The document introduces e-logistics and discusses related modeling frameworks, platforms and architectures, demonstrators and applications, and technologies and tools. It defines supply chain and e-logistics activities like requisition, ordering and tracking. It presents the ELPIF framework for integrating e-logistics processes using web services. Examples of applications include ThyssenKrupp's system and the DigiLOGISTICS demonstrator. Relevant technologies include EDI, barcoding, GPS, the internet, databases, and enterprise resource planning systems.

What is Supply Chain
The flow of material, information, money, and
services from raw material suppliers through factories
and warehouse to end customer
WarehouseFactory End CustomerSupplier Distribution

4. Supply Chain Activity :
• Requisition, ordering, tracking, payment
• Improving the operation of supply chain
• Web–based functions online catalog, purchase order, and shipping notice
e-Procurement
• Using PDA in inventory entries (receiving, count, issuance)
Inventory Management using Wireless Technology
• Buyer and seller sharing demand & forecast plans
Collaboration Planning
• Web-based technology to support distribution, inventory tracking, transportation

6. Modeling and frameworks
 The idea is:
The need for greater, faster and more flexible
communications, a framework is required to allow any
company to establish itself in no time or make
optimum use of their legacy applications and run
efficiently with minimal cost input.
 There is such a framework:
 ELPIF for e-logistics processes integration based on
Web Services. ” This framework can be adopted as a new
service delivery model which uses a design pattern and
solution templates”

7. Modeling and frameworks
Collaborative Commerce (C-Commerce) is the name
given to commercial relationships carried out over a
collaborative framework to integrate enterprises’
business processes.
