Abstract: A work managing system for managing B-to-B work wherein the reliability in control and the ease of operation are remarkably improved over the past. For this, the work managing system has a plurality of different work executing sites 4 for executing work assigned to them for an order received from an orderer 3 and a work control site 2 for instructing the progress of work to the plurality of work executing sites 4 and monitoring its progress while linking them with each other, where the work control site 2 and the work executing sites 4 exchange between those managing information relating to the instructions and monitoring of work through a communications network 5.

Abstract: A logistics system for realizing a high efficiency, waste-free flow of saleable items in an economy comprised of users and customers, constructed from a demand information layer 12 which receives as input requests for saleable items from customers 15 and generates integrated demand information, a supply information layer 13 which receives as input this integrated demand information and generates integrated supply information for economic entities making up the business process relating to the supply of the saleable items relating to the requests from the customers 15, and an integrated transportation layer 14 which receives as input the integrated supply information, generates integrated transportation information relating to the saleable items, and integratedly executes the physical transportation of the saleable items within the economy 10.

Abstract: A transportation arrangement center for drawing up an operations plan is arranged between shippers and both physical distribution centers and transportation bases. The transportation arrangement center is provided with a master data managing unit for managing cargo item data, physical distribution center data, and vehicle and garage data concerning vehicles managed by the transportation bases and their garages and with a route making unit for making routes, taking in consideration also priority vehicles, based on the data of the cargoes, physical distribution centers, vehicles, and garages. The route making unit sets the efficient routes satisfying the transportation orders from the shippers and the restraint conditions on operation, minimizing the number of vehicles dispatched, and selecting the optimum transportation bases. This gives a transportation arrangement system capable of improving the physical distribution efficiency while keeping down the total number of vehicles dispatched.
