What is logistics Management?什么是物流管理

1.The Definition of logistics物流管理的定义

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 definitio n of logistics. During the transfer process, hardware such as logistics facilities and equipment (logis tics carriers) are needed, as well as information control and standardization. In addition, supports fr om the government and logistics association should be in place.

完成商业交易后物流将以最有效的成本方式以最有效的成本方式实行从供应商（卖方）到客户（买方）货物转运。这就是物流的定义。在转运过程中，像物流设施和设备（物流运输工具）之类的硬件是必要的，也需要信息控制和标准化管理。另外，来自政府和物流协会的支持应该到位。

Three major functions of logistics.物流的三个主要功能

(1) Creating time value: same goods can be valued different at different times. Goods often s top during the transfer process, which is professionally called the storage of logistics. It creates th e time value

for goods.

创造时间价值：同样的货物在不同的时间有不同的价值。货物常常在转运过程中处于滞留状态，用专业术语来说这被叫做物流储存。它创造货物的时间价值。

(2) Creating location value: same goods can be valued differently at different locations. The va lue added during the transfer process is the location value of logistics.

创造场所价值：同样的货物在不同的场所可被不同地定值。转运过程中被累加的价值就是物流的场所价值。

(3) Distribution processing Value: sometimes 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 commonly seen distribution processing form. Most processing within logistics crea te added value for

goods.

经销过程价值：有时物流创造经销过程价值，这一经销过程改变货物的长度、厚度和包装。正像流行说法，“分割成更小块”是最常见的经销加工形式。物流的大部分过程创造货物的附加值。

Logistics is a new commercial area, developing from the traditional stage to a modern one. Th e

main differences between these two stages include:物流是一项新的商业领域，从传统阶段到现代阶段发展而来。

这两个阶段间的主要不同点包括：

(1) Modern logistics adopts containerization techniques. The goods transfer process starts with p ackaging, followed by transportation, storage and distribution. The whole process is operated under l ogistics standards. Based on the logistics base module of 600×400mm, form the logistics module of 1,200×1,000mm, and enlarge to the size of 2,591×2,438mm ---the size of high×wide of the container. It can be adjusted to the

standard sizes of containers for trains, trucks and ships.

现代物流采用集装箱运输技术。货物运输过程从包装开始，接着是运输、储存及经销。整个过程在物流标准下进行．基于物流600×400MM的基础模数，形成1,200×1,000mm的物流模数，并放大到2,591×2,438mm的尺寸—即集装箱高乘宽的尺寸。它也能被调整到适于铁运、汽运和船运的集装箱标准尺寸。

Information technologies are most important for modern logistics. Bar Code, POS, EDI and GPS

systems dramatically improve the efficiency and accuracy of the logistics activities. Internet further assists the market development, operations and management of the logistic industry.

信心息技术对现代物流来说极其重要。条码，销售点，电子数据交换和全球定位系统极大地提高了五六活动的效率和精确性。互联网更进一步促进了物流行业的市场开发、市场操作和管理。
