Logistics informatization and modern logistics Modern logistics is based on multimodal transport, which extends forward to factory delivery, goods inspection and packaging, and even involves manufacturers' procurement and transportation of raw materials, as well as services such as collection, storage and distribution of goods.
It will serve the whole process of production and sales of manufacturers, procurement and distribution of wholesalers until the products reach the final customers. With the emergence of modern logistics, production enterprises and sales enterprises are completely separated from transportation, and all transportation-related affairs are handed over to logistics companies, which is the result of the refinement of social division of labor.
With the rapid development of world economy and the progress of modern science and technology, modern logistics industry, as an important part of modern economy and the most economical and reasonable comprehensive service model in the process of industrialization, is developing rapidly all over the world. Internationally, the logistics industry is regarded as the artery and basic industry of national economic development, and its development level has become one of the important symbols to measure a country's modernization and comprehensive national strength, and is known as the "accelerator" to promote economic development.
Extended data:
1, logistics service provider flow
In business flow activities, the ownership of goods is transferred from the supplier to the buyer at the moment when the purchase and sale contract is signed, but the commodity entity has not moved because of this. Except for futures trading without physical delivery, the general business process must be accompanied by the corresponding logistics process, that is, according to the buyer's demand, the commodity entity is transferred from the supplier to the buyer in an appropriate way and way.
In this whole circulation process, logistics actually appears as the successor and service provider of business flow. Without the role of logistics, under normal circumstances, business flow activities will become a dead letter. The development of e-commerce needs the support of logistics, which is the truth.
2, logistics to ensure production
From the procurement of raw materials, it is required to have corresponding logistics activities to put the purchased raw materials in place, otherwise the whole production process will become a cook without rice; Between the production processes, the logistics process of raw materials and semi-finished products is also needed to realize the liquidity of production.
As far as the whole production process is concerned, it is actually a series of logistics activities. Rationalized logistics can effectively promote the improvement of the whole social and economic level by reducing transportation costs, optimizing inventory structure and improving efficiency.
