1、Systematization refers to the use of systematic thinking in the logistics planning and design process, linking various links involved (each link may be very complex and massive), and analyzing, designing, and implementing them from a systematic perspective.
2、Logistics is a part of the supply chain, and cost optimization is one of the goals of supply chain optimization. Logistics costs occupy the largest and most optimized space in the supply chain. However, cost optimization does not refer to the work of a single link or process, but requires comprehensive consideration and consideration of trade-offs to minimize the total cost.
3、The flow of goods involves upstream and downstream enterprises, and timely transmission of information is very important. It is necessary to use information technology to build a highly available system, ensuring the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of information, which can effectively reduce costs and improve production efficiency.
4、Modernization refers to the application of various modern equipment and management methods to improve response speed, enhance logistics efficiency, and ensure production safety.
5、Although logistics refers to the physical movement of goods, it relies on many factors such as policies, environment, infrastructure (such as highways, railways, etc.), and is a social activity that requires comprehensive synchronous and coordinated development.
6、Specialization refers to the specialization of service functions and service objects required by modern logistics, and the participating enterprises and personnel should have professional knowledge and awareness.
7、Electronicization refers to the use of information technology systems and related software and hardware to improve the speed of information transmission, replacing some traditional working methods such as barcodes, RFID, GIS, GPS, electronic scales, electronic documents, online approval, etc., thereby improving overall efficiency.
8、"Time requirements" run through the entire supply chain, and logistics also have very high time requirements. It not only refers to timely delivery of physical goods to the demand side, but also includes feedback on various information from the beginning of the transaction, such as timely issuance of orders, timely feedback on the production process in the warehouse, nodes where the goods are located during transportation, and display of expected completion time. These are all areas of rapid response.
