Analysis of enterprise logistics cost control points

Analysis of the key points of enterprise logistics cost control

Logistics cost is a general term for the cost of enterprises in the logistics, which has a pivotal role in enterprise cost control, according to relevant surveys, logistics costs accounted for 20% to 30% of the cost of the entire product, or even more. As early as the 1960s, the United States management experts Dulac said that the logistics sector is the economic growth of the "Dark Continent", is to reduce the cost of "the last frontier". In the logistics cost control of excellent results in the enterprise, generally can establish far more than the industry's core competitiveness, especially in the total cost of products, with other enterprises can not reach the advantage. Logistics cost management is gradually becoming one of the important business functions of the enterprise, it can effectively improve production efficiency, reduce resource consumption, so as to reduce the overall cost, in order to improve the business results. The following is my analysis of the key points of enterprise logistics cost control for you, welcome to read.

Classification and main content of logistics costs

Logistics costs are dispersed in the transportation, storage, handling, packaging, and information transfer and so on, and modern logistics more emphasis on the supply chain based on the establishment of a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with the enterprise, in the form of contractual services, the enterprise throughout the year to negotiate the business, including the amount of inventory, The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers, and to provide the best possible service to its customers in the future.

Logistics cost classification

1 enterprise production logistics costs

Enterprises in the production site in the handling of production materials, stacking, semi-finished goods transport sequence, route, logistics facilities, depreciation and interest on occupied funds, will bring greater cost. Influence. The main components are warehousing, mobile inventory, facilities and operations management. Warehousing includes storage costs, warehouse facilities, parts and components depreciation and labor costs, etc.; flow of inventory mainly includes workpiece in-process inventory and line change in-process inventory, operation management mainly includes equipment depreciation, oil transmission materials, daily costs and personnel wages, etc., the facilities are mainly included in the line edge of the shelf, in-process containers, the field of depreciation and the raceway and so on.

2 enterprise supply logistics costs

It refers to the enterprise raw material supply system in the procurement of materials, warehousing and transportation, acceptance and warehousing and other costs. Which can be subdivided into packaging (cartons, containers, plastic film, and other labor costs), import services (tariffs, shipping costs, insurance, pressure charges, labor costs, salaries and daily costs), transportation (vehicles, freight and labor costs, etc.), warehousing (warehouse facilities, storage costs, labor costs and depreciation of parts and components, etc.), depreciation of facilities (containers, vehicles, shelves and sites, etc.), logistics services (warehousing fees, distribution and processing costs, transportation costs, distribution costs, labor costs, etc.), information, planning and scheduling (personnel wages, system operation and maintenance, daily costs, etc.), system software and hardware (investment, installation, training and replacement, etc.), energy consumption (water, electricity, oil and chemical materials, etc.), maintenance (personnel wages, spare parts reserves, daily costs, etc.), depreciation of parts and components (product upgrades, changes in the exchange rate, changes in market prices, etc.). The company's business is based on a number of factors, such as)

3 enterprise sales logistics costs

It refers to the finished product from the finished goods warehouse to the direct user or retail terminal cost process, including finished product storage, transportation and facilities depreciation. Transportation (vehicles, freight and labor costs), inventory (personnel wages, complete vehicle storage, daily costs, etc.), facilities (depreciation of equipment and premises, repair and maintenance costs, personnel wages, etc.), complete vehicle and spare parts depreciation (product replacement, market price changes, etc.), complete vehicle and spare parts depreciation (product replacement, market price changes, etc.), management (planning and scheduling staff wages, daily operations, parts storage, parts funding, etc.), system software and hardware.

4 enterprise recycling logistics costs

Enterprises in the production of renewable and reusable materials are often produced, the recycling of these recyclable materials, can produce unexpected benefits. This includes transportation and storage costs.

5 enterprise waste stream costs

For the production of waste to be recycled, one can protect the environment, and the other can be used, so that the price of materials to play to the maximum. Industrial waste costs include waste disposal costs, equipment depreciation costs, labor wages and daily costs.

