Basic principles of logistics product pricing

Under the background of market economy, the price is determined by the relationship between market supply and demand. Supply exceeds demand, prices fall, supply exceeds demand and prices rise. This pricing mechanism skillfully realizes the optimal allocation of world resources.

The factors that affect the product pricing of logistics enterprises are distance, weight and so on.

The price composition includes distance, weight and other factors, and its calculation unit is ton-kilometer freight rate or person-kilometer freight rate (ton-nautical mile freight rate or person-nautical mile freight rate); There is only one form of sales price; Different freight rates are determined according to the type of goods transported, the selected mode of transportation and the transportation distance.

According to the different modes of transportation, the transportation price can be divided into highway logistics price, railway logistics price, logistics price, aviation logistics price and pipeline logistics price. According to the different modes of goods transportation and required uses, it can be divided into vehicle logistics price and LTL logistics price.

The logistics system was originally said to exist objectively, but it has never been recognized by people, thus failing to actively utilize the advantages of the system. Logistics system is a long-span system, which is embodied in two aspects: long geographical span and long time span.

The logistics system is unstable and dynamic. Logistics system belongs to the scope of intermediate level system, which can be divided into several subsystems. The complexity of logistics system makes the structural elements of the system have a very strong antinomy phenomenon, which is usually called "profit and loss alternation" or "interest antinomy" If the logistics system is handled carelessly, the overall deterioration of the system will occur.
