What is logistics?
Logistics is a very broad concept. From an economic point of view, logistics is the obstacle to time and space. For example, in Beijing, the people who must use the world can be used, and they need to send out in the shortest time, the lowest cost; wheat, rice, etc., the wheat, rice, etc., to ensure the supply of the people in the four seasons, Just require logistics to solve its warehousing, distribution and other issues. From the perspective of management, logistics is managing and controlling the above product supply chains.
Modern logistics (also known as third-party logistics) concept is relative to traditional logistics, it is based on traditional logistics, introducing high-tech tools, such as information networking through computer, scientific management of logistics information, thus making logistics The means is diversified, the logistics speed is accelerated, accurate rate, reduce stock, reduce cost, extend and expand the traditional logistics function. It is based on the supply chain to establish long-term and stable cooperative relationships with enterprises, with the contractual service method, including business negotiations, including inventory, time schedule, quality assurance, information consultation, annual settlement, etc. All will provide good service for corporate planning, management. Logistics contains many industries such as aviation, shipping, e-commerce, distribution, freight forwarding, but its management thoughts is the same, just the way the service is different. As consumer demand continues to develop, small batch, multi-batch logistics distribution to meet the needs of the market.
Why suddenly rise
Logistics has always been closely linked to our lives. For example, a product is procurement, processing, packaging, sales, and consumers in the hands of the raw materials. It is only necessary to manage a single point, but it is not considered for a single point. From transportation costs, if the sales outlet, the lower it, the lower the cost of setting up the outlet. With the fierce market competition, it is necessary to reduce the cost of transportation with internationalization.
From 2000 to 2001, a famous survival experiment has been held. That is to let several young volunteers, they are still in a closed room, only one bed and a computer that can be internetrated, each person has 5,000 yuan, see who can live. After 72 hours, the money in these hands spent 72, they purchased a lot of things through the Internet, and the food eaten was basically sent, but the other supplies purchased almost did not in place, this experiment makes people I really realized that my country's logistics system is still not developed. With the rapid development of the Internet and e-commerce, the impact of logistics on China's economy is increasingly high.
Development trend of industry
In the future, the logistics industry will develop in the following directions:
Incorporation of informationization, the reason why the logistics is not attached, mainly the level of informationization is not high, and the modern information level is not enough to control the entire system, but it is much more likely to be more than the Internet. The development of technology.
Modernization is mainly related to logistics related supporting facilities, as a support of logistics technology, the development of logistics industries will have modern equipment.
High efficiency, low cost, rationalization is also the transportation product, the transport method taken, the cost gap is also very large, the efficiency of transportation is also different, and it is necessary to consider whether it is suitable for the domestic market.
Globalization With the world economy, the product will flow around the world. At the same time, international joints and mergers and acquisitions in various industries in the world will also drive international logistics industry to accelerate the development of globalization. Through the advantages of the Internet, the global logistics information is accurately and accurate, mobilize the logistics outlets of the world, constructing the global integration of the company, saving time and cost, compressing the airborne rate to the lowest, for the owner provide excellent service.
Logistics greening can also be said to be recycled. Although logistics has promoted economic development, the development of logistics will also have a negative impact on urban environments. Logistics greening mainly includes two aspects, and the control of logistics system pollution is controlled, that is, the planning and decision of logistics system and logistics activities uses small-to-environmental pollution, such as truck models with small pollution volume, close range Delivery, night delivery (to reduce traffic blocking, saving fuel, reducing emissions and weakening), etc .; on the other hand, the logistics system for establishing industrial and living waste is established, forming a benign circulation of the entire logistics supply chain.
Three logistics talents are the most shortage
The flourishing potential of the logistics industry will affect the market of talents. From the perspective of talent supply, it is mainly divided into colleges and universities to cultivate talents, social schools (including private schools, etc.), this is the supplement to talents. Mainly based on diploma education and various qualification certifications, this is mainly for the standardization of the employee; from the perspective of market demand, the demand for talents in the future is mainly the following three aspects:
Macro management levels, such as government agencies, plan, including corresponding teaching, scientific research, talent training, etc. Talents. That is to say first training teachers can then train students.
Enterprise logistics management talents This is a largest demand in logistics talents, because the company's inclusion is wide, especially the manufacturing industry has a lot of demand for logistics talents. Their main work is to coordinate, manage, and control with logistics companies. Last year, in the job fair held by the Beijing Materials College, there were many dozens of units from the recruitment from large IT companies, manufacturing (automotive manufacturing, home appliance manufacturing, etc., including circulation companies such as supermarkets, while logistics companies There is no family.
Management of logistics companies This is the actual operator of logistics enterprises, including warehousing, transportation, management enterprises, etc. At present, the logistics company, the ability to expand is still relatively weak, so the demand for talents will not be large. In general, the current demand for talents in the logistics industry is mainly reflected in management. It requires practical personnel to have a wide range of people, strong strategic judgment and grasp the ability, and can be keen to discover the changes in the intermediate market. Strong hands-on operation capacity. It is necessary to master the knowledge of bachelor's knowledge, generally more science, because many of the enterprises are supported by science and engineering.
