Problems and Countermeasures of Logistics Management in Colleges and Universities

Introduction: Logistics management in colleges and universities is an important part of the whole management system of colleges and universities in China. The logistics management system of colleges and universities uses management policies, skills and means to closely link all the work of colleges and universities to form an organic whole.

Problems and Countermeasures of Logistics Management in Colleges and Universities I. Problems in Logistics Management in Colleges and Universities

(A) the concept needs to be changed and the system is lax.

The logistics department lacks guarantee system or measures, and the staff of the logistics department have a weak sense of social competition, participation and initiative, which makes the service work relatively backward. The lack of self-promotion in the logistics department directly affects the service effect of logistics in colleges and universities.

(B) the lack of scientific and stable logistics team building, the overall quality of personnel is low

In the era of knowledge economy, higher requirements are put forward for the quality of logistics workers. However, at present, a considerable number of university logistics workers can not meet the above requirements. Although this team can be sufficient in quantity, it can't adapt to the development of logistics today in quality, and its overall comprehensive quality is low, which seriously affects the level of logistics management. Such a logistics team must have unreasonable knowledge structure, professional title structure and age structure.

In terms of knowledge structure, the number of personnel with logistics professional knowledge is very small, and most full-time logistics workers have knowledge aging. Their theoretical level and professional level need to be improved, and there is a serious shortage of compound talents to meet the requirements of today's knowledge economy era. For example, the use of computers has penetrated into all walks of life, and the exchange of logistics work has become increasingly frequent. The compound talents who are proficient in software design and logistics business are rare, and the talents who are proficient in foreign languages in the logistics department are rare. In the structure of professional titles, the proportion of senior professional titles of logistics workers is obviously less than that of other departments, and the proportion is low.

(3) The logistics infrastructure is outdated and the technical means are backward.

Other schools are the forefront of imparting and creating high-tech knowledge and technology, and the teaching and experimental equipment and technical equipment are very advanced. However, the logistics management methods and technical means of colleges and universities mostly stay in the traditional ways and means of manual workshops, which has formed a great gap with the high technology of today's era.

Computer is the necessary and most basic facility to realize modern logistics management. At present, in most colleges and universities, especially some science and engineering colleges, computers have been basically popularized in management, and all departments have used high-grade computers, and some departments even have more than one.

The logistics department is dwarfed in this respect, using low-grade or eliminated microcomputers from other departments. What's more, some logistics departments don't even have a microcomputer. As for multimedia facilities, scanners, recorders, servers and other facilities, it is beyond the power of most logistics departments, which seriously restricts the modernization process of logistics management in colleges and universities. The reason is, on the one hand, the shortage of school funds; On the other hand, leaders pay insufficient attention to logistics work, and unreasonable allocation of funds is also the main reason.

Second, university logistics management countermeasures

(A) to further enhance the service awareness of the logistics department.

Strengthen system management, do a good job in the annual work plan, post responsibility system and assessment scope. Logistics personnel should change the old service mode of sticking to the rules and being content with the status quo, face the market economy and shift the focus of development and utilization to serving economic construction. Change ideas and concepts and change passive service into active service. Establish the important position of logistics.

(B) to promote the modernization of university logistics management

The era of knowledge economy is a highly information-based society. A large number of documents and materials are constantly produced, and the logistics work is also increasing. The traditional paper single logistics carrier form will inevitably lead to the continuous expansion of logistics volume, and the construction of libraries will never stop; At the same time, a series of traditional manual operation processes, such as document filing and paper typesetting, are far from meeting the requirements of the knowledge economy era. Therefore, the logistics work facing the era of knowledge economy must speed up the pace of modernization, take advantage of the situation and connect with modernization. Using information technology to transform traditional logistics work, realize computerization and networking of logistics management, retrieval and utilization, and accelerate the construction of logistics information superhighway.

1. Accelerate the application of computer technology in logistics management in colleges and universities.

Use computer technology to carry out daily management of logistics collection, sorting, identification, storage and statistics, and implement integrated management of documents. At the same time, in order to facilitate transmission and network use, it is the basic work of logistics management modernization to establish a logistics information database and give full play to the dense storage and rapid retrieval functions of computers.

2. Accelerate the construction of logistics information network in colleges and universities, and realize logistics information networking.

With its high-speed information transmission, the network reduces the mistakes in decision-making, and at the same time breaks the management principle based on the traditional communication system. Therefore, logistics departments at all levels should strengthen the application of modern technical means such as computer network and new management mode in logistics work, speed up the digitalization and networking of logistics information resources, build a high-performance logistics information network and speed up the modernization of logistics information processing to meet the needs of knowledge economy.

To publish logistics information on the Internet, in order to better provide users with logistics information online services, we should seize the opportunity to step into computer networks such as university campus network, national education and scientific research network and Internet in a planned and step-by-step manner to receive online visitors. This is an effective way to realize the sharing of logistics information resources and an inevitable measure to meet the demand of knowledge economy for logistics information. Raymond. Harder pointed out in his digital business:? The development of global computer network will be a decisive factor in shaping life on this planet. ? Therefore, it is urgent to establish a logistics network system as soon as possible.

3. Further strengthen the standardization of logistics in colleges and universities.

Standardization is the premise and foundation of modernization. The computerized intelligent and networked management of logistics information first requires the standardization and normalization of logistics information processing. However, as far as the present situation of logistics departments in colleges and universities is concerned, standardization is not enough. For example, although there are national standards for logistics statistics, description and index, many logistics departments have not implemented them in accordance with the standards in the specific operation process.

There is still a lack of unified standards in computer database setting, logistics information carrier format and conversion standards, computer software and hardware equipment and other modern technologies and equipment, and the computer software systems developed and purchased by the logistics department of colleges and universities have different forms and are difficult to be compatible. To this end, it is necessary to further strengthen standardization construction. If there are national standards, they must be implemented. If there is a lack of national standards, we can first formulate a unified standard for coordination between regions or industries, so that all logistics departments can establish logistics information resource databases according to the standards, standardize the processing of logistics data according to the standards, and realize online networking and logistics information resource sharing.

(C) through various channels to improve the quality of college logistics workers

The professional quality requirements of logistics workers are higher and higher. If logistics workers do not break the old concept of one-time education, it will be difficult to meet the needs of logistics work. In the era of knowledge economy, the speed of knowledge renewal and innovation is faster, which makes the traditional knowledge structure far from meeting the requirements of modern work skills and service level.

Therefore, it is a very realistic and important issue to seriously explore and study the continuing education of logistics workers in the era of knowledge economy. Continuing education is a high starting point, non-academic and non-basic educational form, a special field of logistics education, a continuation and perfection of logistics academic education, and a basic condition for logistics workers to form creativity and achieve creative success. It is an effective measure for logistics workers to realize intelligent renewal and reorganization and maintain and develop their creativity. It can make up for the lack of academic education and increase and broaden the knowledge and creativity of logistics workers.

Therefore, in order to cultivate high-quality logistics talents, we must strengthen the lifelong education of continuing education, so that logistics workers can constantly accept new knowledge, new information and new technology and improve their comprehensive quality.
