In this final master degree thesis there is presented the design of the new computer aided engineering logistics management software, there is given analysis of it‘s main functions and considerations of this system integration and development in Lithuanian industry. This system is intended to control and provide stable and high qualified cargo transportation by trucks, starting with systematization of orders received by customers and automated calculation and distribution of goods in warehouses till control of drivers, online communication, precise determination of routes and analysis of end-user needs. The main tasks of the logistics management system is reduction of time and costs, increasing of accurate determination of loading places addresses, drivers professionalism ensuring, increased opportunities for communication, availability of necessary documents gathering, maximum control of drivers work and rest regimes, accurate calculation of the quantity and specifications of goods and increasing customer satisfaction rate. The design of this system was influenced by two Lithuanian companies. The first one was JSC „Adampolis“, there in it‘s logistics sector occurred inaccuracies due to human errors and not adequate distribution in warehouses. The second one is JSC„ KM Logistics“, which uses several different programs to control logistics, but still can not ensure appropriate drivers control, the precise movements of goods, accurate routing, the necessary documents gathering in time and can not guarantee the quality of logistics chain management. This logistics management system can be adapted for both different companies for controling logistics, therefore is such way demonstrating its development and adaptation opportunities in other Lithuanian industrial enterprises. The logistics management system consists of several interconnected and integrated systems, such as: database, which records orders received and routes accomplished; self-regenerating GPS system that ensures accurate addresses search and online driver destination determination; sensors and barcode scanners installation, which provides an automated calculation of the quantity and specifications of products and integrated communication system, that enables online communication with drivers and customers. The main indicators, which shows this logistics management system‘s advantages and competitiveness is reduced costs, saved time, ensured the efficiency and productivity and also increased customer satisfaction rate. This new logistics management program could become one of the most important computerized engineering systems in Lithuanian industry, which by ensuring the highest quality of cargo transportation, can provide logistics sector development in Lithuania and ensure competitiveness across all Europe. |
