Abstract:
Under the background of globalization and rapid development of information technology, logistics industry is facing increasingly fierce competition and complex operating environment. In order to maintain a competitive edge in the market, logistics companies need to improve their operational efficiency and agility. This study adopted the descriptive survey method to conduct a questionnaire survey on logistics practitioners in Bozhou area, China, aimed to explore the interrelationship between management information system, incentive mechanism and logistics agility, and then develop an efficient efficiency framework for logistics companies. Through descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, T-test and ANOVA, the results show that: respondents generally agree that the information management system is effectively used in terms of flexibility, security and integration; in terms of motivation, cost-effectiveness and employee productivity, the incentive mechanism has also been effectively applied; when it comes to logistics agility, companies excel in flexibility, responsiveness and collaboration. More importantly, there is a highly significant positive correlation between management information system, incentive mechanism and logistics agility. Based on these findings, this study proposed specific optimization measures, including enhancing the flexibility, security and integration of the information management system; implement effective incentives to improve cost effectiveness and employee productivity; as well as flexibility, responsiveness and collaboration to enhance logistics agility. The integrated application of these strategies is expected to further enhance the operational efficiency and competitiveness of logistics companies.
