Logistics system, being one of the most important sectors that offer substantial supports to national economy, its reliability and stability has a direct impact on the healthy development of national economy. With demand of modern integrated logistics service upgraded, the traditional chain-like structure of logistics system is being developed into a networked one. Taking the perspective of logistics service, the research conducts a deep analysis on the connotation of logistics network service and the basic structure of logistics network based on service relationship. Then the reliability of service provider/demander of logistics network is calculated. The research puts an emphasis on calculation of integrated logistics service reliability offered by logistics network with network-optimizing functions to fulfill optimal allocation of resources and concludes with some research suggestions.

Logistics system plays a key role in the modem society with its concrete support to the development of the whole areas of circulation, manufacturing and consumption. With the further development of Third-Party-Logistics (TPL) service, modem logistics service has a networked characteristic. The structure of TPL-based logistics networked service system is different from the traditional chain-like structure of logistics system. Taking the perspective of service, the study conducts a deep analysis on the characteristics of and realization of TPL-based logistics networked service system. And a series of methods on how to calculate the reliability of TPL-based logistics networked service system are put forward. It is implied that TPL-based logistics networked service system can offer much more reliable services to the service demanders with the optimal configuration among the TPL service providers and concluded with some research suggestions.
