What does modern logistics mean?

Question 1: What is the concept of modern logistics? The definition of modern logistics refers to a new comprehensive management that integrates logistics activities such as information, transportation, warehousing, inventory, handling and packaging. Its task is to reduce the total logistics cost as much as possible and provide the best service for customers. The main features of modern logistics According to the development of foreign logistics, the main features of modern logistics are summarized as follows:

1. Rapid logistics reaction. Logistics service providers respond faster and faster to the demand of upstream and downstream logistics distribution, the lead time is shorter and shorter, the distribution interval is shorter and shorter, the logistics distribution speed is faster and faster, and the commodity turnover times are more and more.

2. Integration of logistics functions. Modern logistics focuses on the integration of logistics and other links in the supply chain, including the integration of logistics channels and commercial channels, the integration of logistics channels, the integration of logistics functions and the integration of logistics links and manufacturing links.

3. Serialization of logistics services. Modern logistics emphasizes the correct positioning, perfection and serialization of logistics service functions. In addition to traditional warehousing, transportation, packaging, distribution and processing services, modern logistics services extend upward to market research and forecasting, procurement and order processing, and downward to value-added services such as distribution, logistics consulting, logistics scheme selection and planning, inventory control strategy suggestion, payment recovery and settlement, education and training; In terms of connotation, it improves the supporting role of the above services in decision-making.

4. Standardization of logistics operations. Modern logistics emphasizes the standardization and stylization of functions, workflows, operations and actions, making complex operations simple actions that are easy to popularize and assess.

5. Systematize logistics objectives. Modern logistics is the overall planning of a company's various logistics activities from a systematic perspective, dealing with the relationship between logistics activities and business activities and company goals, and the relationship between logistics activities and logistics activities, not seeking the optimization of individual activities, but seeking the optimization of overall activities.

6. Modernization of logistics means. Modern logistics uses advanced technology, equipment and management to provide services for sales. The larger the scale and scope of production, circulation and sales, the more modern the logistics technology, equipment and management. Computer technology, communication technology, mechatronics technology and speech recognition technology are widely used. The most advanced logistics system in the world uses G P S (Global Positioning System), satellite communication, radio frequency identification device (RF) and robots to realize automation, mechanization, paperless and intelligence. For example, in the mid-1990s, the U.S. Department of Defense (D O D) adopted these technologies in its military logistics system for multinational forces carrying out peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia, and their technologies were the most complex and sophisticated in the world.

7. Logistics organization networking. In order to provide rapid and all-round logistics support for product promotion, modern logistics needs a sound logistics network system, and the logistics activities between all points on the network remain systematic and consistent, which can ensure that the entire logistics network has the best inventory level and inventory distribution, and the transportation and distribution are fast and flexible, which can be dispersed and closed. Only by forming a network can dispersed logistics monomers meet the needs of modern production and circulation.

8. Marketization of logistics operation. The concrete operation of modern logistics adopts market mechanism. Whether the enterprise organizes logistics by itself or entrusts socialized logistics enterprises to undertake logistics tasks, the overall goal is the best cooperation of "service-cost". Whoever can provide the best combination of "service-cost" will be invited to serve. There are many excellent examples of "big and complete" and "small and complete" self-operated logistics in the world, and there are also many examples of using third-party logistics enterprises to provide logistics services. Comparatively speaking, the socialization and specialization of logistics have occupied the mainstream, and even non-socialized and non-specialized logistics organizations have implemented strict economic accounting.

9. Electronic logistics information. Due to the application of computer information technology, the visibility of modern logistics process is obviously increased, and the risks of inventory backlog, delayed delivery, untimely delivery and uncontrollable inventory and transportation in logistics process are greatly reduced, so that the coordination and cooperation among suppliers, logistics providers, wholesalers and retailers in organizing and controlling logistics process can be strengthened. [Edit this paragraph] The difference between modern logistics and traditional logistics. Traditional logistics generally refers to the packaging, transportation, loading and unloading and storage of products after leaving the factory, while modern logistics puts forward the concept of logistics systematization or overall logistics and integrated logistics management and puts it into practice.

