Methods to improve the logistics management level of enterprises

This paper teaches you several methods to improve the level of enterprise logistics management, hoping to help you.

(A) strengthen logistics awareness, improve the efficiency of ERP management

Strengthening the leading consciousness of enterprise logistics is the key to the success of logistics management. Otherwise, no matter how perfect and excellent the system solution is. Often mentioned here and in ERP implementation theory? Top projects? Similarly, enterprises need to cultivate leaders' awareness of applying ERP logistics management.

(B) the improvement of logistics technology in ERP system

In view of the backwardness of logistics under ERP, the existing specialized logistics management module in ERP is combined with the principle of process transformation to optimize and reorganize the system. In order to strengthen the logistics management in ERP.

Use several key software technologies to extend the existing ERP system:

Real-time order and decision-making logistics management based on Internet and GIS/GPS technology enhances the function of supply chain management system.

1. The logistics supply chain adopts the logistics management mode of B2B(Brower to Brower) procurement platform. Haier 100% suppliers' orders are obtained online, and more than 80% of Haier's ERP system is paid online, saving suppliers tens of millions of dollars every year.

2. Internet software system belongs to B/S (browser/server) software design architecture, which has many advantages over the old C/S (client/server):

Save investment. Generally, the software under B/S architecture only has the initial one-time investment cost; However, with the expansion of application scope, the software under C/S structure needs constant capital investment. For example, you need to buy more advanced servers or increase the corresponding management personnel.

Simplify the work. Under the B/S structure, installing software on the server can solve the problem. When modifying, just adjust the server side. The software under the C/S structure needs to be installed on the client, and the adjustment needs to involve every machine in the LAN. For regional servers, the software update of C/S structure is more complicated.

Better protect data security. In the solution of C/S structure software, it is necessary to install regional servers in different places for large group enterprises operating in different places. Once a regional server has a problem, it will have a certain impact on data security, and the headquarters can't get accurate final data. For the software under the B/S framework, the data is concentrated in the central database of the enterprise, which can effectively protect the security of the data, and the enterprise can grasp its own business situation and market dynamics at any time and place and make the fastest decision.

Not restricted by the network. C/S structure software is only applicable to LAN users or broadband users (1 megabyte or more); B/S structure software is suitable for any network structure, especially for places where broadband cannot reach.

So we choose B/S architecture, in which Web Service software technology is used to integrate with the original C/S architecture.

3. Using GIS/GPS technology

At present, the development technology of GIS/GPS is mature. Due to the fierce competition in the software industry, the development cost has been reduced to be suitable for domestic enterprises to apply ERP systems.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is an advanced navigation technology, which consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter consists of several navigation satellites located in the geostationary orbit of the Earth satellite with different directions, and constantly emits radio waves to the surface of the Earth. Receiving equipment is usually installed on a moving target (such as a vehicle, a ship or an airplane). After receiving the positioning signals of navigation satellites in different directions, the receiving equipment can calculate their current latitude and longitude coordinates, and then record their coordinate information or send it back to the monitoring center. The ground monitoring center can use GPS technology to monitor the position of moving targets such as vehicles in real time, and send real-time dispatching instructions to moving targets according to road traffic conditions. GPS has global, omni-directional and all-weather advantages in navigation, positioning, timing and speed measurement. It consists of three subsystems: space satellite system, ground monitoring system and user receiving system.

The application of GIS (Geographic Information System) in logistics analysis mainly refers to the use of GIS's powerful geographic data function to improve logistics analysis technology. The application of GPS in logistics field can monitor the position of moving targets such as vehicles in real time, and send real-time dispatching instructions to moving targets according to road traffic conditions. The effective combination of GIS, GPS and wireless communication technology, supplemented by vehicle path model, shortest path model, network logistics model, distribution set model and facility positioning model. These advantages can quickly and accurately intelligently allocate cars and track on the way, and can establish a powerful logistics information system, making logistics real-time and cost optimal.

4. Application of information technology.

Knowledge management is a part of ERP system. Using systematic knowledge management and the latest information search technology to master and control the latest and most valuable logistics information and realize the cost competition of logistics operation is also the development direction of logistics management in the future.

(C) the improvement of equipment, the application of modern equipment

Advanced equipment is mainly accurate, fast and efficient. The wireless warehouse management system based on wireless network mainly refers to the establishment of an automatic real-time warehouse management system by using automatic control equipment such as radio frequency technology (RF), wireless handheld computer terminal, wireless network communication technology, and automatic warehouse management equipment (such as railway roadway stacker and laser-guided unmanned transport vehicle system).

For example, in the logistics center of Qingdao Haier Industrial Park, there are only 10 workers in the logistics center of more than 6,000 square meters, and 10 trucks shuttle through it. Previously, there were more than 200 staff members here. Moreover, it is this three-dimensional warehouse that has saved Haier the storage area as big as 43 football fields.

(D) logistics personnel training, recruitment

The logistics management quality of employees applying ERP system in enterprises is the key to improve the efficiency of ERP application. Enterprises can use modern human resource management and knowledge management concepts to train employees in logistics management knowledge, shape logistics management talents, or recruit logistics talents with optimized salary and enterprise environment.

abstract

The advantages of ERP are information integration, centralized management, intelligent control and timely response. It is the best management system for enterprises at present. It is an urgent requirement for enterprises to win future market competition to adapt to the current logistics situation and upgrade or transform ERP logistics management in time.
