A branch of military science, which arose in the Second World War and involves the procurement, storage and transportation of materials, personnel and equipment. Logistics (French) Logistics-Webster's New Encyclopedia Dictionary, 1993.
National Logistics Management Committee (NC PDM), 1968, is a term used in manufacturing and commerce, which describes a series of activities related to the efficient flow of finished products from production lines to consumers, and in some cases, the flow of raw materials from supply places to production places. These activities include cargo transportation, warehousing, material handling, protective packaging, inventory control, workshop and warehouse location, order processing, market forecasting and customer service.
Do a good job in logistics:
The logistics industry in China rose in 1990s. Although it started late, it has a strong development momentum. By 2003, the logistics market in China has reached 240 billion yuan, and it is expected to continue to grow at an annual rate of 30% in the next few years. At the same time, the problem of lack of professionals has surfaced. A recent survey shows that the demand gap of domestic logistics talents is more than 6 million, among which logistics information management talents have become the most scarce talents in the industry. As a new industry, due to the low access conditions and uneven quality of personnel, the salary level of the whole logistics industry has no obvious advantage compared with other industries. At present, the on-the-job logistics practitioners are basically the most basic staff responsible for warehousing and goods circulation, and relatively few of these logistics practitioners have received systematic vocational education. IT is even harder to find people who know logistics informatization, because the requirement of logistics informatization talents is to understand the whole logistics process and seamlessly connect different systems through IT technology to meet the specific needs of different customers. IT is easy for IT personnel to build a system, but it is difficult to connect different systems to meet the specific needs of different customers. Due to the lack of interdisciplinary education in China, computer graduates are "ignorant" of logistics processes, and the IT skills of logistics graduates are not too hard. At present, there are no logistics information technology graduates in China.
In the long run, under the premise that the industry is gradually mature and the quality of talents is getting higher and higher, the overall demand of the society for the logistics industry will continue to grow, and the salary of core positions in the industry will increase substantially. At present, the shortage of domestic logistics talents is not the total shortage, but the shortage of practical talents who master modern logistics management technology, that is, the shortage of comprehensive talents who knows how to manage logistics supply chain based on information system platform. Facts have also proved that many so-called "logistics talents" who only master the basic concepts and knowledge of logistics are worried about not finding a job, while those who master logistics information management technology can get high salaries. According to industry insiders, at present, taking Guangdong as an example, the average monthly salary of logistics personnel is around 2,500 yuan, while the monthly salary of a really good logistics information management manager is not much from 5,000 yuan to 1 10,000 yuan.
With China's entry into WTO, the three-year protection period of logistics industry expires, and advanced foreign management and technology will bring great competitive pressure to domestic logistics industry. At the same time, the domestic logistics industry has to adopt various means to upgrade its industry. Logistics informatization has attracted more and more attention from business operators because it can significantly improve operational efficiency and provide better services to customers at a certain cost. More and more logistics enterprises or logistics departments of enterprises regard information technology as one of the magic weapons to enhance competitiveness. Internally, they regard the information system as a necessary platform for their operation, and externally share the necessary data that customers care about. Therefore, in the future, as a logistics practitioner, whether it is an enterprise operator, general manager or senior manager, we must master the key logistics core skill of logistics information technology.
The construction and use of information system platform has given birth to the urgent demand for logistics informatization talents. Judging from the current situation, more and more enterprises have established or are establishing information systems, but it is found that the information technology ability of employees can not keep up with the goals required by the system; Although the system has been established, the ideological understanding and practical application level of employees can not be improved in a short time. Therefore, enterprises have to find ways to recruit talents with both traditional logistics experience and information system operation and management skills from the talent market or other ways with high salaries;
Judging from the actual situation of the current logistics talent market, there are very few talents with compound logistics skills, which can be said to be precious. Not only the managers of logistics enterprises need to master logistics information skills, but also the personnel at the logistics operation level need to know how to use information systems, especially those enterprises that optimize and transform their processes based on information technology. They need to operate in strict accordance with the requirements of information systems. Therefore, the demand gap for talents with logistics information skills in the logistics industry is growing. As an indispensable economic activity subject in logistics business processing, logistics information business practitioners have initially formed a new professional group. As a upstart in the logistics workplace, logistics information managers are being born and will play an increasingly important role in logistics enterprises.
