Abstract Through the Fourth Party Logistics' operation process, there are many factors: namely too many complex logistics tasks, too many logistics enterprises participating in the process, the cultural difference among the enterprises and etc., which increase the uncertainty on the logistics tasks. In order to match the logistics nodes accurately, to realize the seamless connection punctually and to decrease the cost and enhance service level, the Fourth Party Logistics should coordinate the relationship among the organizations and control the whole logistics process. First we analyze the necessity of coordination, then give out some efficient coordination mechanism, finally we construct the coordination model based on MAS which can be a guide to the Fourth Party Logistics.
