新的過程框架可使用IoT平台系統,其目標是創造一個增值系統,促使所有供應商造就一個雙贏的經濟效益,IoT整合電子商務平台和相輔而行的每個企業改進了物流的有效性,方便性在同步IoT平台上增加VMI效率的靈活性,從而也增強了3PL產業的效率,亦能滿足客戶需求增值物流價值,降低成本減少長鞭效應,並確保一個永續發展並具有競爭力的物流。
Due to global economic growth and competitive markets, outsourcing through Third Party Logistics (3PL) has become critical in global logistic industries. The complex logistic industry and the existence of Big Data result in the need to consider the application of Internet of Things (IoT) in integrating Vendor Management Inventory (VMI) and 3PL. In this study, we aim to improve supply chain competitiveness through inventory cost reduction and quick response. Recently, VMI has been widely used in manufacturing industry; its use in logistic industries will become the future trend. We present a research using a Case-Based Reasoning as a problem-solving technique Comparative analysis of the three project examples are done. The plan to apply the IoT platform is analyzed to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the system. An innovative process framework is then developed. This study aims to create a value-added system which will result in a win-win economic benefit for all players in the chain. IoT integrates e-commerce platforms and co-ordinates each enterprise to improve the effectiveness of the supply chain. The convenience of synchronized IoT platform increases the flexibility of VMI efficiency thereby also increase the efficiency of the 3PL industry. It also helps reduce Bullwhip Effects and ensure a sustainable and competative logistics.
