Problems existing in enterprise logistics management

There are still some problems in the development of enterprise logistics management in China, and they are facing great challenges. Enterprises should actively respond, constantly change their concepts, develop modern logistics, constantly improve the level of logistics management informationization, enhance the ability of enterprise resource optimization and allocation, enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises, and occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition. What exactly are there? Let's have a look!

First of all, the traditional concept of logistics restricts the development of modern logistics.

(A) the concept of traditional logistics

As a new thing, the concept of logistics was introduced to China after 1980s. However, logistics knowledge, especially modern comprehensive logistics knowledge, is far from universal, and even many people don't know what logistics is. Even if we know something about it, we only know that its main business field is to provide transportation and warehousing services, but we don't know that it is a new integration of these traditional businesses. Enterprise managers didn't keep up with the development of modern logistics, and largely didn't realize that their business field has gone far beyond simple transportation and storage, and has become a service connecting the whole process of logistics and finished product distribution in the production process of raw materials and semi-finished products, and an integrated system covering subsystems such as business flow, physical logistics, capital flow and information flow.

(B) the development of modern logistics

With the pace of economic development, traditional logistics has gradually changed to modern logistics, including transportation modernization and rationalization, warehousing automation, packaging standardization, loading and unloading mechanization, processing and distribution integration, information management networking and so on. The level of modern logistics has become one of the important standards for a place or country to reflect its comprehensive strength. Enterprise logistics management should get rid of the shackles of traditional logistics concepts and vigorously develop modern logistics.

Second, the informatization level of enterprise logistics management is low.

Logistics informatization is the key to the development of modern logistics and the main development trend. In the new century, China has determined the policy of promoting industrialization by informatization and informatization by industrialization. In order to promote the development of China's logistics industry, manufacturing industry and trade circulation industry, and vigorously improve the level of logistics informatization in China, and then promote institutional innovation, logistics technology innovation and business model innovation. Enterprise managers do not fully realize the convenience and importance of informatization. Many enterprises have backward logistics equipment, low mechanization of logistics process and outdated equipment. Although most enterprises also use information technology in the logistics process, the level of computer technology is low, which can not meet the requirements of information operation. Although some enterprises have gained a lot of advanced experience in logistics informatization, the upgrading and improvement of logistics system needs to be strengthened. Enterprises have not gradually formed their own logistics information system and established their own relatively stable logistics information management model. The use of logistics management information by enterprises is not enough, the investment in logistics management informatization is not enough, and the overall level of logistics management informatization of enterprises is still low.

Thirdly, the innovation consciousness of enterprise logistics management is weak, and the mode needs to be improved.

Although most enterprises will set up special logistics management departments, they are not fully aware of the functions of logistics management departments, and their ability to simply plan, be responsible for product procurement, warehousing, transportation, and coordinate and manage information and funds is very low. Some enterprises even have internal management disjointed, and few people can think about logistics management from the perspective of supply chain management. In this way, the logistics management of enterprises has been deeply branded? Plan? According to the index, the material plan is roughly made, but the guiding ideology, professional technology and logistics information system foundation of logistics systematization and informatization are still insufficient, lacking flexibility and expansibility, and it is difficult to further optimize. Therefore, it is more and more important to innovate the enterprise material management mode to make it conform to the development trend of modernization.

Fourth, there is a lack of logistics management professionals.

(A) the lack of logistics management personnel

Talent is an important resource of an enterprise and plays a very important role in its development. At present, for the logistics management department of enterprises, the development started late, and enterprises have fewer information talents for logistics management. With the continuous improvement of the market economic system and the increasingly fierce market competition, the contradiction between traditional logistics management and enterprise development is becoming more and more prominent. Strengthening the informatization construction of logistics management urgently needs professional and technical personnel in this field, but the current situation is not optimistic, and some employees are not familiar with the basic operation of computers, which has brought great obstacles to the informatization construction of enterprise logistics relations.

(B) Logistics managers need to be innovative.

Innovation, creation and entrepreneurial knowledge are the abilities and qualities that logistics management professionals in logistics enterprises must possess. At the same time, most enterprises think that the basic knowledge of logistics, the development and design of logistics information system and the professional knowledge and skills of transportation are more important, but they lack the corresponding personnel training. The development of modern logistics industry requires the company to introduce or cultivate employees at all levels who have received professional training and know both business knowledge and business skills.

(C) the loss of logistics management personnel

Therefore, enterprises should do well in logistics management. On the one hand, they should cultivate and discover existing talents that can be used by enterprises in the market competition, and keep them by improving the management level and treatment of talents. With a certain foundation and strength, they should also actively introduce some key talents to continue to develop logistics management, thus reducing logistics costs and enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.

Enterprises need to introduce and popularize foreign advanced logistics theory and operation mode according to the actual situation, and cultivate logistics talents with professional quality. Although logistics management is generally offered in colleges and universities in China, the number of college graduates trained is gradually increasing. But generally speaking, it is still in the theoretical stage, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in practice. In addition, some enterprises do not attach importance to the introduction and training of logistics professionals, resulting in the loss of logistics management professionals.