The difference between modern logistics and traditional logistics. Traditional logistics generally refers to the packaging, transportation, loading and unloading and storage of products after leaving the factory, while modern logistics puts forward the concept of logistics systematization or integrated logistics management with modern logistics and puts it into practice. Specifically, it is to extend logistics to both ends, add new connotations, and organically combine social logistics with enterprise logistics, starting from purchasing logistics, going through production logistics, then entering sales logistics, and going through packaging, transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, processing and distribution, finally reaching users (consumers), and finally recycling logistics. It can be said that modern logistics includes the whole physical circulation process of products from "life" to "death". The difference between traditional logistics and modern logistics is mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1. Traditional logistics only provides simple replacement, while modern logistics provides value-added services. 2. Traditional logistics is passive service, while modern logistics is active service. 3. Traditional logistics is controlled manually, while modern logistics is managed by information. 4. Traditional logistics has no uniform service standard, while modern logistics implements standardized service. 5. Traditional logistics focuses on point-to-point or line-to-line services, while modern logistics builds a global service network. 6.

Question 3: What does modern logistics management mean? Modern logistics refers to a new type of comprehensive management that integrates information, transportation, warehousing, inventory, loading and unloading, packaging and other logistics activities. Its task is to reduce the total logistics cost as much as possible and provide the best service for customers. Many domestic experts and scholars believe that "modern" logistics is a process of transferring logistics from the supply place to the demand place at the most economical cost according to the needs of customers. It mainly includes transportation, storage, processing, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution and information processing.

The aspects reflected are:

fast reaction

Logistics service providers respond faster and faster to the demand of upstream and downstream logistics distribution, the lead time is shorter and shorter, the distribution interval is shorter and shorter, the logistics distribution speed is faster and faster, and the commodity turnover times are more and more.

Function integral

Modern logistics focuses on the integration of logistics and other links in the supply chain, including the integration of logistics channels and commercial channels, the integration of logistics channels, the integration of logistics functions and the integration of logistics links and manufacturing links.

Serialization of services

Modern logistics is the overall planning of a company's various logistics activities from a systematic perspective, dealing with the relationship between logistics activities and business activities and company goals, and the relationship between logistics activities and logistics activities, not seeking the optimization of individual activities, but seeking the optimization of overall activities.

Modernization of means

Modern logistics uses advanced technology, equipment and management to provide services for sales, and the production, circulation and sales scale of modern logistics enterprises and third-party logistics are more standardized.

The larger and wider the scope, the more modern the logistics technology, equipment and management. Computer technology, communication technology, mechatronics technology and speech recognition technology are widely used. The most advanced logistics system in the world uses GPS (Global Positioning System), satellite communication, radio frequency identification device (RF) and robot, which realizes automation, mechanization, paperless and intelligence. For example, in the mid-1990s, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) adopted these technologies in its military logistics system for multinational forces carrying out peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia, and their technologies were the most complex and sophisticated in the world.

Organizational network

With the expansion of production and circulation space, in order to provide fast and all-round logistics support for product promotion, modern logistics needs to have a sound logistics network system, and the logistics activities between all points on the network remain systematic and consistent, so as to ensure that the whole logistics network has the best overall inventory level and inventory distribution, and the transportation and distribution are fast and flexible, which can be opened and closed to form a fast and flexible supply channel. Only by forming a network can dispersed logistics monomers meet the needs of modern production and circulation.

Management marketization

The concrete operation of modern logistics adopts market mechanism. Whether the enterprise organizes logistics by itself or entrusts socialized logistics enterprises to undertake logistics tasks, the overall goal is the best cooperation of "service-cost". Whoever can provide the best combination of "service-cost" will be invited to serve.

Question 4: What does modern logistics mean? Is it the same as express delivery? Hello, logistics and express delivery are different! Logistics: mainly heavy goods, large quantity. The more you send, the heavier the discount, and the logistics company can transport many "contraband" that the courier company can't accept and send. Such as liquid. Express delivery: it belongs to the business category, and it is all small items, such as documents, clothes and samples. This is the obvious difference. Of course, some courier companies also have logistics, depending on what you send.

Question 5: What does logistics mean? What is included? Logistics refers to the whole process of planning, implementing and managing raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and related information of commodities from the place of origin to the place of consumption by means of transportation, storage and distribution at the lowest cost.

Logistics composition: commodity transportation, distribution, warehousing, packaging, handling, distribution and processing, and related logistics information.

