Fortunately, I entered the logistics department of Shanghai Volkswagen Co., Ltd., but I don't quite understand what I am grateful for. I want to ask you experienced people.

The so-called logistics outsourcing means that production or other enterprises entrust their logistics business to a professional third-party logistics company (L) by contract in order to enhance their core competitiveness. Outsourcing is a long-term, strategic, interpenetrating and mutually beneficial way of business entrustment and contract execution. With the acceleration of global economic integration, the application and development of technology in the field of logistics, the growth of comprehensive multi-channel market demand and the expansion and improvement of service capabilities of logistics service providers, logistics outsourcing as a strategic means is gradually understood, recognized and adopted by enterprises.

Logistics outsourcing is an effective means to improve logistics level and save logistics cost. On the one hand, logistics is the source of the third profit of enterprises; It is an important source for enterprises to reduce costs and obtain higher profits; On the other hand, the optimization and reorganization of logistics process is very important for enterprises to make better use of limited resources and build core competitiveness. By adopting new logistics strategies, such as making full use of the advantages of third-party logistics and adopting the means of network complementarity, we will build a supply chain network organization with upstream and downstream enterprises such as suppliers, distributors and customers, optimize the whole supply chain and build a new overall competitive advantage of enterprises.

1 background of logistics outsourcing

1. 1 Shanghai Volkswagen Co., Ltd. needs

Before the end of 200 1, only Santana B2, 2000 and Passat were produced by SVW. According to the plan, new models such as Polo, Goyle and Touran will be put into production one after another, and the output will be gradually increased from 220,000 to 400,000 within two years. At the same time, the configuration of the original model will be more abundant. Facing the challenges of complex vehicle types and more frequent technical changes, the original logistics technology and system have lagged behind the rapid development of business needs because of their limitations.

1.2 Focus on core business requirements

Outsourcing logistics business to a third-party logistics enterprise can realize the optimal allocation of enterprise resources, reduce the investment in vehicles, warehouses and manpower, concentrate limited manpower and financial resources on core business, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. In addition, we can concentrate high-quality manpower and material resources on the key functions of logistics, that is, to be excellent and refined in production planning, preparation, logistics strategic planning, logistics process and quality control, so as to better meet the needs of production and rapid growth of production.

1.3 the need to reduce costs and improve efficiency

Compared with the original logistics department of SVW, the third-party logistics enterprise service providers are more experienced and professional in organizing enterprise logistics activities. By concentrating the advanced equipment and human resources of logistics service providers and adopting their professional skills and working concepts, a more economical and efficient logistics scheme can be obtained. In addition, the wage level of SVW's own labor force is much higher than the market average, and the imported third-party logistics service providers have significantly saved personnel costs for enterprises by virtue of their professional and market-oriented labor resources.

1.4 It is necessary to improve the logistics level and customer satisfaction.

The involvement of third-party logistics companies has built a trinity of suppliers, service providers and SVW; The new service model and new service relationship will be more conducive to the division and commitment of responsibilities, and the improvement of user satisfaction will become an important indicator to measure the performance of third-party logistics services and the primary symbol to improve the level of logistics.

1.5 need to save investment.

No matter whether the enterprise is in the expansion period or the compression period, most enterprises always have limited funds for investment. Finding a third-party logistics service provider can greatly save the company's capital investment in logistics resources, such as warehousing equipment and online equipment.

1.6 Share risks and improve the flexibility of enterprises.

Through outward resource allocation, the inventory and transportation owned by SVW and suppliers are cancelled, which promotes the optimal combination of resources, increases the flexibility of supply chain and adapts to the changes of external environment.

Based on the above considerations, SVW formally established a logistics outsourcing project team in early 2002, which is responsible for integrating the warehousing logistics of parts into a professional logistics service provider. After careful investigation and analysis, the main scope of logistics outsourcing is formally determined, that is, all logistics, including parts admission, transportation, warehousing and feeding, will be fully integrated outsourcing. After all-round analysis and comparison of logistics scheme and service price, SVW finally chose the well-known L company as its integrated logistics service provider.

L Responsible for planning and controlling the logistics network of SVW, reducing the transportation time and inventory level of spare parts through controlling the demand of spare parts and monitoring transportation, ensuring the optimal path design of timely supply of production materials, and adopting time windows for the collection and delivery of goods; Cooperate with SVW and suppliers equally to improve the logistics supply chain. As the hub of and, through a series of logistics activities in the process of integrating parts ordering plan, picking up goods from suppliers, transportation, transit, pre-assembly, production line supply, sorting and material box recycling. To ensure that all member enterprises can obtain raw materials, spare parts or finished products with suitable quality, quantity and specifications at the right time, and there will be no shortage or backlog, thus ensuring the best logistics solution of SVW. Its performance is regularly assessed by SVW indicators, and the assessment will be directly linked to the salary.

2 warehousing logistics

Warehousing is the temporary storage of products and articles due to pre-purchase or pre-listing in the process of product production and circulation. It is a comprehensive place reflecting the material activities of the factory, a transit station connecting production, supply and efficiency, and plays an important auxiliary role in promoting production and improving efficiency. At the same time, clear and accurate statements, document accounts and accounting departments are needed, so warehousing is the integration of logistics, logistics and document flow.

The original working mode of SVW is as follows: most imported parts are transferred through borrowed warehouses of 10, and the scale and level of warehouses are uneven, and the inventory is in name only; The distribution structure is complex, there is a phenomenon of lighterage between warehouses, the utilization rate of vehicles is low, and there is a lack of integrated storage system. After the logistics outsourcing, the logistics planning department of SVW and L re-planned the warehousing logistics and established a brand-new warehousing logistics model: more than ten warehouses were integrated into a warehousing network with four distribution centers such as IC as the core, which greatly reduced the lightering between warehouses; The fast-forward and fast-out area of parts storage is established, which realizes the rapid turnover of parts and further decline of inventory level, and the storage area is also significantly reduced; By further optimizing the distribution frequency from the warehouse to the factory, the parts are guaranteed to go online in time; The time window is used to control the parts receiving in the warehouse, which alleviates the receiving bottleneck and makes full use of the manpower and equipment resources in the cargo collection area. By adopting standardized empty container flow, empty containers are returned to suppliers in time and accurately, which reduces the loss of containers, and multi-frequency distribution also reduces the overall demand for container investment.
