What's the difference between modern logistics and traditional logistics?

Modern logistics is a comprehensive logistics management. Compared with traditional logistics, modern logistics actively implements standardized services, optimizes the whole logistics system, provides value-added services, implements information management, and is committed to building a global service network. Modern logistics provides transportation, warehousing, processing, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution and information processing services to minimize the total cost of logistics and provide customers with the best service. The development trend of modern logistics is globalization, informationization, automation, organization networking, intelligent management and environmental protection. Let's learn about modern logistics. What is modern logistics?

Modern logistics refers to a new type of comprehensive management that integrates logistics activities such as information, transportation, warehousing, inventory, handling and packaging. Its task is to reduce the total logistics cost as much as possible and provide the best service for customers. Modern logistics is a process of transferring goods from the place of supply to the place of demand at the most economical cost according to the needs of customers. It mainly includes transportation, storage, processing, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution and information processing.

What's the difference between modern logistics and traditional logistics?

1. Traditional logistics is a passive service, while modern logistics is an active service.

2. There is no uniform service standard for traditional logistics, and modern logistics implements standardized services.

3. Traditional logistics is a single link management, while modern logistics is a whole system optimization.

4. Traditional logistics only provides simple replacement, while modern logistics provides value-added services.

5. Traditional logistics is controlled manually, while modern logistics is managed by information.

6. Traditional logistics focuses on point-to-point or line-to-line services, while modern logistics builds a global service network.

Development trend of modern logistics

1 globalization

With the development of globalization, the logistics mode of enterprises is also developing towards globalization. The raw materials and parts of the enterprise come from the global raw material market, and the product sales area is also worldwide. In order to optimize resources, global enterprises will also set up production bases all over the world, which will inevitably bring about the globalization of logistics. Global logistics is the characteristic of modern enterprise management.

2. Logistics informatization

Information plays an important role in realizing logistics systematization and logistics operation integration. Modern logistics organically combines all kinds of logistics functions and activities through information, and controls the logistics system to run according to the predetermined goals through real-time mastery of information. The development of information technology also provides necessary support for modern logistics, which enables enterprises to reduce non-value-added logistics activities and improve logistics efficiency.

3. Automation

In modern logistics activities, advanced transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, packaging and distribution processing are widely used. The large-scale, high-speed and specialization of transportation tools, the automation of loading and unloading machinery, the unitization of packaging, the three-dimensional and automation of warehouses, and the computerization, electronization and networking of information processing and transmission have provided material guarantee for the development of modern logistics.

Step 4 organize the network

With the expansion of production and circulation space, in order to provide fast and all-round logistics support for product promotion, modern logistics needs to have a sound logistics network system, and the logistics activities between all points on the network remain systematic and consistent, so as to ensure that the whole logistics network has the best overall inventory level and inventory distribution, and the transportation and distribution are fast and flexible, which can be opened and closed to form a fast and flexible supply channel. Only by forming a network can dispersed logistics monomers meet the needs of modern production and circulation.

5. Intelligent management

With the development of science and the application of technology, logistics management is a gradual development process from manual operation to semi-automation, automation and intelligence. In this sense, intelligence is the continuation and promotion of automation, so it can be said that the automation process contains more mechanized components, while intelligence contains more electronic components, such as integrated circuits, computer hardware and software.

6. Environmental protection of logistics

In the process of logistics, various measures are taken to control the harm of logistics to the environment. In fact, this concept is inseparable from the huge requirements of social economy. Due to the limited resources of the earth, for the long-term sustainable development, human beings must learn to maintain our ecological environment, and demand that our various economic lives cannot destroy the natural environment on which we depend. Developing logistics should not only promote economic development, but also ensure the healthy development of human beings. Most countries or regions have more or less reflected the idea of recycling materials and preventing environmental damage when formulating laws and regulations on transportation and packaging, which requires enterprises to pay attention to cooperating with corresponding laws and regulations when carrying out logistics activities.
