Theory and applications of X party material flow

X party material flow (XPMF) is a new type of material flow (MF) under the emerging new information technology. Based on the theory of MF, this paper analyses the recent research progress that was made in XPMF from the angle of bio-evolution complexity including factor type primitive reconstruction driving type XPMF, enterprise primitive fractal synergetic type XPMF, adapting primitive swarm intelligence XPMF. Such progress has enriched and systematized the research of XPMF theory. Keywords X party material flow; PMF; supply chain; material flow mode; PMF fractal; PMF swarm intelligence; systems research
INTRODUCTION Based on the theory of material flow (MF) (Xu, 2002a, 2002b, 2003) and the theory of labour division and organization, the theory of X party material flow (XPMF) has [...]
