A Framework for Logistics Strategy Planning Based on Knowledge Syntheses

The competitiveness faced by logistic service enterprises has led them to recognize the necessity of employing suitable logistics strategies for survival and to satisfy the growing demands. However, logistics strategies planning is challenging due to the difficulties in integrating information from different partners and in exploring dynamically changing of planning alternatives. Knowledge syntheses technology is considered suitable to support planning because integrated knowledge can better descript the potentials of synergy between the available sources of information, and accordingly, a better exploitation of the logistics strategy planning. In this paper, a hybrid-computing framework is presented to explore important attributes for knowledge fusion in logistics strategy planning by taking into consideration the state-of-the-art technologies. The content of logistics strategy is formulated by using synthesis knowledge repository to retrieve and modify appropriate knowledge
