What is logistics information? What are the characteristics of logistics information?

Logistics informatization is the key to the development of modern logistics and the soul and main development trend of logistics system. In the new century, China has determined the policy of promoting industrialization by informationization and promoting informationization by industrialization. In order to promote the development of China's logistics industry, manufacturing industry and commercial circulation industry, we must vigorously improve the level of logistics informatization in China, and then promote institutional innovation, logistics technology innovation and business model innovation.

Compared with other fields of information, the particularity of logistics information is mainly manifested in:

(A) Because logistics is a large-scale activity, logistics information sources are also widely distributed, with many information sources and large amounts of information. If unified management or standardization is not realized in this large scale, information will lack universality.

(B) Logistics information is particularly dynamic, the value of information decays quickly, and the timeliness of information work is higher. In large-scale systems, timeliness is emphasized, and information collection, processing and processing should be fast.

(3) There are many kinds of logistics information, not only there are different kinds of information in each link of this system, but also these kinds of information must be collected because the logistics system is closely related to other systems such as production system, sales system and consumption system. This makes the classification, research and screening of logistics information more difficult.

Different types of logistics information have different characteristics. For example, the information generated by the logistics system needs to be provided to the society, so the information collected is comprehensive and complete. Other system information collected should be selected according to logistics requirements.
