物流信息系統(tǒng)（LIS）被定義為“為決策者收集、挑選、分析、評(píng)估并發(fā)布所需要的、及時(shí)、準(zhǔn)確的信息所用的人員、設(shè)備和程序”。

2.Someofthemorecommonlyimplementedsystemsareusedtosupporttransportationmanagement,warehousingmanagement,andoperationsplanningandscheduling.

有些較為常見(jiàn)的系統(tǒng)用于運(yùn)輸和倉(cāng)儲(chǔ)管理，以及各種業(yè)務(wù)的計(jì)劃和調(diào)度。

3.Withtheanalysisofdata,theycanknowclearlyhowmuchofacertainmaterialtheyneedandestablishalong-termrelationshipwiththeirsuppliers.

通過(guò)數(shù)據(jù)分析，企業(yè)可以清楚掌握物料采購(gòu)數(shù)量，并與供應(yīng)商建立長(zhǎng)期的合作關(guān)系。

4.Thetransportinformationsystemmainlyincludevehicleinformationmanagement,drivermanagement,transportationbusinessregistration,transportplanningarrangements,etc.

交通信息系統(tǒng)主要包括車輛資料管理、駕駛員管理、運(yùn)輸業(yè)務(wù)登記、運(yùn)輸計(jì)劃安排等。

5.Allkeyfiguresrelatingtomaterialmovementsinvolvingcurrentstocksandsupplierconsignmentstocksareupdatedaccordingtoinventorylevels.

所有有關(guān)當(dāng)前庫(kù)存和供應(yīng)商寄售庫(kù)存的信息都隨著庫(kù)存水平不斷更新。

寄售是一種委托代售的貿(mào)易方式，它是指委托人（貨主）先將貨物運(yùn)往寄售地，委托代銷人（受委托人）按照寄售協(xié)議規(guī)定的條件代替貨主進(jìn)行貨物銷售，貨物出售后，再由代銷人向貨主結(jié)算貨款的一種貿(mào)易做法。

6.Qualitymanagementinformationsystemreferstotheanalysisofsuppliers,materialsandcustomers,inordertoensurethequalityinformationofenterprisemanagementcanbedeliveredandrespondedeffectively.

質(zhì)量管理信息系統(tǒng)是指對(duì)供應(yīng)商、物料和客戶進(jìn)行分析，以確保企業(yè)管理的質(zhì)量信息能夠及時(shí)有效地傳遞，并得到快速響應(yīng)。

7.Whenthesalesordersystemison-line,customercreditandinventorylevelscanimmediatelybeverifiedbythesalesperson,whichprovidesthesalespersonwithacompetitiveadvantageoverothersalespersonswithoutorderentrysystems.

銷售訂單系統(tǒng)運(yùn)行時(shí)，銷售人員可以隨時(shí)查詢客戶信用和庫(kù)存水平。和其他沒(méi)有訂單輸入系統(tǒng)的銷售人員相比，這就使得該銷售員更有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)?！皁n-line”在此意為“運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)、運(yùn)行”。

8.Theinformationsystemsinlogisticsareflexibletoolsforcollecting,aggregatingandanalyzingdatafromtheoperativeapplications(suchaspurchasing,production,sales,inventorycontrollingandqualitymanagementinformation).

物流信息系統(tǒng)是收集、匯總和分析應(yīng)用數(shù)據(jù)（如采購(gòu)、生產(chǎn)、銷售、庫(kù)存控制和質(zhì)量管理信息）的靈活工具。

9.Forthisreason,theinformationsystemsgivecompaniesplanningdata,inadditiontoretrievingandaggregatingactualdata.

為此，除了檢索和匯總的實(shí)際數(shù)據(jù)外，信息系統(tǒng)還為企業(yè)提供了計(jì)劃數(shù)據(jù)。

1.Manycompaniesarebeginningtobetterunderstandtheneedforlogisticsinformationsupport,andasaresult,theyhavebeguntoinvestintechnologiesthatenhancedecision-makingcapabilitiesfortransportationmanagement,warehousingmanagement,anddemandforecastingandplanning.

現(xiàn)在，很多企業(yè)開(kāi)始更好地理解這一需求，因此開(kāi)始投資那些能夠提高運(yùn)輸管理、倉(cāng)儲(chǔ)管理、需求預(yù)測(cè)與計(jì)劃等方面的決策能力的技術(shù)。

2.Originallybar-codesstoreddatainthewidthsandspacingsofprintedparallellines,buttodaytheyalsocomeinpatternsofdots,concentriccircles,andhiddeninimages.

最初，條形碼把數(shù)據(jù)儲(chǔ)存在一組平行的、由條和空組成的直線上，但現(xiàn)在條形碼也以圓點(diǎn)和同心圓的形式出現(xiàn)，有時(shí)甚至隱藏在圖像里面。

3.Atpresent,the1Dbar-codeisstillmainlyusedforcommoditiesinpractice,so1Dbar-codeisalsocalledcommoditybar-code.

目前在商品上的應(yīng)用仍以一維條形碼為主，所以一維條形碼又被稱為商品條形碼。

4.Electronicdatainterchange（EDI）istheprocessofusingcomputerstoexchangebusinessdocumentsbetweencompanies.

電子數(shù)據(jù)交換（EDI）是指企業(yè)之間利用計(jì)算機(jī)交換商業(yè)文件的過(guò)程。

在物流中使用EDI可以縮短交易時(shí)間，這有助于維持最經(jīng)濟(jì)的庫(kù)存水平，同時(shí)也有利于更好地利用倉(cāng)庫(kù)空間，減少脫銷問(wèn)題。

6.IfthechangeoverfromtraditionalmethodstoEDIhasnotbeenmadewithinsomebusinesses,othercompaniesdealingwiththemmayhavetousethemoretraditionalmethods.

如果某些企業(yè)還沒(méi)有從傳統(tǒng)的文件交換方式轉(zhuǎn)換為電子數(shù)據(jù)交換，那么與之有業(yè)務(wù)往來(lái)的企業(yè)也必須使用更為傳統(tǒng)的方法。

7.Itprovidesreliablepositioning,navigation,andtimingservicestoworldwideusersonacontinuousbasisinallweather,dayandnight.AnywhereontheearthhasanunobstructedviewoffourormoreGPSsatellites.

它可以在任何天氣情況下夜以繼日地向全世界各個(gè)地方的用戶提供可靠的定位、導(dǎo)航和定時(shí)服務(wù)。任何地區(qū)都能觀測(cè)到4顆以上GPS衛(wèi)星。
