How to reduce the cost of enterprise logistics operations

How to reduce the cost of logistics operations

Reproduced the following information for your reference:

First, clear the composition of the total cost of enterprise logistics: transportation costs, inventory holding costs, warehousing costs, batch costs, out-of-stock losses, order processing and information costs, purchasing costs, and other administrative costs.

Second, the use of strategic cost management methods to control logistics costs

Generally, logistics costs can be controlled using productivity standards, standard costs and budgets to check logistics performance and other methods. Strategic cost management is a comprehensive and feasible combination of management techniques, so that the enterprise in the product planning and design phase of the product will be manufactured to pay attention to how much the cost of the product, strategic cost management of the most critical factors is the target cost.

Operation-based costing is a strategic cost management method, which is based on the amount of resources consumed by each operation to allocate costs to operations, and then according to the number of operations occurring in each product to allocate costs to the product. By using job-based costing, it is possible to improve and optimize the job chain, reduce the consumption of jobs, improve the quality of jobs, and carry out strategic cost management throughout the life cycle of jobs. Through the job cost management of enterprise strategic cost management, for logistics implementation process re-engineering, performance evaluation, etc. to provide cost information, for enterprises to further improve cost control and strategic planning and decision-making provides a more favorable basis and standards.

Third, reduce the total cost of enterprise logistics basic ways

Through the analysis of the total cost of enterprise logistics, in the specific operation of the enterprise, it is recommended that the following basic ways to reduce the cost of logistics:

1) Reduce the cost of logistics through the efficiency of distribution. Enterprises to achieve efficient distribution, reduce the number of transports, improve the loading rate and rationalize the arrangement of the distribution plan, choose the best means of delivery, thereby reducing distribution costs.

2) The use of logistics outsourcing to reduce enterprise logistics costs. Reduce the cost of investment Enterprises outsourcing logistics to specialized third-party logistics companies, you can shorten the time of goods in transit, reduce the cost of commodity turnover process and losses. Conditional enterprises can use the third-party logistics company direct supply on the line, to achieve zero inventory, reduce costs.

3) With modern information management system to control and reduce logistics costs. In the traditional manual management mode, the enterprise cost control is affected by many factors, often not easy and impossible to achieve the optimal control of each link. Enterprises using the information system on the one hand, so that a variety of logistics operations or business processes can be accurate and rapid; on the other hand, through the information system to summarize the information, forecasting and analysis, can control the possibility of logistics costs.

4) Strengthen the cost management awareness of enterprise staff. To reduce the cost of work from the logistics management department to expand the suite to all departments of the enterprise, and from product development, production, sales of the whole life cycle, logistics cost management, so that employees have long-term development of the "strategic cost consciousness".

5) The whole process of commodity circulation to achieve supply chain management. Make by the production enterprises, third-party logistics enterprises, sales enterprises, consumers composed of the supply chain of the holistic and systematic, realize the integration of logistics, so that the entire supply chain to maximize the interests of enterprises to effectively reduce logistics costs.

How to effectively reduce logistics costs

First, in the case of the relative stability of external factors, through the enhancement of distribution efficiency to reduce the amount of inventory and warehousing occupancy, reduce the cost of inventory holdings as well as warehousing costs. At the same time to reduce the number of transports, improve the loading rate and rationalize the distribution plan, choose the best means of delivery, which can make the logistics cost greatly reduced.

Second, with the modern information management system to control and reduce logistics costs. In the traditional manual management mode, the enterprise cost control by many factors, often not easy and impossible to achieve the optimal control of each link. Enterprises using the information system on the one hand, so that a variety of logistics operations or business processes can be accurate and rapid; on the other hand, through the information system to summarize the information, forecasting and analysis, can control the possibility of logistics costs.

Third, improve the quality of service, through the improvement of service quality to reduce the loss of returns, thereby reducing logistics costs. Returns cost as an important part of logistics costs, through the improvement of service quality can greatly reduce the occurrence of returns, reduce the proportion of returns cost in the total cost of logistics, which can play a role in reducing logistics costs.

Fourth, relying on the logistics information platform to obtain more logistics information, through the increase in business volume, can greatly reduce the loss of logistics vehicles and devices idle, and at the same time, through the increase in business volume brought about by the increase in overall revenue, can make the enterprise profit effectively enhance, so as to weaken the cost of the overall revenue impact.