The specific contents of logistics activities include the following aspects: user service, demand forecasting, order processing, distribution, inventory control, transportation, warehouse management, layout and location of factories and warehouses, handling, procurement, packaging and intelligence information.

Question 6: What is the modern logistics industry? [Edit this paragraph] The definition of modern logistics industry

Modern logistics refers to the effective flow of raw materials and finished products from the starting point to the end point and the whole process of related information. It organically combines transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, processing, sorting, distribution, information and other links to form a complete supply chain, providing users with multi-functional and integrated integration.

Modern logistics industry is a cross-industry, cross-department, cross-regional and high-permeability new composite industry. Modern logistics industry involves national economic industries, including railway transportation, highway transportation, waterway transportation, loading and unloading and other transportation services, warehousing, wholesale and retail.

[Edit this paragraph] The practical significance of accelerating the development of modern logistics industry

With the development of market economy, the logistics industry has risen from the end industry in the past to the leading industry to guide production and promote consumption. Modern logistics industry is a comprehensive industry with modern transportation as the core, information technology as the support, modern manufacturing and commerce as the foundation, and integrating systematization, informationization and warehousing modernization. Therefore, its development will certainly play a great role in optimizing the industrial structure, enhancing the development potential of enterprises and improving the quality of economic operation.

First of all, accelerating the development of modern logistics industry is an inevitable choice to optimize the regional industrial structure and revitalize the tertiary industry. According to the law of the development and evolution of industrial structure, the development direction of industrial structure is the process of evolution and upgrading from primary industry to secondary industry and tertiary industry. The essence of modern logistics industry is the tertiary industry, which belongs to technology-intensive and high value-added high-tech industries. It is the product of the highly developed division of labor and specialization in modern society. It has the characteristics of high asset structure, high technology structure and high labor force, which can promote the transformation of traditional transportation and warehousing enterprises, integrate traditional business operations and extend the scope of services.

Secondly, accelerating the development of modern logistics industry is an effective way for enterprises to reduce costs and improve the quality and efficiency of economic operation. Modern logistics is a revolution of circulation mode and a "third profit source" besides reducing material consumption and improving labor productivity. In the era of planned economy, production is the center, production enterprises and circulation enterprises have large inventories and occupy more funds, while storage and transportation enterprises have insufficient effective supply and low utilization rate of facilities, which leads to ineffective capital turnover and low quality of economic operation. Under the condition of market economy, the flow of production factors and funds is based on profit, and "profit-seeking" is its fundamental feature. By using modern logistics, we can improve work efficiency, reduce production costs and make enterprises get more profits.

Third, accelerating the development of modern logistics industry is an important means to provide jobs and ease employment pressure. Like the birth and development of any emerging industry, modern logistics not only promotes the adjustment of the industrial structure of the national economy, but also promotes the expansion of employment. The tertiary industry is a labor-intensive industry, and the same investment can create many more jobs than the secondary industry.

Finally, accelerating the development of modern logistics industry is an urgent need to improve the investment environment and expand opening up. Modern logistics industry, as a service industry, requires higher infrastructure conditions such as transportation and communication. It is a very important investment environment for a place, which is related to the level of opening up and image of a place.

[Edit this paragraph] The development model of modern logistics industry in developed countries

1. USA: Integrated Logistics Management System

The United States is one of the earliest countries in the world to develop the logistics industry, and it is also a mature country. In 2000, the scale of American logistics industry reached 900 billion US dollars, accounting for more than 10% of American GDP, and there were more than 1000 companies specializing in providing logistics services. The American logistics model emphasizes "integrated logistics management system", which is a way to focus on the overall interests, break through the departmental management system, and carry out unified planning and management as a whole. All components of the national logistics system in the United States are in the leading position in the world, especially distribution centers, express delivery and third-party logistics. At present, the proportion of enterprises using third-party logistics in the United States is about 58%, and their demand is still growing. The revenue of the third-party logistics industry in the United States increased at an average annual rate of 15% to 20%, from 1994 to 50 billion dollars in 2000. The third-party logistics in the United States not only undertakes the single business of warehousing or transportation, but also takes charge of comprehensive customer logistics business such as distribution, delivery, inventory management, receiving and inspection, and transshipment and sub-packaging of goods.

