Logistic Structures in Real Life

The main components of Logistics structure focuses on the following elements:

• Network,
• Communication,
• Planning and
• Integration.

This concerns both functional and financial but also technical aspects. Such high complex and dynamic evolving systems can only be represented and supported in structured and well defined technical environments. These systems are prerequisites to guarantee a flexible and extendable Logistics structures consisting of different parties, locations, rules and processes.

Technical Requirements of a Logistic Solution

A logical framework with an appropriate technical foundation has the ability to support the various requirements of Logistics processes efficiently. Such framework contains:

• Flexible UIs.
• A Service-Oriented Architecture with flexible, standardized components.
• A communication layer or module.
• An integration layer or module (technical and professional) where available standards can be implemented.
• A standardized and public interfaces of external sources.

Business Requirements of a Logistic Solution

To implement logistic processes not only technical requirements need to be fulfilled. Business experiences from logistics needs and projects are the quintessence for a successful logistic concept. It requires a balance and combination of individual functional requirements and standardized, technical implementation.

An example for this are our in-depth know how and experiences especially in the Railway area. From our experiences in many international projects we can use our expertise especially in two strategic areas. The areas are resource planning and communication in the process of logistic productions. Both areas have a significant influence of the efficiency of train operating companies.
