In the 21st century, economy globalization is inevitable and international trade by ocean shipping is increasing greatly, so there is a fastigium in the ship market for shipbuilding industry. In China, there were 14.52 million shipping tons of ships finished in 2006 and China has been the three most important shipbuilding countries for 12 years, but its shipbuilding technology and management mode are undeveloped and restrict the competitive power of Chinese enterprises. Considering the real status of Chinese enterprises and technique characters of modern shipbuilding, the shipbuilding logistics mode is put forward and analyzed. And then the shipbuilding logistics management system based on MRP-II and JIT is built up, which has three kinds of plans and controls, i.e. MPS (master production schedule), MRP (material requirements planning) and shop-floor production schedule. This shipbuilding logistics management system is important and applicable for Chinese enterprises to build up the logistics mode fitting modern shipbuilding so as to improve the technology and management level and increase the competitive power.
