What does LTL storage mean?

Question 1: What do LTL stowage and information stowage mean respectively? What's the difference between them? Investigation report on the present situation of logistics industry in XX county I. The present situation of logistics industry in XX county: 1. General situation: According to the annual report of the transportation department, in 2006, the county owned 1375 trucks with a tonnage of 5,770 tons and employees 1700. There are 8 logistics companies with business licenses *** 18, with a business area of 1096 square meters and 92 employees. In that year, the turnover was 29.32 million yuan, the tax paid was 9.6 million yuan, and the profit was 460,000 yuan. According to the survey, 18 logistics enterprise * * * owns 60 delivery vehicles with a tonnage of about 800 tons. Generally speaking, the development of logistics enterprises in our county is still in its infancy, not a real modern logistics industry, but the embryonic form of modern logistics enterprises. 2. Distribution: 18 logistics enterprises, 13 are located in Longyou Town, the other 5 are 2 in Huzhen Town, and 1 is located in Xikou, Hengshan and Zhanjia Town. Among them, Longyou Town 13 stores are also scattered, the distribution vehicles are parked in disorder, and the parking lot is not enough, while most other business vehicles are parked next to the trading city. 3. Business items: mostly freight forwarding, combined transport consignment, information stowage and cargo stowage, with low degree of modernization, imperfect supporting facilities and single function. The business combines LTL express and vehicle distribution. Most enterprises mainly focus on vehicle distribution, but at present, vehicle distribution is less than one third, and the freight volume is not large. 4. Application of information technology: 18 Except for one or two logistics enterprises, the rest can use computer information service platforms such as Quzhou Logistics Information Center to publish information. 5. Functional matching: 18 Only two logistics enterprises can provide warehousing services, and the area is small, with a total area of less than 200 square meters, and only a small amount of goods can be stored, which does not have real warehousing functions. Second, there are problems 1, lack of planning, and unreasonable overall layout: logistics enterprises must be close to one area and three blocks in layout if they want to develop into third-party logistics enterprises that provide vehicle distribution for industrial and commercial enterprises. At present, most logistics enterprises in our county are located in urban areas, with scattered layout and a certain distance from industrial blocks, which causes inconvenient transportation and rising enterprise costs. At the same time, due to the limited area of logistics enterprises in the city, the parking lot is insufficient, and the phenomenon of disorderly parking and misplacing of vehicles is serious, which also brings certain traffic hidden dangers. 2. Poor management: In terms of product circulation, in 2006, the industrial enterprises in our county 1, 8 1, the total output value was 6196 million yuan, and the inventory of finished products was 686 million yuan, that is, about 5.5 billion yuan was sold in the whole year, of which transportation expenses accounted for a considerable proportion. In 2006, the turnover of logistics enterprises in our county was only 2.5 billion yuan. As far as logistics organization is concerned, China's logistics industry is mostly the first party logistics or the second party logistics. In some enterprises, the procurement, transportation, storage, processing and sales of goods are undertaken by themselves, which leads to a small amount of outsourcing business. Judging from the transportation capacity, there are *** 1357 trucks in operation in our county, with a total tonnage of 5770. However, the overall outsourcing freight volume of enterprises in our county is small, and the import and export goods are less, resulting in the phenomenon of "more cars and less goods". In addition, there is no unified price standard, which leads to mutual price reduction, and ultimately leads to the decline of profits of the entire transportation industry and logistics enterprises. According to the survey, in 2006, the profits of logistics enterprises also declined. 3. Lack of policy support: Our county's logistics industry is still in the development stage, and it is in urgent need of certain policy inclination and support, such as tax policy and land use policy, but at present, our county's policies in this regard have not been put in place. 4. Lack of logistics talents: Our county's professional logistics talents are still blank. At present, the employees engaged in logistics enterprises in our county are basically junior high school and senior high school graduates, with low quality and little understanding of modern logistics technology and equipment. 3. Future development ideas and countermeasures: Take Scientific Outlook on Development as the guide, take modern logistics concept as the guide, take market demand as the guide, take information network technology as the support, take reducing logistics cost and improving logistics efficiency as the core, accelerate the cultivation of logistics market, vigorously develop third-party logistics enterprises, continuously improve the modernization level of logistics facilities, strive to build a socialized, professional, informational, large-scale and standardized modern logistics service system, and gradually build a regional logistics center in southwest Zhejiang and an important node in the Yangtze River Delta logistics system. Countermeasures for the next step: Countermeasures 1: Strengthen planning, so that logistics enterprises in our county can aim at "one area and three blocks", build nearby, and rely on a large number of import and export goods of industrial enterprises to develop and grow. This will not only bring convenient and fast service to the enterprises in the development zone, but also reduce the circulation cost and realize a win-win situation for industrial enterprises and logistics enterprises. In addition, for improving the county ... >; & gt

