Is logistics difficult to learn?

Logistics Management refers to planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, controlling and supervising logistics activities in the production process of society according to the laws of the physical flow of material data, so as to achieve the best coordination and cooperation among various logistics activities, so as to reduce. Modern logistics management is based on system theory, information theory and cybernetics.

the concept of logistics

explanation 1:

logistics refers to the whole process of planning, implementing and managing raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and related information from the place of origin of goods to the place of consumption of goods at the lowest cost.

logistics composition: transportation, distribution, warehousing, packaging, handling, distribution processing and related logistics information.

the specific contents of logistics activities include the following aspects: customer service, demand forecasting, order processing, distribution, inventory control, transportation, warehouse management, layout and location of factories and warehouses, handling, procurement, packaging and intelligence information.

Explanation 2:

In the definition of China's national standard "Logistics Terminology", it is pointed out that logistics is "the physical flow process of goods from the place of supply to the place of receiving, which organically combines the basic functions of transportation, storage, loading and unloading, handling, packaging, distribution processing, distribution and information processing according to actual needs."

explanation 3:

the "thing" in logistics is the part of material data that has the characteristics of material entity and can be physically displaced. "Flow" is a physical movement, which has its limited meaning, that is, a physical movement relative to the earth with the earth as the reference system, which is called "displacement". The range of flow can be a large range of geography, and it can also be a micro-movement and a small range of displacement in the same region and environment. The combination of "thing" and "flow" is an advanced form of movement based on natural movement. Their mutual connection is to find the law of movement between economic purposes and physical objects, between military purposes and physical objects, and even between certain social purposes and physical objects. Therefore, logistics is not only a combination of "thing" and "flow" under the above-mentioned limited conditions, but more importantly, it is a combination limited to military, economic and social conditions, and it is to observe the transportation of things from the military, economic and social perspectives to meet certain military, economic and social requirements.

explanation 4:

stream: in the chemical production process, materials that need to undergo chemical or physical changes often participate in the production process in gaseous or liquid state and are transported by pipeline, so the raw materials, intermediate products and products that participate in the process are called logistics. Solid materials that are continuously added or discharged during continuous operation can also be called logistics.

Logistics management has four main characteristics

(1) To achieve customer satisfaction as the first goal;

(2) aiming at the overall optimization of the enterprise;

(3) information-centered;

(4) efficiency is more important.

[Edit this paragraph] The purpose of implementing logistics management

The purpose of implementing logistics management is to achieve the established customer service level at the lowest possible total cost, that is, to seek a dynamic balance between service advantages and cost advantages, and thus create strategic advantages for enterprises in the competition. According to this goal, the basic problem to be solved in logistics management, in short, is to provide the right products to customers at the right time and place with the right quantity and price.

Logistics management emphasizes the use of systematic methods to solve problems. Modern logistics is usually considered to be composed of transportation, storage, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution processing, distribution and information. Each link originally has its own functions, interests and concepts. The systematic method is to make use of modern management science and modern technology to make all links enjoy the overall information and organize and manage all links as an integrated system, so that the system can provide competitive customer service at the lowest possible total cost. According to the system method, the benefits of systems are not simply the sum of the benefits of their local links. Systematic method means that all the influencing factors should be analyzed and evaluated for a certain problem. Starting from this idea, the logistics system does not simply pursue the lowest cost in each link, because there is a tendency of mutual influence and restriction between the benefits of each link of logistics, and there is an alternating fragile relationship. For example, overemphasizing the saving of packaging materials may lead to the increase of transportation and loading and unloading costs because of its easy breakage. Therefore, the systematic method emphasizes the analysis of total cost and the analysis of avoiding the application of suboptimal effect and cost balance, so as to achieve the lowest total cost and meet the established customer service level.