Points of logistics cost control

Before using the correct logistics cost control methods, the correct logistics cost control principles should be developed, so that complement each other to minimize costs and maximize benefits. Vertical control of logistics costs, horizontal control, and computer network management system of the three **** with constitute a framework for the realization of integrated cost control of logistics. Vertical control mainly refers to the optimization of logistics management. Logistics system is very complex and huge, must use certain means and methods to optimize it, mainly including data analysis methods and operation cost management method. Horizontal control and vertical control are intertwined, mainly including the calculation and analysis of logistics costs, information feedback and decision-making control, so as to carry out effective prediction and decision-making on logistics costs and take the most correct course of action. The main role of the computer network management system is to collect and summarize the name and quantity of goods ordered. According to the supply price, supplier reputation and delivery period and other information on the supplier to give instructions to realize the maximum efficiency of the system. At present, ERP technology shows the popularization of the application of the trend for the implementation of comprehensive logistics management to provide strong technical support.

Procurement logistics cost control points

① The formulation of quotas. The formulation of production material quotas has a very important role in the control of procurement costs. On the one hand, you can control the production of waste, on the other hand, you can calculate the optimal batch size according to the calculated quota, so that the limited cash to play a maximum role in promoting the mobility of raw materials.

② supply manufacturers to choose. Select the appropriate supply manufacturers on the one hand can ensure the stability of the quality of parts; on the other hand, the establishment of a long-term solid *** with the development of relations, you can enjoy the price of the batch effect. Favorable.

③ The signing of the procurement contract. Clear delivery mode, arrival time. Liability for breach of contract, quality penalties are strict and clear provisions.

Production logistics cost control points

① Production logistics. Pay attention to the scientific arrangement, according to the need to receive materials.

② warehousing logistics. ABC management method, that is, the amount of significant, but the number of small classified as Category A, the amount of about 70% of the total inventory, the number or volume of only about 10% of the total inventory; the amount of the number of general classified as Category B, the amount of about 20% of the total inventory, the number or volume of also accounted for 20% or so; the amount of small, a wide range of categories, the number of numerous classifications For the C category, its amount generally accounted for about 10% of the total inventory, the number of the entire inventory accounted for about 70%. Warehouse managers invested 70%, 20%, 10% respectively. By setting up journal entries, receiving cards, inventory tables, etc., reasonable control and maintain the stock level, in order not to run out of stock does not affect production as appropriate. "Zero inventory" management mechanism. This is currently used more generally, on the one hand, can save unnecessary inventory costs, on the other hand, also avoid a large number of raw materials to take up warehousing and storage costs.

Sales logistics cost control points

Sales logistics management mode of choice, that is, outsourcing and self-management of the cost comparison, the use of the best. The choice of logistics methods: steamship delivery, train freight, air logistics, shipping and other various logistics methods. According to the amount of delivery, accounting for the cost of various modes of transportation, comprehensive trade-offs, reasonable choice.

Recycling logistics cost control method of exploration

Production-oriented enterprises, especially in the industrial manufacturing industry, steel, iron, aluminum, steel and other materials, a lot of trimmings, production due to the size, thickness and other reasons can not be used, if not properly dealt with, day after day, this is a staggering waste. Recycling logistics cost control methods can start from the following aspects.

① Enhance the awareness of recycling waste products. Recycling of waste products has a very important meaning, so companies must enhance the recycling logistics awareness.

② Develop incentive policies. Enterprises must pay attention to the recycling logistics system, the relevant policies, open source and cut costs to create a cash inflow for the enterprise.

③ Set up a specialized department or designate a person responsible for the establishment of the recycling logistics system. Enterprises to control the cost of recycling logistics, we must establish a sound recycling logistics system, and by specialists responsible for the collection and transportation of the relevant waste materials and processing. Only in this way can effectively complete the control of recycling logistics costs.

Exploration of logistics cost control methods for waste destruction

Warehouses will remain due to various reasons and the residual of the expiration date, waste, destruction of raw materials and components, enterprises must be classified collection and storage of these items, transported to the appropriate processing site for processing, divided into no use, proper handling, avoiding waste of resources and environmental pollution, and avoiding waste of resources and environmental pollution. Avoid waste of resources and environmental pollution. The materials and accessories are handled in a timely manner and canceled in a timely manner, so that the books and inventory coincide.

In the evaluation of an enterprise solvency, often calculate the quick ratio rather than the current ratio, this is because a large part of the enterprise inventory liquidity uncertainty. This uncertainty is mainly from the book and the actual inventory, often contains a lot of pending disposal of obsolete and damaged materials, and this part of the material in the actual realization of the actual realization is often of little value.