Question 2: What do LTL, 3PL and 4PL mean respectively? What is LTL transportation?

1, the so-called less-than-truckload goods means that the weight or volume of the goods consigned by a cargo waybill (a batch) is not enough for one vehicle (that is, it is not enough for the transportation of the whole vehicle).

2. When the weight or volume of a batch of goods is smaller than that of a truck, one truck can be used to transport other batches or even hundreds of batches of goods. This kind of transportation is called LTL transportation.

3. LTL consignment regulations: In order to facilitate loading and storage, each batch of LTL goods shall not exceed 300 pieces, and the minimum volume of each LTL goods shall not be less than 0.02 cubic meters (except for single pieces weighing more than 10 kg).

4. Less-than-carload consignment is not accepted for the following goods:

(1) Goods that need to be refrigerated, insulated or heated for transportation;

(2) Dangerous goods limited to whole vehicles;

(3) Contaminants (such as bones, wet fur, feces, carbon black, etc.) that easily pollute other goods. (a) without disinfection or sealed packaging;

(4) bees;

(5) Goods that are difficult to calculate;

(6) live animals that are not loaded into containers (except those that can be loaded into pipes for transportation according to the provisions of the Railway Bureau);

(7) Goods with a weight of more than 2 tons, a volume of more than 3 cubic meters or a length of more than 9 meters (except for the loading and unloading operations at the transfer station and the arrival station confirmed by the originating station).

5, in the special line or special railway to organize direct package LTL transportation, with the consent of the railway sub-bureau, the station and the shipper should negotiate and sign an agreement; If the organization transfers LTL, it should be approved by the Railway Bureau.

Respondents: Deep Throat 5 180- Manager Level 5 1-2 1 20: 14.

First, what is the third party logistics

The so-called third-party logistics refers to a logistics management mode in which production and operation enterprises entrust their logistics activities to professional logistics service enterprises through contracts in order to concentrate their main business, and at the same time keep close contact with logistics enterprises through information systems, so as to realize the control of the whole process of logistics management.

The third party logistics, expressed in English as 3PL or TPL, is relative to the consignor of Party A and the consignee of Party B.. Third-party logistics does not belong to Party A or Party B, but provides its professional logistics services through cooperation with Party A or Party B.. It does not own goods or participate in the sales of goods, but provides customers with serialized, personalized and information-based logistics agency services based on contracts and alliances. The most common third-party logistics services include designing logistics system, EDI function, report management, cargo integration, carrier selection, freight forwarder, customs declaration agent, information management, warehousing, consulting, freight payment and freight negotiation. Because the service mode of the industry is generally to sign logistics service contracts with enterprises for a certain period of time, some people call third-party logistics "contract logistics". ⑤

The internal composition of third-party logistics can generally be divided into two categories: asset suppliers and non-asset suppliers. For asset suppliers, they have their own means of transportation and warehouses, and they usually carry out logistics operations. Non-asset-based suppliers are management companies and do not own or lease assets. They provide human resources and advanced logistics management system, and specialize in managing customers' logistics functions. Generalized third-party logistics can be defined as the combination of the two. Therefore, the strict management of warehousing, transportation and other logistics links, as well as a large number of logistics talents with professional knowledge, enable it to effectively operate the entire logistics system. Therefore, the third party logistics is also called "logistics alliance".