[Edit this paragraph] The development of logistics management

The development of logistics management has experienced three levels: distribution management, logistics management and supply chain management. Logistics management originated from the storage and transportation mode and technology developed by troop transportation Institute of Materials and Equipment in World War II. After the war, these technologies were widely used in industry, which greatly improved the operating efficiency of enterprises and won more customers for enterprises. At that time, the logistics management was mainly aimed at the distribution part of the enterprise, that is, how to quickly and efficiently deliver the products to customers through the distribution center after the finished products were produced, and maintain the lowest inventory as much as possible. The American Logistics Management Association was then called the Physical Distribution Management Association, while the Canadian Supply Chain and Logistics Management Association was called the Canadian Physical Distribution Management Association. At this primary stage, logistics management only passively caters to customers' needs after a given number of finished products are produced, transports the products to the places designated by customers, optimizes the use of resources in the transportation field, and reasonably sets the inventory of each distribution center. Accurately speaking, logistics management did not really appear at this stage, and there were only transportation management, warehousing management and inventory management. The position of logistics manager did not exist at that time, but only transportation manager or warehouse manager.

logistics management in the modern sense appeared in the 198s. It is found that it is very effective to observe, analyze and solve the problems in enterprise management by using cross-functional process management. By analyzing the whole circulation process of materials from raw materials to factories, flowing through each workstation on the production line, producing finished products, then transporting them to distribution centers and finally delivering them to customers, enterprises can eliminate many local optimization behaviors that seem to be efficient but actually reduce the overall efficiency. Because every functional department wants to use its production capacity as much as possible, leaving no surplus, once the demand increases, it will become a bottleneck everywhere, leading to the interruption of the whole process. For example, the Ministry of Transport, as an independent functional department, always tries to reduce its transportation cost, but if it delivers an order that must be accelerated by sea instead of air, it will save the freight, but lose customers and lead to the overall failure. Therefore, the traditional vertical function management is no longer suitable for modern large-scale industrial production, while the horizontal logistics management can comprehensively manage different functions in each process to achieve the overall optimal synergy.

at this stage, the scope of logistics management extends to demand forecasting, procurement, production planning, inventory management, distribution and customer service except transportation, so as to systematically manage the operation of enterprises and maximize the overall benefits. The book Goal written by Godrat is popular in the global manufacturing industry, and its essence is to manage production from the perspective of production process. Accordingly, the American Physical Distribution Management Association was renamed the American Logistics Management Association in the mid-198s, while the Canadian Physical Distribution Management Association was renamed the Canadian Logistics Management Association in 1992.

modern logistics: modern logistics not only considers the distribution of goods from producers to consumers, but also considers the procurement of raw materials from suppliers to producers, as well as the transportation, storage and information of producers themselves in the process of product manufacturing, so as to comprehensively and comprehensively improve economic benefits and efficiency. Therefore, modern logistics is a strategic measure to meet the needs of consumers and unify the market conditions such as manufacturing, transportation and sales. Compared with the concept that traditional logistics only regards it as "logistics support system" and "serving as a bridge in sales activities", it has a further meaning in depth and breadth.

in a typical manufacturing enterprise, the demand forecasting, raw material procurement and transportation are usually called forward logistics, the circulation of raw materials between processes in the factory is called production logistics, and the distribution and customer service are called outward logistics. The key of logistics management is to systematically manage the whole process from raw materials, work-in-process to finished products, so as to ensure the smooth purchase, transportation, processing, transportation and delivery of materials to customers under the lowest inventory conditions. For the shareholders of enterprises with efficient logistics management, this means making the biggest business with the least capital and generating the biggest return on investment.

[Edit this paragraph] The content of logistics management

The content of logistics management includes three aspects: the management of various elements of logistics activities, including transportation and storage; The management of the elements of the logistics system, that is, the management of six elements, such as people, money, goods, equipment, methods and information; The management of specific functions in logistics activities mainly includes the management of logistics planning, quality, technology and economy.

Logistics management science is a new discipline that has risen abroad in recent twenty years, and it is a new important branch of management science. With the improvement of production technology and management technology, the competition among enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce. People gradually find that the competition among enterprises in reducing production costs seems to have come to an end, and the quality of products is only a stepping stone for an enterprise to enter the market and participate in the competition. At this time, the focus of competition began to shift from the production field to the non-production field, and turned to those scattered and isolated areas that were regarded as auxiliary links and ignored, such as transportation, storage, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution processing and other logistics activities. People began to study how to reduce logistics costs, improve service quality and create the "third profit source" in these areas. Since then, logistics management has changed from the traditional life of enterprises
