Introduction: In order to realize efficient logistics management, an effective information mechanism must be established. With the development and popularization of information technology, especially in recent years, Internet technology has made great progress in solving the problems of information enjoyment, information transmission, information standard and information cost. The following are the advantages of enterprise logistics informatization that I have brought to you, and I hope it will help you.
Information can be widely used as the basis for supervision and decision-making. Therefore, informatization enables enterprises to successfully collect, transmit, process and enjoy information, and effectively use all kinds of information to make correct judgments in the decision-making process, thus improving economic benefits. In order to make a breakthrough in enterprise logistics in the future, it is necessary to realize the construction of informatization. The advantages of enterprise logistics informatization are as follows:
Optimize services. Logistics enterprises win by service, and informatization can help enterprises improve their service level. For example, China Post, UPS and FedEx are engaged in parcel express service in China, and there is not much difference in hardware configuration. However, UPS and FedEx provide better standardization and complete services through information technology. First of all, customers can choose the most satisfactory delivery method when delivering packages. UPS uses a set of intuitive software, which can simulate different delivery routes, the time when goods arrive at different places and the corresponding delivery costs on the computer. Secondly, UPS can track the goods, and if the sender needs it, he can see all the states of the package in the delivery process. In addition, for large customers, UPS can also provide online tools to remind them at any time what services they can provide and the cost of these services, so as to better meet customer requirements. In contrast, the services provided by China Post are non-standardized. If a parcel is sent from Beijing to Chongqing, the post office may say it will arrive within a week, but the exact date is uncertain.
Improve efficiency. The development speed of logistics informatization in France has reached 65,438+00% every year. Automobile manufacturing and some professional logistics enterprises have greatly improved their operational efficiency through logistics informatization. For example, the logistics system designed by Renault Automobile Company shortens the delivery period to 15 days from 35 days through information management. Each logistics unit of its system is designed around how to shorten delivery time and improve delivery efficiency, and they regard improving efficiency as the key link to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. In this process, due to the increase in investment, logistics costs may increase; At the same time, it won time and space, enhanced competitiveness, expanded market share and improved efficiency.
Reduce costs. The effective way to reduce the cost of logistics enterprises is to optimize management, and informatization is undoubtedly the top priority of optimized management. For example, the BBP (Electronic Procurement Platform) project designed and implemented by Haier Group has built a perfect internal supply chain based on the back-end ERP system, covering the centralized procurement of raw materials of the whole group, raw material inventory management, three-dimensional warehouse, production plans of various business divisions, raw material distribution at production line stations, raw material consumption of finished products off-line and parts procurement of logistics headquarters, which greatly reduced the procurement cost, reduced the storage area by half and reduced the turnover time of inventory funds from 30 days to 65,438+.
Promote decision making. It is the focus of every business leader to make scientific judgments and decisions in time according to market reactions. In particular, most small and medium-sized enterprises in China are still in the early stage of development, and they need to invest their limited resources in products with large market profit space in time, so they need to grasp and understand the market situation in time. The network distribution management system adopted by some domestic manufacturing enterprises has realized the management decision-making mechanism based on information, effectively solved the problem of unsmooth information, and thus responded to market changes more flexibly.
Increase profits. Aokang Shoes in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province is a private enterprise. The problem they solved is to use IT system to reflect the sales, demand and supply information of more than 65,438+0,000 distribution points nationwide to the headquarters in time, so as to ensure that the headquarters has a quick and effective control over the national operation. On this basis, the warehouse management and freight management are partially expanded. It seems simple, but it is this that makes Aokang's business volume and sales increase greatly.
Logistics informatization and networking are the core of modern logistics development. Logistics informatization can not only effectively speed up logistics, save logistics costs and improve the modernization level of logistics operation and management, but also make logistics truly adapt to the needs of today's e-commerce activities. Obviously, enterprise logistics also needs to speed up the transformation and upgrading of informatization, so that informatization will become the direction of modern logistics. ;
