Modern logistics information management With the continuous strengthening of reform and opening up and the increasing attention of the state to the logistics industry, China's logistics enterprises have ushered in a rare opportunity for development. Modern logistics is a comprehensive management discipline integrating modern transportation, information network and marketing planning. In China, due to the lack of long-term attention to the logistics industry, there is an obvious gap between China's logistics industry and western developed countries. How to realize the modern management and information management of China's logistics is a problem faced by logistics enterprises. This paper mainly discusses the information management of modern logistics from three aspects: the present situation of logistics enterprises in China, the characteristics of modern logistics in the information network era and some suggestions to change the present situation of logistics in China.
1. Status of Logistics Enterprises in China
Compared with some developed countries in the west, the level of socialization and specialization of China's logistics industry is generally low and needs to be continuously improved. Generally speaking, the current situation of China's logistics enterprises is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Logistics costs are higher.
In recent years, with the rise of China's logistics industry, many logistics enterprises have appeared in various regions. However, due to the technical defects of these logistics enterprises, the overall level of logistics enterprises is low and the services provided are too single, which leads to the formation of logistics socialization in China. The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that logistics enterprises are not aware of the concept of logistics, only pay attention to the sales and quality of products in the logistics process, and completely ignore the cost saving of logistics links. Compared with foreign countries, the logistics cost in China is actually not high. However, due to the lack of modern logistics information management, the backlog of some goods in the warehouse is too long, which leads to long logistics time and increased logistics cost. Because China has a lot of cheap labor, many multinational companies have moved their production bases to China. However, in the actual production process, the higher cost in the logistics process almost completely offsets the advantage of cheap labor in China, which seriously restricts multinational companies from moving their production bases to China. How to reduce the logistics cost is the bottleneck of the development of manufacturing industry in China.
Low degree of networking
On the one hand, in our country, most logistics enterprises do not exchange information or share logistics information resources, but are still in the? A family? Closed operation mode. This closed operation mode seriously hinders the information exchange between logistics enterprises, makes the network platform of logistics industry impossible to realize, and greatly hinders the development of logistics industry in China. On the other hand, the information platform between manufacturers, retailers and customers in China is not perfect, which leads to the long logistics time and the inability to circulate products in time, which greatly reduces the efficiency of China's logistics industry.
2. The characteristics of modern logistics in the information network era
Informatization is the foundation of modern logistics. Under the mode of e-commerce, modern logistics effectively transforms capital flow and business flow into information flow, and delivers goods online. The characteristics of modern logistics are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Business globalization: With the rapid development of science and technology, the pace of economic globalization is accelerated, and the business scope of logistics enterprises tends to be global.
System networking: the era of e-commerce has arrived, and the logistics industry has also been affected by e-commerce. The networking of logistics industry system realizes the connection among suppliers, manufacturers and customers.
Simplification of supply chain: Market competition is mainly the competition between enterprise supply chains. In the development of modern logistics in the information network era, the supply chain between enterprises can be simplified, which greatly improves the efficiency of logistics enterprises.
Enterprise scale: China's logistics enterprises are generally small and medium-sized enterprises, lacking logistics technology and experience. Through modern logistics management, enterprises exchange information and technology, choose partners according to win-win strategy, realize the alliance among logistics enterprises, and expand the scale of logistics enterprises in China.
Service integration: strengthening service is an important direction for the future development of logistics industry. With the continuous development of information logistics management, the relationship between suppliers, manufacturers and customers will become closer and closer, and services will tend to be integrated.
3. Some suggestions to change the current situation of logistics in China.
Establish the management concept of modern logistics
Compared with some western developed countries, China's logistics industry still has a big gap. In order to realize the information management of modern logistics in China, we must actively introduce foreign advanced technology and experience and strengthen the international experience exchange of logistics industry. So our country's? A family? Fundamentally solved the closed operation mode, greatly enhanced the market competition awareness of China's logistics enterprises, and continuously improved China's logistics industry.
Strengthen the content of scientific and technological knowledge and cultivate new core competitiveness
In recent years, with the application of network and automation technology in logistics industry, the technological modernization of logistics has become more and more important. After the application of network, logistics enterprises not only make the contact between transactions, internal management and customers more and more networked, but also greatly improve the degree of intensification and organization of enterprises, laying a solid foundation for the standardized operation of logistics enterprises. In the process of logistics operation, enterprises can greatly shorten the logistics operation time after applying the network and gain great advantages in the fierce market competition.
Logistics enterprises should apply corresponding networks according to their own characteristics and actual conditions. So as to achieve low cost, high efficiency, information exchange between enterprises and intensive logistics functions, and narrow the gap between China and developed countries.
Strengthen the training of logistics talents and establish a corporate culture with innovative mechanism.
In the process of the transformation from state-owned logistics enterprises to modern logistics enterprises, the professional skills of logistics talents directly affect the success or failure of the transformation. Therefore, logistics enterprises should strengthen the training of logistics professionals. In the process of training, we should not only attach importance to the theoretical knowledge training of logistics personnel, but also strengthen the practical ability training of logistics personnel. Let them fully understand every logistics link. In the process of cultivating logistics talents, we should also strengthen their innovative ability. If an enterprise has no innovation ability, it will soon be eliminated by the times. Enterprise managers should increase logistics service innovation and knowledge innovation, and improve logistics management technology through knowledge innovation. In terms of service innovation, innovation can better provide customer service and better ensure that state-owned logistics enterprises stand out in the fierce market competition.
Adapt to the development trend of the new era and establish a new concept of modern management.
With the continuous development of China's economy, the economic ties between China and the world are getting closer and closer. Therefore, enterprises should expand logistics-related technologies and businesses in the course of operation. At the same time, the continuous updating of logistics knowledge and technology has also improved the specialization of logistics business and technology, and the specialization of management has also been improved.
The realization of specialization requires a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources, and the most important thing in the process of realizing management specialization is the long-term accumulation of knowledge and experience of logistics personnel. Non-core business specialization is the division of specialized business fields on the basis of knowledge economy and information society, and it is the development trend of enterprise logistics management modernization.
4. Conclusion
In short, with China's accession to the World Trade Organization, its economic ties with the world are getting closer and closer. With the continuous improvement of China's logistics management-related laws and regulations and the continuous development of new technologies, modern logistics has appeared in various enterprises with an advanced management concept and organizational model, becoming the main force for enterprises to reduce costs and improve production efficiency. Now all countries attach great importance to the development of modern logistics management, and China should constantly improve its logistics management system in line with the development trend of modern logistics, so as to enhance China's economic competitiveness in the world. I believe that in the near future, the logistics industry in China will advance by leaps and bounds and realize modern logistics management.