Fifth, through the effective management of the entire supply chain, to enhance the service efficiency of the entire supply chain. So that enterprises and logistics companies to work closely with each other to reduce the loss of intermediate links, to a certain extent, can make the logistics cost greatly reduced.

Sixth, to enhance the staff's awareness of cost savings, through the enhancement of the staff's awareness of savings, from the source to eliminate the occurrence of unnecessary losses, reduce the rate of loss, so that to a certain extent can make the logistics cost can be reduced.

How to effectively reduce costs and expenses of logistics enterprises?

First, to reduce logistics costs should be from a variety of aspects *** with the start, specifically including 1, transportation scheduling rationalization. 2, artificial: labor deployment, labor quota management, reduce the operation link. 3, warehouse: rational arrangement of positions, reduce the amount of loading and unloading handling operations, mobile library, peak library. 4, reasonable purchase, as far as possible, to improve the turnover rate of commodities.

Second, the control of logistics costs, the basic work can not be ignored, specifically including 1. Establishment of sub-polar control and categorized control of the responsibility system. 2. Establishment of a strict cost approval system. 3.

All cost budgets before spending have to go through the application and approval procedures before payment, even if the original plan on the provisions of the application and approval. This process is set up in favor of all costs before they will be incurred and then conduct an in-depth study, according to the changes in the situation to determine the reasonableness of the costs to ensure that the cost of the use of the effect.

(3) to strengthen and improve the actual incidence of cost collection, recording, transmission, summarization and collation work, the collection and recording of information must be frequent, accurate, complete, need to have a scientific and rational collection methods and recording

way, in line with the needs of the supervision program; the transmission of information to have the right line, rapid and timely; summarize and collate the work of the scientific and reasonable unified provisions. Usually through the business accounting, statistical accounting and accounting in the enterprise to

realize.

(4) the control of repair costs is to strengthen the facilities, installations, maintenance, and develop a reasonable repair program.

(5) from the control of fuel and material consumption to reduce costs.

In the transportation cost, car / ship fuel cost expenditure is very alarming. As the model / ship type has decided the basic state of energy consumption, logistics companies can be on the car / ship fuel quota for strict control. At the end of a transportation task, a fuel and lubricant consumption report should be filled out according to the actual consumption, and the difference between the actual consumption and the consumption quota should be calculated. In addition, logistics companies with many transportation facilities should sign fuel supply contracts with several fuel supply companies,

and strive to obtain fuel at a relatively low price to stabilize the price of fuel for a certain period of time. For material consumption, depending on the situation, the implementation of limit control, amount control and quota control. Consumption of large quantities, the number of frequent use and consumption of fixed

amount of materials, the implementation of quota control; a variety of sporadic materials, according to the amount of control, such as labor supplies should be implemented quota control.

(6) to carry out cost-cutting mass activities.

Recently, the State Council executive meeting deployed to accelerate the development of production *** industry, emphasized the logistics industry, warehousing industry in the production *** industry in the status of important.

The logistics industry in the production *** industry accounted for more than 20%, accounting for nearly 16% of the ratio of the service industry, in the national economy accounted for 6.6%, the status is very important. At the same time, the warehousing industry is a weak link in the logistics industry,

infrastructure, technology, management is relatively backward, especially the overall effective supply of warehousing is insufficient. Need to promote industrial restructuring and upgrading. Encourage social capital to participate in the development of production *** industry. As soon as possible, the "camp to increase" pilot expansion

expanded to the entire field of service industry. Encourage financial institutions to adopt a variety of ways to broaden the enterprise financing channels.

Most of the logistics industry has been liberalized, but the monopoly still exists in the field of railroads, ports, etc. The general trend will be to open up. Logistics in the central and western regions into the high speed period of economic growth, there is a greater demand for logistics. The eastern region is mainly upgraded

The problem of industrial upgrading will lead to further upgrading of logistics. The production *** industry has a wide range, including transportation, logistics, trade services, science and technology services, finance, industrial design and other industries.

What are the ways to reduce logistics costs

First, through the whole process of commodity circulation to achieve the supply chain management, to improve the customer's logistics services to cut the cost. The cost.

Reducing logistics costs is not only the concern of the logistics department or production department of the enterprise, but also the responsibility of the sales department and purchasing department to implement the goal of reducing logistics costs to all departments of the enterprise. Improve customer logistics services is one of the effective ways to reduce logistics costs, more than the necessary amount of logistics services hinder the realization of logistics benefits.

