碩士 === 明志技術學院 === 工程管理研究所 === 92 === Air cargo forwarder as the servers to the shippers and the customers to the airlines, play an important role in the whole process of supply chain. However air cargo forwarder is an operation intensive industry that involves many participators and complicated operations. So a powerful information system is needed to optimize the performance of cargo control between oversea commerce partners, customers and branch companies and helpful in raising the competitiveness. The purpose of this study was using UML(Unified Modeling Language) to model an air cargo forwarder system of logistics provider. First, the research will discuss the concepts of the supply chain management, the characteristics of global logistics management, and the definition of the third party of logistics provider — air cargo forwarder. Then the research use UML as a modeling tool to construct an air cargo forward system. From this research, we can find that the system modeled by UML was more fit for real requirements of business than before and took the information flows along supply chain with maximal cost efficiency, effectiveness, delivery, and flexibility.
