With the rapid development and expansion of Iron& Steel and Petrifaction Industries, the Industrial Gases Industry which takes both of the industries as its major customers has also acquired unpredictable opportunity in marketing expansion. These have always been the popular subjects in Industrial Gases Vocation, which has relatively high requirements on investments, continuous and stable supply, complexity of process, automatized instrumentation control and operation risks, to establish critical capacity planning of precise, reliable and flexible customers responding, enhance procurement performance and reduce stock level of key materials and operate in the optimized module while the requirements of customers are met. Correspondingly, searching out an effective approach to solve similar problems is the orientation of all pursuing in this area.In Chapter One, the management status of industrial gases vocation was overviewed and the logistics issues at BTG instanced in the article are elicited as well.
