What is the classification of logistics?

In accordance with different criteria, logistics can be classified in different ways, usually, logistics can be classified in the following ways: 1, according to the scope of logistics is divided into social logistics and enterprise logistics: social logistics belongs to the macro scope, including equipment manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, decoration and packaging, distribution, information services, etc., the public **** logistics and third-party logistics throughout; enterprise logistics belongs to the scope of micro logistics, including Production logistics, supply logistics, sales logistics, recycling logistics and waste flow.　　2, according to the different fields of action, logistics is divided into the production field of logistics and circulation field of logistics: production field of logistics throughout the entire process of production. The whole process of production from the procurement of raw materials, will require a corresponding supply of logistics activities, that is, the procurement of materials needed for production; in the production of various processes, the need for raw materials, semi-finished goods logistics process, the so-called production logistics; part of the residual materials, can be reused materials recovery, is the so-called recycling logistics; waste disposal requires waste logistics.　　Circulation area logistics mainly refers to sales logistics. In today's buyer's market conditions, sales logistics activities with a strong service to meet the buyer's needs, and ultimately realize the sale. In this market premise, sales are often delivered to the user and after-sales service is considered to be terminated, so the characteristics of the enterprise sales logistics is through packaging, delivery, distribution and a series of logistics to achieve sales.　　3, according to the development of the historical process, will be divided into traditional logistics, integrated logistics and modern logistics: traditional logistics, the main focus on warehousing and inventory management and delivery, and sometimes the main focus on warehousing and transportation to make up for the difference in time and space. Integrated logistics not only provides transportation services, but also includes a lot of coordination work, is the management of the entire supply chain, such as land transportation, warehousing departments and some other distributors, but also includes order processing, procurement and other elements. As a lot of energy is put into supply chain management, the responsibility is bigger and the management is more complicated, which is the difference with traditional logistics.　　Modern logistics is the process of planning, realizing and controlling the management of effective flow and storage of raw materials, intermediate process inventory, final products and related information from the starting point to the end point and storage in order to meet the needs of consumers. It emphasizes the process from the starting point to the end point, improves the standards and requirements of logistics, and is the development direction of logistics in various countries. Large international logistics companies believe that modern logistics has two important functions: to be able to manage the quality of the flow of different goods; the development of information and communication systems, through the network to establish business contacts, directly from the customer to obtain orders.　　4, according to the main body to provide services, logistics is divided into agency logistics and production enterprises within the logistics agency logistics, also known as third party logistics (Third Party Logistics, 3PL), refers to the logistics services by the supply side of the logistics labor, demand for third parties outside the third party to complete the logistics service mode of operation. The third party is an external service provider that provides some or all of the logistics functions of both parties to a logistics transaction.　　Intra-enterprise logistics refers to a production enterprise from the raw materials into the factory, after a number of processes into parts, and then parts assembled into components, and finally assembled into a finished product factory, the flow of materials within the enterprise is called intra-enterprise logistics.　　5, according to the different flow of logistics, but also can be divided into inward logistics and outward logistics inward logistics is the enterprise from the production of goods suppliers into the flow of products triggered by the enterprise from the market procurement process; outward logistics is from the enterprise to the consumer flow of products between the enterprise, that is, the enterprise will be the products delivered to the market and complete the process of exchange with consumers.
