Logistics knowledge

① Transportation and distribution

The so-called transportation and distribution refers to the transportation of goods from suppliers to demanders. This accounts for about 60% of the logistics cost. Transportation, also known as one-time transportation, refers to long-distance mass transportation (from point a to point B). Distribution, also known as secondary transportation, refers to short-distance transportation in small quantities (from place a to multiple places). In the globalized contemporary society, truck, ship, aircraft and railway are mainly used for transportation. At present, the transportation volume of trucks is about 90% of that of China, and about 5 billion tons of goods are transported every year.

② Custody

Safekeeping refers to the use of safekeeping facilities such as logistics centers to adjust the time difference between producers and consumers. It also includes activities to maintain the value of goods kept by the logistics center. After the development of frozen and refrigerated warehouses, the storage function has been improved rapidly. The types of logistics centers include distribution center (DC), transfer center (TC), and process center (PC) for food processing.

③ Packaging

Packaging is the beginning of logistics. The products produced on the production line have just been manufactured and are not packaged, so they cannot be shipped to trucks for distribution. Therefore, in order to deliver the goods to the consumers intact, the goods need to be packaged. It can be said that the packaging mode affects the efficiency of the whole logistics activities, which is very important.

④ Loading and unloading

Loading and unloading refers to the handling of goods in warehouses and logistics centers. There are six operations in loading and unloading, which have a great impact on the efficiency and quality of logistics. The six operations refer to goods preparation, loading and unloading, handling, storage (shelving), classification, and goods collection (picking, etc.). 60-70% of logistics time is mobile time. Useless loading and unloading operations will increase logistics costs.

⑤ Circulation processing

Unpack the whole box of goods arrived, and pack and deliver them according to the quantity required by consumers. The process of changing the packaging state of goods at the time of arrival into a packaging style that meets the needs of customers is called circulation processing. That is, adding "added value" to goods. The operation that was originally completed by the manufacturer and the retail industry, considering its cost, was completed by the logistics center.

The re labeling of imported medicine and wine, the quality inspection of clothing industry, the production of price labels in department stores, the insertion of bookmarks in books, the packaging of gifts and other circulation processing are all completed in the logistics center.

⑥ Information processing

The logistics center keeps a lot of information. It is necessary to correctly manage the data when accepting orders, as well as the information such as the status of goods from sorting to delivery date, delivery date, and the transportation company in the middle of delivery. Especially in the logistics center, which processes tens of thousands of pieces a day, in order to manage accurately, it is necessary to effectively use the warehouse management, transportation and distribution management, Huayou information system, as well as advanced material handling and loading and unloading equipment to create an efficient management system to clarify the location of warehoused goods before they are delivered to consumers.