Second, through the efficiency of the distribution to reduce logistics costs.

Enterprises to realize the efficiency of the distribution, improve the loading rate and rationalize the arrangement of the distribution plan, thereby reducing distribution costs.

Third, the use of logistics outsourcing to reduce the cost of enterprise logistics, reduce investment costs.

Enterprises outsourcing logistics to specialized third-party logistics companies can shorten the time of goods in transit, reduce the cost of commodity turnover process and losses.

Fourth, with modern information management systems to control and reduce logistics costs.

Enterprises using the information system on the one hand, so that a variety of logistics operations or business processes can be accurate and rapid; on the other hand, through the information system to summarize the information, forecasting and analysis, can control the possibility of logistics costs.

Fifth, the optimization of logistics routes to save costs, the use of advanced communication facilities.

Setting the optimal route, saving tolls, fuel costs and other additional income, and secondly, for the emergence of failures, line blockage, etc. can be notified through advanced communication equipment to change the route, to avoid delays in the timeliness of the problem and some unnecessary additional burden

How to reduce the cost of goods transportation

1) through the efficiency of the distribution of the reduction of logistics costs. Enterprises to achieve efficiency of distribution, reduce the number of transport, improve the loading rate and reasonable arrangements for trucking plans, choose the best means of delivery, thereby reducing distribution costs. Reduce the number of transport for example: container transport (1) to promote the rationalization of loading and unloading. Some people believe that this is the biggest effect brought about by the container. And individual items of one by one loading and unloading processing comparison, this advantage is mainly manifested in: First, shorten the loading and unloading time. This is due to multiple loading and unloading into a container loading and unloading and the advantages brought about; secondly, so that loading and unloading operations to reduce labor intensity. In the past, small and large quantities of bulk cargo loading and unloading, the labor intensity of workers is very great, and because of the intensity, the work is very easy to make mistakes, cargo damage. The use of containers not only reduces the labor intensity of loading and unloading, but also play a protective role for the goods, can more effectively prevent the collision of loading and unloading damage and loss of scattered. (2) promote the rationalization of packaging. After the use of containers, items of the single package and small packaging requirements can be reduced or even remove the small package so that there is a great savings in packaging materials, packaging strength due to the large-scale packaging and protection capabilities have been enhanced, but also greatly improved, is conducive to the protection of goods. (3) As a result of the container as a whole for transportation and storage, greatly facilitates the transportation and storage operations, easy to manage, but also the effective use of means of transportation and storage space, greatly improving the environment. Examples of improving the loading rate: to solve the problem of space utilization review the loading rate of the container to see if there is full utilization, if not, can be considered from the following points: 1) the arrangement of the goods is not to change the arrangement is different, the shape of the dimensions are bound to be different; 2) the direction of the opening of the box is not to change the direction of the opening of the direction of the different shape of the dimensions are bound to be different (the opening of the direction of the package size than the other). 2) the direction of the opening of the box is not to change the direction of the opening of the direction is different. 2) the use of logistics outsourcing to reduce enterprise logistics costs. Reduce investment costs enterprises to outsource logistics to specialized third-party logistics companies, can shorten the commodity in transit time, reduce the cost of commodity turnover process and losses. Conditional enterprises can use the third-party logistics company directly on the line, to achieve zero inventory, reduce costs. 3) with the help of modern information management systems to control and reduce logistics costs. In the traditional manual management mode, enterprise cost control is affected by many factors, often not easy and impossible to achieve the optimal control of each link. Enterprises using the information system on the one hand can make a variety of logistics operations or business processing can be accurate, rapid; on the other hand, through the information system of data aggregation, forecasting and analysis, can control the possibility of logistics costs. 4) Strengthen the cost management awareness of enterprise staff. The cost reduction work from the logistics management department to expand the suite to all departments of the enterprise, and from product development, production, sales of the whole life cycle, logistics cost management, so that the enterprise employees have long-term development of "strategic cost consciousness. 5) The whole process of commodity circulation to realize the supply chain management. Make by the production enterprises, third-party logistics enterprises, sales enterprises, consumers composed of supply chain integration and systematization, logistics integration, so that the entire supply chain to maximize the benefits, thereby effectively reducing the cost of enterprise logistics.

How to reduce China's logistics costs

Further improve the efficiency of circulation, reduce logistics costs is an important task this year. To this end, the Ministry of Commerce will carry out four aspects of work.
