Integrating logistic capabilities and employment level into distributed manufacturing systems along global supply chains

在目前的制造系统中，有关物流能力和就业水平的信息没有被适当地用于确定最有效的生产计划。因此，由于生产和物流的不平衡、不同步和不稳定的整合，新的全球制造战略所节省的成本和交货期可能会受到损害。该研究的重点是改善分布式制造和物流系统之间的信息接口沿着全球供应链。在LogGlobal项目的框架内，将开展关于生产和物流一体化互补专题的五个巴西研究分项目，即：货物运输和物流分配的动态方法;监测物流和生产能力及技术的综合框架;分析物流业技术与效率之间的相互关系;出口制造商和离岸运营商之间的运输交易系统的建议;以及，供应网络中的组织间关系和管理政策的调查。德国和巴西的研究子项目将共同促进概念和技术的发展，支持制造和物流的平衡整合。

In present manufacturing systems, information concerning logistic capabilities and employment level are not appropriately utilised to determine most effective production plans. Therefore, cost and leadtime savings obtained with new global manufacturing strategies might be impaired due to the unbalanced, unsynchronised and unstable integration of production and logistic flows. The research focuses on improving informational interfaces between distributed manufacturing and logistic systems along global supply chains. Within the framework of project LogGlobal five Brazilian research subprojects on complementary topics of production and logistics integration will be pursued, namely: dynamic approach to cargo transport and logistics distribution; integrative framework for monitoring logistic and production capabilities and technologies; analysis of the interrelation between technology and efficiency in the logistics industry; proposition of a transport transaction system between exporting manufacturers and off-shore carriers; and, investigation of inter-organisational relationships and managing policies in supply networks. Together, the German and Brazilian research subprojects will contribute to the development of concepts and technologies that support a balanced integration of manufacturing and logistics.
