Transport Company management system
ABSTARCT :
This research reports the experiences of both adopters and non-adopters of transportation management system (TMS) technology. TMS adopters represent a diverse array of companies, with a surprisingly high percentage of adopters using outsourced services for decision support activities. Motives for adoption tend to align with the firm’s strategic needs though functionality focuses on the shipper’s day-to-day operational needs. While expectations of system performance and return on investment vary greatly, TMS users illustrate a generally high level of satisfaction. Non-adopters view decision support for transportation activities as a low priority. The article explores future prospects for TMS development and adoption.
EXISTING SYSTEM :
? There are also ontologies related to fuel management, road safety, strategies of transport companies.
? Moreover, the pandemic has sparked a surge in online commerce, which has prompted trucking companies to explore new ideas to meet the increased consumer demand.
? When starting the operation of the information system, it often turns out that the initial procedure for the users work should be adjusted.
? This makes it possible to carry out both a flexible and a clearer and more transparent deployment of the information system.
? It should be noted that currently there is no single reference ontology that fully describes trucking.
DISADVANTAGE :
? A lack of quality training was reported also, as 21 percent of the adopting firms reported that insufficient training was a problem with TMS in their implementation.
? These findings indicate that cost drivers, including fewer shipments as a result of shipment consolidation, lower freight bills, and lower administration costs, are the chief reasons firms pursue a TMS, although customer service issues and lane network analysis also hold sway
? Delays in the implementation phase of the project were also an issue for one-half of the respondents.
? Despite these challenges, TMS implementation teams found a variety of ways to address these issues.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
• It is proposed to use the ontological approach to form these semantic relations.
• We propose to form an enterprise ontology that includes technical, social, cultural and economic aspects of the organization’s functioning.
• It is proposed to use the SCOR reference model (supply chain operations reference) for supply chain management, from which reference business processes are selected, for modeling the Zachman Architecture.
• Digital transformation involves changing not only business processes, but also business models, finding optimal and effective IT solutions for these purposes becomes not a trivial task .
ADVANTAGE :
? In general, TMS users feel that the systems are having a positive effect upon the performance delivered by the firm.
? When considering financial measures of performance, TMS users were often satisfied with the performance of their systems.
? While the levels of investment varied greatly and virtually all implementations faced difficulties of one kind or another, adopting firms were usually satisfied with the performance of their systems given the total price paid for hardware, software and installation.
? TMS seems to be fulfilling the promise of value, yielding efficiency gains that offset the required investment in a timely manner.
