物流英语阅读理解十篇

After completing a commercial transaction, logistics will execute the transfer of goods from the supplier (seller) to the customer (buyer) in the most cost-effective manner. This is the definition of logistics. During the transfer process, hardware such as logistics facilities and equipment (logistics carriers) are needed, as well as information control and standardization. In addition, supports from the government and logistics association should be in place.

Three major functions of logistics

1. Creating time value: same goods can be valued differently at different times. Goods often stop

during the transfer process, which is professionally called the storage of logistics. It creates the time value for goods.

2. Creating location value: same goods can be valued differently at different locations. The value

added during the transfer process is the location value of logistics.

3. Distribution processing Value: sometime logistics create distribution processing value, which

changes the length, thickness and packages of the goods. Like popular saying, “ cutting into smaller parts “ is the most commo

seen distribution processing form. Most processing within logistics create added value for goods.