Second, the legal definition of third-party logistics

Literally, third-party logistics refers to a form of logistics in which professional enterprises other than consignors and consignees related to goods, that is, third parties, undertake enterprise logistics activities. In the relevant professional works, the third-party logistics provider is defined as "an enterprise that determines the return through the contract and undertakes all or part of the logistics activities of the owner's enterprise." The services provided can be divided into three types: operation-related services, management-related services and both. Either way, it must be higher than the services provided by general carriers and contract carriers in the past.

Where do the profits of third-party logistics enterprises come from? Essentially, it comes from the new value generated by the popularization of modern logistics management science, which is also the source of the third profit we often say. The third party logistics is in the position of the owner ... >>

Question 3: The operation mode of warehousing is 10 point. Under the premise of continuously satisfying customers' needs, manufacturers are faced with the supply mode of small batch, multi-frequency, short cycle and multi-variety, so logistics plays an increasingly important role. According to statistics, logistics cost accounts for 30% of sales cost, which has become the "third profit source" that enterprises can't ignore. The problem faced by entrepreneurs is how to ensure customer service and reduce logistics costs. Warehouse operation has become an important part of logistics management because it involves the rapid response of inventory cost and customer demand and affects transportation cost to some extent. The cross-platform management mode described in this paper is a strategic warehouse management mode that can effectively control logistics costs on the basis of ensuring customer service quality. It accelerates the flow of goods in the warehouse and realizes the management goal of zero inventory.

What is cross-platform?

Cross platform is translated from English cross docking. When a supplier's goods need to be transported to multiple destinations after warehousing, and there are multiple suppliers to supply them, the cross-platform operation mode is to unload the goods delivered by the suppliers from the unloading platform, deliver them effectively and timely according to different destinations, and transport them directly to the loading platform to reduce the storage time of the goods in the warehouse. In this mode, goods will not exist in the form of inventory. In a large-flow warehouse, the better the cross-platform strategy is implemented, the shorter the processing time of goods will be, and the fewer bottlenecks will appear. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good information management system to realize smooth receiving, processing, loading and shipping. In other words, effective cross-platform operation is based on perfect information flow. At present, the cross-platform operation mode has been widely and successfully applied in many industries.

FedEx, UPS and other courier companies are all based on cross-platform operation mode. They classify the consigned packages that need to be handled, and choose vehicles with different delivery directions on the loading platform according to different destinations. Another successful example is the retail giant Wal-Mart. All of its DC (distribution centers) adopt a cross-platform operation mode: suppliers' materials are transported to DC in the form of vehicles, and are scattered into cars transported to different shopping malls according to the order requirements of each shopping mall. Because there is no inventory, cross-platform to achieve the purpose of reducing inventory costs; The benefit of realizing transportation cost is realized by realizing "vehicle transportation".

Cross-platform basic operation mode

To understand the cross-platform operation mode more clearly, we must understand its origin. Cross-platform originated from the operation mode of shipping and railway. Take shipping as an example. On the dock, big ships unload the goods onto small boats or barges, and then send them to different directions for more economical transportation. This mode can be popularized in railway transportation.

Let's look at the transfer center of the railway. Trains coming from all over the world are unloaded to the transshipment center, and the porters regroup according to the destinations marked on the cargo labels, arrange the delivery order according to the train schedule, and then load the trains heading for different directions on the same day, so as to timely divert the goods. In the whole operation process, there will be registration and handover of certificates for easy inquiry.

Therefore, to sum up, the cross-platform features in railway operation are as follows:

1.*** Enjoy material resources

2. Follow the schedule.

3. No stock

4. Tracking and inquiry of goods

In commodity classification, there are two cross-platform processing methods: one is to classify according to different commodities; The other is to classify according to different destinations. The method of distributing goods by product means that the goods of the same variety are processed by bar code in the country of origin. The distribution center will receive many different kinds of goods on the same day. After scanning the barcode, the staff will reassemble the transportation according to the order demand of the destination. This kind of processing mostly exists in difficult situations such as tight starting time and limited operating space.

Classification by destination means that different kinds of goods are combined by destination at the origin, one destination uses a bar code, and one car can ship goods from multiple destinations. This situation makes the distribution work in the distribution center much simpler.

It is the goal of cross-platform operation to speed up the handling of goods and integrate them into vehicle transportation. Through the network structure of warehousing, we can deeply understand cross-platform ... >; & gt
