Understanding of logistics specialty

Logistics is a very broad concept. From the perspective of economics, logistics is to solve the obstacles in time and space. For example, if the products produced in Beijing are to be used by people all over the world, they need to be sent out at the lowest cost in the shortest time; Wheat, rice, etc. If we want to ensure the supply of ordinary people all year round, we need logistics to solve its storage and distribution problems. From the management point of view, logistics is to manage and control the supply chain of the above products.

Compared with traditional logistics, the concept of modern logistics (also known as third-party logistics) introduces high-tech means, such as information networking through computers and scientific management of logistics information, so as to diversify logistics means, speed up logistics, improve accuracy, reduce inventory, reduce costs and extend and expand traditional logistics functions. It is to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with enterprises on the basis of supply chain, and provide enterprises with high-quality services for annual business negotiations, including inventory, time arrangement, quality assurance, information consultation, annual settlement, etc. Logistics includes aviation, shipping, e-commerce, distribution, freight forwarding and many other industries, but the management ideas are the same and the service methods are different. With the diversification and individualization of consumer demand, small-batch and multi-batch logistics distribution can meet the market demand.

Basic situation of employment:

1. At present, logistics can be said to be a relatively popular specialty. In fact, if you pay more attention, you will find that the so-called heat is because of the needs of the country, not because of the needs of the market. Now logistics management is like this. Outsiders think it is a good major, and insiders also think it has a bright future. What they say is not wrong, but "national needs", because the manufacturing industry in China is booming at present, but many links such as transportation, inventory, packaging and processing, inventory, etc. are unwilling to join this ranks because of high cost, low profit and slow capital recovery. In this case, the national policy is the baton. It directly leads to the development of the logistics industry, so employment is not easy. 2. The logistics industry is a hard industry, and there are not many people with real high income.
