What is (logistics management)? What is its specific content and significance?

[Edit this paragraph] The definition of logistics management

Logistics management refers to the planning, organization, command, coordination, control and supervision of logistics activities in the process of social production according to the flow law of material entities, in order to achieve the best coordination and cooperation between logistics activities, reduce logistics costs and improve logistics efficiency and economic benefits. 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 of commodities from the place of origin to the place of consumption by means of transportation, storage and distribution at the lowest cost.

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

The specific contents of logistics activities include the following aspects: user 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 supply place to the receiving place, 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 in the world of material data. "Flow" is a kind of physical movement, which has a limited meaning, that is, the physical movement relative to the earth with the earth as the reference system, called "displacement". The range of flow can be a large-scale geography, a micro-movement or a small-scale displacement in the same area and environment. The combination of "thing" and "flow" is an advanced form of movement based on natural movement. The interrelation between them is to find the law of motion between economic purpose and physical object, between military purpose and physical object, and even between some social purposes and physical object. Therefore, logistics is not only a combination of "things" and "flows" under the above 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 through pipelines, so the raw materials, intermediate products and products involved 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) Take customer satisfaction as the first goal;

(2) Taking the overall optimization of the enterprise as the goal;

(3) taking information as the center;

(4) Higher efficiency.
