Designing an Integrated Logistics Information System

A state-owned enterprise construction company has many projects that need a logistics process to ensure supplies deliver on time. Currently, there is no logistics planning when project PIC (person-in-charge) requests the logistics to DSCM (Supply Chain Management Division) impromptu. With limited resources in DSCM, it is overwhelmed because there is no logistics process standardization with a lack of controlling the logistics status, such as real- time position. Nobody can track the status directly, except DSCM calls 3PL (third-party logistics) to get information. The implementation of the HSE (health, safety, and environment) is not optimal due to nobody ensuring the HSE implementation. The reporting is done manually and takes at least a week. These long lead processes time can affect the logistics cost inefficiently. If the logistics cost increases, the profitability will decrease. The solution is developing a cloud-based system that integrates with internal and external databases, called an integrated logistics information system. This system can provide a standardized logistics process to facilitate the planning and request order. The position tracker is included to provide real-time tracking of the delivered cargo. Due to its cloud-based system, it is accessible to access everywhere at any time. Currently, the system is designed in flowchart form and for its future implementation plan, it will take around thirteen months from development until its implementation as a pilot project. The projections of the system will be reducing the leads time and logistics cost, thereby the logistics cost can run more efficiently, and the company’s profitability will increase.