Question 9: What is the difference between modern logistics and e-commerce? The relationship between e-commerce and modern logistics industry is a mutual condition and dynamic restriction. If the relationship is handled properly and the measures taken are effective, the two can promote each other and accelerate development; On the contrary, it may also contain each other.

First of all, modern logistics is a necessary condition for the development of e-commerce.

1. Modern logistics technology has created conditions for the rapid promotion of e-commerce.

Every e-commerce transaction generally needs to have three basic elements: logistics, information flow and capital flow, in which logistics is the foundation, information is the bridge and capital is the purpose. Every business transaction is often accompanied by logistics and information flow, and trading partners need to send, track, sort, receive, store, extract and package products. In the information-based e-commerce era, the cooperation between logistics and information flow becomes more important, and modern logistics technology must be used.

Logistics technology refers to all the professional technologies related to the activities of logistics elements, including various operation methods and management skills, such as distribution processing technology, article packaging technology, article identification technology, article real-time tracking technology and so on. With the popularization of computer network technology, many modern information technologies are integrated into logistics technology, such as GIS (Geographic Information System), GPS (Global Positioning System), EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), bar code (bar code) and so on. The logistics industry has accelerated the application of modern information technology and paved the way for the promotion of e-commerce.

2. Logistics distribution system is the supporting system of e-commerce.

Modern logistics distribution can provide services for e-commerce customers. According to the characteristics of e-commerce, the whole logistics distribution system is managed and dispatched in a unified way, tally is completed at the logistics base according to the requirements of users, and the prepared goods are delivered to the consignee. This modern logistics model is of great significance for logistics enterprises to improve service quality, reduce logistics costs and improve economic and social benefits of enterprises.

3. Logistics distribution system improves the efficiency of social and economic operation.

Logistics distribution enterprises adopt networked computer technology, modern hardware equipment, software system and advanced management means to carry out a series of tally work such as sorting, allocation, sorting, division of labor and distribution in strict accordance with users' ordering requirements, and deliver them to all kinds of users regularly, regularly and quantitatively to meet their demand for goods. Logistics distribution has become a pioneer of innovation in the circulation field with a brand-new look, representing the main direction of modern marketing. Compared with the traditional logistics mode, the new logistics distribution is easier to realize informationization, automation, modernization, socialization, intelligence and simplification, so that goods can flow smoothly and make the best use of them, which not only reduces the inventory of production enterprises, speeds up the capital turnover, improves logistics efficiency, reduces logistics costs, but also meets social needs and promotes the healthy development of the economy.

Second, e-commerce provides technical conditions and market environment for the logistics industry to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

The rapid movement of goods in logistics system depends entirely on information, and the lack of accuracy of logistics information system is the biggest obstacle to the integration of logistics channels today. At present, most companies still focus on trading systems. Although trading systems are also very important to the daily operation of the company, they can't solve the problems of quick response and strategic decision-making, and the quick response ability is an important symbol of high management level and efficient operation of logistics enterprises.

The rise of e-commerce has brought a broader value-added space for the logistics industry, and network technology provides the best means for logistics enterprises to establish an efficient and economical logistics information network. Of course, at present, the logistics industry has exposed various unsatisfactory places because it can't adapt to the rapid development of e-commerce, but this is precisely the source of unlimited business opportunities for modern logistics service industry.

1. E-commerce has created favorable conditions for the integration of logistics functions.

The development of e-commerce will intensify the competition in the logistics industry. The main aspect of competition is not hardware but software, which is a service supported by high technology. E-commerce can be manifested in the application of many technologies, but only through the mutual promotion of technology and commerce can the form and content be unified. E-commerce companies hope that the distribution provided by logistics enterprises will not only be delivery, but eventually become the customer service provider of e-commerce companies, assist e-commerce companies to complete after-sales service and provide more value-added services, such as tracking product orders, providing sales statistics, settling payment on behalf of buyers and sellers, conducting market research and forecasting, providing purchasing information and consulting services, and increasing the core service value of e-commerce companies.

2. E-commerce has created favorable conditions for logistics enterprises to realize large-scale operation.

E-commerce builds an ideal business platform for logistics enterprises to implement networked and large-scale operation, which is convenient for logistics enterprises to establish their own marketing network, information network and distribution network. Of course, the operation mode of networked operation is different ... >>
