Design of Life Cycle Management System of Logistics Information Standards and its Realization

摘要

As the importance of standards is increasing recently, many efforts are been made for standard management at home, too. The biggest problem in utilizing standards is that users do not make use of them actively even though once the standards were put into establishment. Most of logistics workers are keenly aware of the necessity of logistics information standards but they feel it very difficult to access to the standards and even though the necessary standard was established, it was not elaborately presented along with the utilization plans such as publicity activity, education to industries so that they do not like to look for the related standard unless it is required to convert. Also as people and products have life cycle, standard has life cycle, too. Due to change in international environments, development of information technologies and change in systems, the standard is supposed to be revise or discarded in a continuous manner. However, a case happens that users are using the old standard before the revision or disuse as it is because they could not be furnished with the necessary information of revision or disuse of the standard. Therefore, it needs systematic management of life cycle of standard such as establishment, revision, disuse, etc. and requires structure and information system, which are specified to logistics industry and by which life cycle of standards can be managed systematically. In this study, a new system, which is called as ' ' Life Cycle Management System of Logistics Information Standards' ', is presented and after reviewed the present state and defined the business, the information system for effective management of logistics information standard is designed to realize using the method of object-oriented design.
