Correctly understand logistics supply chain meaning - logistics is not transportation

? ? ? ?Many companies in China do not have a supply chain management function, some do not even have this concept. They understand the supply chain management superficial, not a system. This makes it difficult for enterprises to achieve profit through functional integration and overall process management. In most enterprises, procurement, planning, transportation, warehousing and other different sub-processes are fragmented, each dealing with their own problems.

???????Each sub-process is committed to its own local optimization, such as subcontract to the lowest-cost carriers or their own internal completion, did not consider the collection of all can be found in the expansion of logistics services. This "local savings" in the long run will inevitably lead to the rise in overall spending and corporate performance decline.

???????Logistics, a new vocabulary

???????Three or four years ago let all walks of life are crazy to pursue a, until today is still popular. What automotive logistics, book logistics, post logistics, glass logistics, logistics and so on Xiefu. They have infiltrated the lives of all walks of life which, logistics companies regarded as the third source of profits.

???????For example, China's footwear industry, two or three decades of trials and hardships, while also creating numerous miracles and glory, in recent years it is worrying that the quality is up, capacity up, scale up, brand up, sales up , And profits have stalled, and some have even regressed.

???????Since the overall performance of the upgrade, the profit has not improved? Obviously, it was eaten, but also in the logistics of this link. Our shoe, has always focused only on the production of orders, although now also began to talk about shoe logistics, but that is only to stay in the stage of oral talk, most is to take orders, and control some of the warehouse is called Logistics personnel.

???????You still responsible for the procurement of raw materials or finished product storage staff is also responsible for your storage, loading or according to the notice loaded your car, with the production of the same as usual or run here, there to ask, Here urges a reminder, wher a slow slow.

???????These are just purchasing, warehousing, production and sales of transport plate combination, fragmented and interrelated. The real sense of the logistics, should be the capital flow, information flow and the effective integration of commodity circulation. Now there are a lot of manufacturers, in order to produce the requirements of timely procurement, in order to produce timely delivery requirements, in order to order the timely delivery, but they neglect the logistics costs, because there is no unified scheduling, the departments themselves, in this "timely" Next, the wheels roll, taking away their most sensitive things.

???????The original logistics is a chain (procurement, production, sales, recycling, waste), the original logistics is the eight functions (packaging, warehousing, loading and unloading, loading and unloading, and so on), logistics is the development of the logistics industry, (Capital flow, logistics, information flow), these are the advanced ideas of foreign supply chain management, the logistics of the original three-flow one (capital flow, logistics, information flow), these are the advanced ideas of foreign supply chain management.

???????Especially the western logistics theory and logistics thinking wrongly guide China's manufacturing and logistics industry, that "logistics" only do a good job of transport, loading and unloading can, but did not think "logistics" in front of "capital flow" and "information flow" In China, only the logistics in the dynamic, capital flow and information flow does not move, or do not let logistics companies know, nor is it driven by logistics companies or with the move, anyway, just like cattle logistics companies pull goods, , The results even their own hard to carry can not get, or half a year to get the money.

???????The core of logistics supply chain management is to meet the needs of customers. To meet customer requirements of the service level, you need to have a strong core competitiveness, is to minimize business operating costs, which is the key to winning the supply chain.

???????If the formation of a smooth supply chain logistics, the various economic entities on the chain you act on me, I work on you, to achieve production, sales, service integration, the correct number of the right goods, at the right time to the correct delivery Of the location, will be able to achieve supply chain cost minimization, business operating costs to minimize.
