1. The Definition of Logistics 物流的定義After pleting a mercial transaction, logistics will execute the transfer of goods from the supplier( seller) to the customer( buyer) in the most costeffective manner. This is the definition of logistics. During the transfer process, hardware such as logistics facilities and equipment( logistics carriers) are needed, as well as information control and standardization. In addition, supports from the government and logistics association should be in place.在完成商業(yè)交易之后,物流將以最低成本和最高效益的方式執(zhí)行將商品從供應(yīng)商(賣方)流轉(zhuǎn)到顧客(買方)的過程。這就是物流的定義。在物流過程中,既需要諸如物流設(shè)施和設(shè)備(物流運輸工具等)的硬件,也需要對物流實施信息化管理進行物流標(biāo)準化。此外,政府和物流組織的支持也不可或缺。Three major functions of logistics物流的三大主要功能(1) Creating time value: same goods can be valued different at different times. Goods often stop during the transfer process, which is professionally called the storage of logistics. It creates the time value for goods.(1)創(chuàng)造時間價值:同種商品因所處時間的不同而有著不同的價值。在商品流轉(zhuǎn)過程中,往往會處于某種停滯的狀態(tài),物流的專業(yè)術(shù)語就稱之為儲存。儲存創(chuàng)造了商品的時間價值。(2) Creating location value: same goods can be valued differently at different locations. The value added during the transfer process is the location value of logistics.(2)創(chuàng)造場所價值: 同種商品因所處位置的不同而有著不同的價值。這種因商品流轉(zhuǎn)過程中而產(chǎn)生的附加增值稱之為物流的場所價值。(3) Distribution processing value: sometimes logistics create distribution processing value, which changes the length, thickness and packages of the goods. Like popular saying, “ cutting into smaller parts” is the most monly seen distribution processing within logistics create added value for goods.(3) 同配送加工價值:有時,物流活動也能創(chuàng)造配送加工價值,這種物流加工主要改變商品的長度、厚度和包裝形態(tài)。物流中經(jīng)常提到的“分割成更小的部分”就是配送加工中最為常見的形式。大多數(shù)物流加工都能創(chuàng)造商品的附加價值。2. Logistics is a new mercial area, developing from the traditional stage to a modern one. The main differences between these two stage include:物流作為新興的商務(wù)領(lǐng)域,經(jīng)歷了從傳統(tǒng)物流向現(xiàn)代物流發(fā)展的兩個階段。這兩個階段的不同主要體現(xiàn)在以下兩個方面:(1) Modern logistics adopts containerization techniques. The goods transfer process starts with packaging, followed by transportation, storage and distribution. The whole process is operated under logistics standards. Based on the logistics base module of 600400mm, from the logistics module of 1,2001,000mm, and enlarge to the size of 2,5912,438mmthe size of highwide of the container. It can be adjusted to the standard sizes of containers for trains, trucks and ships.(1)現(xiàn)代物流采用了集裝技術(shù)。商品物流往往從包裝開始,而后經(jīng)歷運輸、儲存和配送等過程。整個過程始終在物流標(biāo)準化的前提下運行。以物流基礎(chǔ)模數(shù)尺寸600400MM為基礎(chǔ),制定出物流模數(shù)尺寸12001000MM,并將其放大至25912438MM,即形成集裝箱的高度與寬度標(biāo)準尺寸。并能調(diào)整成適合鐵運、汽運和船運的集裝箱標(biāo)準規(guī)格尺寸。(2) Information technologies are most important for modern logistics. Bar Code, POS, EDI and GPS systems dramatically improve the efficiency and accuracy of the logistics activities. Internet further assists the market development, operation and management of the logistics industry.(2)信息技術(shù)在現(xiàn)代物流中尤其重要。條形碼、銷售時點系統(tǒng)、電子數(shù)據(jù)傳輸系統(tǒng)、全球衛(wèi)星定位系統(tǒng)的使用,極大地提高了物流活動的效率和精確程度。而互聯(lián)網(wǎng)更加有助于物流管理的市場開發(fā)、運營和管理。 Logistics 國際物流An increasing number of panies are involving in international markets through exporting, licensing, joins ventures, and ownership. This trend should continue. With such expansion there is a need to develop worldwide logistics networks. Integrated logistics management and cost analysis will be more plex and difficult to manage.
