An
Open Forum
"Towards e-Community
for Hong Kong Air Cargo Logistics "
organized
by
Center
of
Cyber
Logistics
|
|
The global
trend of e-commerce and the use of information technology
are creating new challenges and opportunities for agents of
the air cargo industry. With careful planning and cooperation
among industry agents and with e-commerce as an enabler, the
air cargo industry can be transformed into one that can provide
customization to individual shippers at the cost level of
mass production. The key components of air cargo logistics
are in the setting up of a fourth-party e-community platform
and a fourth-party logistics center. This platofrm provides
an integrated Web-based environment for third-party logistics
service providers to trade and manage their logistics processes.
The Center
of Cyber Logistics foresees the need of bringing the issues
in focus for the industry and the government to discuss collectively
in a collaborative environment. Thus, the Center initiates
this open forum for all constituents in the air cargo industry
to exchnage ideas and opinions on imperative issues. With
that, the Center will press on with investigation to provide
constructive polcy and recommendations to government and the
industry alike.
The agenda
of the forum will include an overview of impacts of e-commerce
on the air cargo logistics industry, an introduction to the
e-community platform along with its functionalities including
information exchange, logistics services trading, and business
management facilitation, and a demonstration of such a platform.
We will also discuss the use of IT in customs and other administrative
procedures. The forum will conclude with a roundtable discussion
on common issues and plans to achieve the logistics e-community.
