Abstract

In many schools, the current teaching methods for students majoring in logistics can't bridge the gap between logistical theories and real worlds. The teaching methods and tools are not sufficient to the need of the society. Except for optimizing the structure of teaching faculties and restructuring the teaching schedule, the universities should reinforce the building of logistics experimental platform to combine the theory and real world. Based on Virtual Enterprise (enterprise practice) model with JAVA, this paper proposes a virtual supply chain platform for the experiments of students. In the virtual supply chain, many experiments can be conducted. These experiments consist of the cooperation and competition between firms. The experiment platform is beneficial to the studying and teaching efficiencies for the major of logistics.
