1.Brief
The Automotive Parts Distribution Logistics System, deals with the business of Automotive-parts inbound logistics, which covers varies logistic services from production planning material collection, storage, packing, delivery and statistics.
Though the system is designed for Automotive-parts Inbound Logistics, it also considers characteristic of other distribution logistics businesses, and hence it applies for other distribution logistics centers or third-party logistic companies.

2.Concept
Automotive development tends to strengthen the industry division, which is to separate the function of Automotive-parts production and distribution from manufactory industry. By outsourcing part of the logistic management to a third-part logistic company; it achieves a more efficient service:
　•  reduce the link of storages and transportation, thus save the cost of supply
　•  reduce the investment, thus concentrate the resource in core area for new product
　　development and quality improvement
　•  Professional third-party logistic company can provide detailed information of distribution
　　plan to improve the accuracy, which is also helpful for supply and manufacturer arrange
　　the storage in advance.
Below figure shows the major characteristics of Automotive-parts distribution service:

The figure shows that, to reach the best running status, the service of Automotive-parts distribution logistic requests tight connection and co-operation of each business node. As it involves varies industries and businesses, Automotive-parts distribution is globally recognized as one of the most complicated and professional businesses, which is shown especially in the Automotive-parts Inbound Logistics.
The design fully considers the characters of Automotive-parts distribution, with the need of demand-driven pull, timely, accuracy, flexibility, we design the function in a way of step-down Pull, see figure below:

3.Function
The system fully considers the way of step-down pull function. Major flow is shown as followings:

The function focuses on the major flow of Automotive parts distribution logistics. It starts from material receiving from supplier, then material storage, request-driven of product sorting, processing and repacking, till deliver to final customer. Major functions are divided on the key point of Automotive-parts distribution logistics, which contains module of material receiving, Sorting and packing, delivering. Other functioning modules like basis management, Inventory management, planning management, statistics/Tracking provide guide and service for the major flow 。 Input data interface and output data interface are to communicate with external system.

4. Characteristic
　　1) high-level function maturity
　　 The product considers all type of process flow , provides restrict definition and covers
　　 most details of storages logistics.
　　2) bar-code solution
　　 The system is designed to support bar-code operation. It also applies document-based
　　 operation for those company use non-barcode.
　　3) Leading function
　　 The system also considers the development in Automotive and other industry, e.g.
　　 call-back system. The system also designs call-back dealing method.
　　4) Flexible for expansion
　　 The system use 3 layer structures and designed with function modules. Each module is
　　 relatively independent and flexible for expansion.
　　5) Convenient operation
　　The system considers the convenience for the user, it provides following function as:
　　　I. Besides mouse operation, provide pure keyboard operation to ensure the input speed
　　　II. Enquiry interface provide import and export function, for the convenience of data
　　　　 exchange with external system.
　　　III. Real time monitoring window, provide the monitoring function of live site operation
　　　　 for the management.
