Case study of logistics: multimodal transport of molten iron and Yangzhou logistics

"Have wisdom, confidence and a future." 165438+1On the afternoon of October 29th, at the 2008 China Yangzhou Modern Logistics Development Summit Forum hosted by the municipal government, Wang Daming, director of the Shanghai Northwest Comprehensive Logistics Park Promotion Office, commented on the Yangzhou public-iron-water intermodal logistics cluster, and used these nine words to describe the planning, positioning and project start-up of the cluster.

At present, the impact of the financial tsunami is being transmitted from the financial sector to the real economy. The financial crisis in the United States quickly spread to other countries, causing a chain reaction, leading to a decline in global consumption and also having a certain impact on China's exports. The first is that the development of the circulation industry is blocked. This summit forum was held in a critical period in our city, so it is particularly eye-catching.

"It is better to light candles and light the way forward than to curse the darkness." This is a wise move for Yangzhou to develop modern logistics industry pointed out by experts and insiders.

Hot metal combined transport is a rare multimodal transport mode in China.

The Canal and the Yangtze River, the Ningqi Railway and the soon-to-be-completed Huaiyang Town Railway, and the three major node cities of Beijing-Shanghai, Tong Ning and Jiang Yan Expressway make Yangzhou's location advantages manifest. At the forum, Professor Zhu Daoli, Dean of Shanghai Logistics Research Institute of Fudan University, praised the logistics mode of Yangzhou public-iron-water combined transport, saying that it is rare in China.

Wang Daming, director of the promotion office of Shanghai Northwest Integrated Logistics Park, said that the financial crisis has brought challenges to enterprises, with rising costs and shortage of funds. What should we do? Small and medium-sized enterprises must think about how to reduce costs, especially circulation costs. Yangzhou has unparalleled water transportation conditions, and the combined transportation of public and rail can effectively minimize the transportation cost. This is the condition for Yangzhou to develop multimodal transport.

"Volkswagen Hot Metal Gathering Area" is one of the three major logistics bases built by the municipal government during the 11th Five-Year Plan period. It is a comprehensive logistics park integrating the advantages of highway, railway and waterway multimodal transport in Yangzhou, with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the east and Yangzhou inland port in the north.

The relevant person in charge of Yangzhou public-iron-water combined transport logistics cluster said that Yangzhou is an important manufacturing base and production materials trading market in the Yangtze River Delta region. Giving full play to the advantages of rapid transportation in the cluster will help our city's manufacturing industry and modern service industry truly overlap, highlight the low-cost effect and improve regional competitiveness.

According to informed sources, by 20 12, the planned total industrial output value of our city will reach 1 trillion yuan. The doubling of the total industrial output will lead to a strong rebound in the logistics industry. By the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, the logistics cluster will have a comprehensive transportation volume of100000 tons and a total social logistics volume of1000 billion yuan.

The financial crisis has created great opportunities for multimodal transport gathering areas.

"Under the condition of global economic integration, no one can be immune from the financial crisis. This kind of influence cannot be solved in the short term. Enterprises in China should have long-term countermeasures and be fully prepared. " Dai, vice president of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, said that the crisis has brought the most important impact on logistics: first, the output value of logistics has shrunk, and second, reducing costs has brought trouble.

"Looking for opportunities in the crisis, opportunities are everywhere." Wang Daming said that due to the fierce competition of enterprise products in the market, the demand of enterprises in improving operating efficiency, maintaining and improving competitiveness will increase. The introduction of logistics and supply chain management technology will reduce enterprise inventory, accelerate enterprise cash turnover and improve capital profit rate, which is a good opportunity for the development of logistics enterprises. He suggested that Yangzhou should make full use of the country's current policy of expanding investment to stimulate domestic demand, jump out of Yangzhou to see Yangzhou and logistics, give full play to the demonstration effect of modern logistics nodes in the Yangtze River Delta and national multimodal transport, operate from a high starting point, and make full use of public rail and water transport resources. In short, four words: scientific planning, reasonable system, project support, and building regional brands.

In the past, there was an upsurge of logistics parks in China, many of which were completely different. Professor Zhu Daoli hit the nail on the head and pointed out that the logistics cluster in Yangzhou combines the characteristics of regional industries and the demand of regional manufacturing industries for supporting services of means of production. It is suggested that the competent authorities should seize the current national policy opportunities and provide corresponding countermeasures and arrangements for enterprises to expand the domestic logistics market. Mainly encourage production enterprises to adopt logistics and supply chain management technology, encourage the use of supply chain to improve core competitiveness, encourage logistics enterprises to cooperate with manufacturing industry, create more demand space for logistics industry and improve the competitiveness of production enterprises.

Promote "urban freight public transport" as soon as possible and popularize information networks.

The logistics network requires extremely high logistics information capture. According to Ping Huang, director of Shanghai Land Freight Trading Center, they set up a nationwide logistics freight information platform-Logistics 135, which released the supply and demand information through the online system and concluded the transaction. The system, like "ears full of body", has created "massive information" for Shanghai Land Exchange Center, with an average daily click volume of 65,438+10,000 times and 8,000 online trading members. Since the beginning of this year, the total transaction information has exceeded 654.38 million.

Ping Huang said that information is the lifeline of logistics operation. Yangzhou is integrating scattered logistics resources, and the functions of docks and ports along the canal overlap, forming the effect of 1+ 1 > 2. It is suggested that Yangzhou should make full use of the advantages of multimodal integrated logistics cluster and the third pilot city of informatization in China, and make full use of the modern logistics e-commerce platform of Shanghai Land Freight Trading Center to build an online logistics trading center as soon as possible, implement "urban freight public transport" and pave the information network as soon as possible.

The day before yesterday, our city signed a strategic cooperative relationship with the Hong Kong Logistics Chamber of Commerce. Huang Ji, executive vice president of Hong Kong Logistics Chamber of Commerce, said: Our cooperation with Yangzhou has won. Yangzhou is the first branch of the Hong Kong Logistics Chamber of Commerce in the Mainland. We took a fancy to the unique logistics conditions of Yangzhou's combined transportation of public iron and water. On the one hand, Yangzhou can be used as a node station to guide Hong Kong's logistics industry into the mainland. On the other hand, we will also help Yangzhou to collect information from the two places, so as to make the "touch" and "hearing" of Yangzhou logistics more sensitive. Only in this way can we achieve market prosperity together. Now it seems that the first thing is to help Yangzhou build a logistics information network platform and lay a good foundation for digging an "information pool".
