To reduce the cost of logistics, which is regarded as " the third source of profits", has been widely recognized by many enterprises. Thus logistics becomes a hot topic in the field of current management. This thesis will take a foreign company as an illustration to make a basic research on the production logistics management in manufacturing. It focus on how to set up a more efficient production logistics system by analyzing how the plan and control method and management information system adopted by a manufacturer influences on production logistics, different achievement of production logistics resulting from two different plan and control methods.There are six chapters in the thesis.Chapter 1. Introduction of the basis conception related to logistics. Define the scopes referring modern logistics and production logistics by giving definition and classification to logistics. Analyze the logistics characteristics of different enterprises. Define the task, content, and evaluating index of production logistics management.Chapter 2. Brief introduction to production logistics of Linde-Xiamen Forklift Truck Co., Ltd, including main products, material types, plan and control method, material flow programming and management information system.Chapter 3. Analysis on the existing problem of Linde-Xiamen production logistics by current reality tree, i.e. unbalance of production logistics, and indicating the reasons resulting in the unbalance.Chapter 4. Giving detailed methods and procedures to establish a balanced logistics within production system: making forecast to material flow volume by making use of advanced technology; figuring out the constraint resource by combining the status of manufacturing technology and enterprises' resources; balancing the production logistics based on the constraint resources.Chapter 5. Setting up two production logistics models for two different plan and control methods. Making flow charts and distribution matrixes with the result of simulation. Calculating and comparing the logistics index of two models.Chapter 6. Conclusion.
