摘要
本文认为,沟通信息与物料流之间的最佳桥梁是熵。根据熵理论,以信息流替代物料流就是以信息这一负熵源,来抵消或补偿物料流过程中的物理熵与管理熵的增加,从而实现低熵物流。在实践中,信息流替代物料流主要表现为以信息替代库存和包装,以信息流优化和替代运输及装卸搬运。文章提出,信息技术不仅是管理手段或工具,在建造物流设施时,首先应考虑是否可以用信息系统替代;企业要发展成全国性或全球性企业,必须走制造本土化的道路;实现绿色物流的根本途径是以信息流替代物料流;物流科学将来可能成为信息科学的分支。
The author argues that the most appropriate bridge between inforInation flow and material flow is entropy. With the terminology of entropy theory, replacing material flow with inforination flow is a way to realize low entropy material flow. In practice, replacing material flow with information flow can be demonstrated as replacing storage, transformation, loading, unloading and packing with information. But, in the future relative long term, we can not completely replace material flow with in- formation flow. The material flow that can not be replaced with information can be called ＂necessary material flow＂ which is a kind of low entropy and a kind of green material flow. The author maintains that information technology is not only means or instrument of management. Manufacturing localization is a way to develop enterprises to be national or global enterprises. Green material flow can be realized by replacing material flow with information flow. And science of material flow can be viewed as a branch of science of information.
