现代物流
现代的物流的内涵

现代物流的内涵一、现代物流的定义现代物流是相对于传统物流而言。
传统的物流概念是指物质实体在空间和时间上的流动,过去我们长期以来对这种“流动”称之为“位移”。
说通俗一点“物流”就是指商品在运输、装卸、储存等方面的活动过程。
而现代物流是在传统物流的基础上,引入高科技手段如通过计算机进行信息联网,并对物流信息进行科学管理,从而使物流速度加快,准确率提高,减少库存,降低成本,延伸并扩大了传统的物流功能。
迄今世界各国的理论界对现代物流尚无统一的、完整的定义。
例如:(1)美国物流管理协会(Council of Logistics Management)认为:“现代物流是以满足消费者需求而进行的对原材料、中间库存、最终产品及相关信息从起始地到消费地的有效流动与存储的计划、实施和控制的过程。
”(2)日本通产省的研究所认为:“现代物流是商品从卖方到买方的全部转移过程。
”(3)还有一种说法,认为现代物流是:“在合适(Right)的时间、地点和合适的条件下,将合适的产品以合适的方式和合适的成本提供给合适的消费者。
”即所谓的7R(Right)定义。
我国六部委(国家经贸委、铁道部、交通部、信息产业部、外经贸部、民航总局)于2001年3月在《关于加快我国现代物流发展的若干意见》的通知中,对现代物流的定义是:“现代物流泛指原材料、产成品从起点至终点及相关信息有效流动的全过程。
它将运输、仓储、装卸、加工、整理、配送、信息等方面有机结合,形成完整的供应链,为用户提供多功能、一体化的综合性服务。
”尽管现在对物流的解释不一,但就现代物流的实质而言,它应包括以下四个主要方面:(1)实质流动,指原材料、半成品及产成品的运输。
(2)实质存储,指原材料、半成品及产成品的存储。
(3)信息流通,指相关信息的联网。
(4)管理协调,指对计划、实施和有效控制的过程。
二、现代物流的分类根据物流的对象不同、目的不同、范围和范畴不同,大体上可分为:社会物流和企业物流;综合性物流和功能性物流;国际物流和区域物流等。

现代物流与传统物流的区别

班级:工商001 学号:10050774 姓名:温韫传统物流与现代物流的区别1现代物流与传统物流的涵义。
传统物流指的是物品的储存、运输及其附属业务而形成的物流活动模式。
该种模式下,由于通讯及信息技术的落后,物流作业间信息难以共享和沟通,物流运作只有一系列独立的功能性作业,比如运输、储存、装卸、搬运等,且主要应用于流通领域。
而现代物流则指以现代信息技术为基础,整合运输、储存、装卸、搬运、包装、配送、流通加工、逆向物流、客户服务及物流信息处理等各种功能而形成的综合性物流活动模式,其实质是运用现代信息技术、通讯技术和物流技术对传统物流流程进行变革、控制和创新。
该种模式把物流范围从流通领域扩展到企业生产的全过程,即供应、加工、组装、销售及逆向物流,实行一体化物流管理;进而随着EDI、INTERNET和电子商务技术的发展以及基于此的物流、信息网络的发展,扩大到供应链管理范围。
2现代物流与传统物流的比较传统物流活动分散在不同的经济部门,不同的企业及企业内部不同的职能部门中,随着经济发展、技术进步及工业化进程加快,大量生产、大量消费使得传统物流不能适应,迫切需要现代物流来降低成本、提高企业核心竞争力、提高商品的可得性和提高经济运行效率。
基于此,从以几个方面进行比较分析现代物流与传统物流的差异。
(1)物流理念经济学原理告诉我们,资源具有稀缺性,因此,需要优化资源配置,提高资源的利用率和效用。
同样,企业物流资源、社会物流资源也具有短缺性。
传统物流模式下,企业、社会物流资源的分布结构不科学,整体利用效果不好,所以需要对物流资源进行集成和整合,这便是现代物流的一个重要理念。
现代物流的本质就在于以系统的观念进行物流功能的整合,即将仓储、运输、装卸、搬运、流通加工、配送、物流信息等功能环节集成整合,一体化运作,从而有效降低物流成本,提高流通的效率和效益,增强企业和产品的竞争力。
在我国现阶段发展现代物流,除物流功能整合而外,还应重点进行企业物流、区域物流、物流基础设施、物流信息、物流体制和物流人才等的整合。
简述现代物流的基本特征

现代物流的基本特征一、引言物流在现代社会中起着至关重要的作用,它负责将商品从生产地运送到消费者手中。
随着信息技术和全球化的迅猛发展,现代物流正经历着巨大的变革。
本文将探讨现代物流的基本特征,并对其进行全面、详细、完整的分析。
二、高效的供应链管理供应链管理是现代物流的核心之一,它包括协调和管理从原材料采购、生产制造、仓储管理到产品销售的过程。
现代物流致力于构建高效的供应链,通过信息技术的应用,实现物流环节的高度协调和流程的优化。
高效供应链管理包括以下特征:1. 紧密协调的合作伙伴关系现代物流不再是企业内部的单一管理活动,而是通过与供应商、生产商、物流服务提供商以及零售商之间的紧密合作关系,共同构建高效的供应链。
合作伙伴之间实现信息共享和协同工作,提高整个供应链的响应速度和效率。
2. 高度集成的信息系统现代物流借助信息技术的发展,建立了高度集成的信息系统,实现了供应链各环节的信息共享和实时掌控。
通过物流信息系统,企业可以准确地了解库存情况、运输路径和交货时间等关键信息,从而做出更准确的决策,提高物流效率。
3. 灵活的物流网络设计现代物流注重灵活性和可扩展性,根据市场需求和供应链环境的变化,灵活调整物流网络的设计。
例如,在多渠道销售的环境下,物流网络需要同时支持线上和线下渠道的配送,以满足消费者的多样化需求。
4. 效能优化的运输管理现代物流通过运输管理的效能优化,提高了货物的运输速度和降低了运输成本。
例如,智能调度系统可以帮助企业合理安排运输路线、优化车辆利用率,减少空载率,提高运输效率。
三、信息化与数字化的智能化物流现代物流的另一个特征是信息化与数字化的智能化。
随着物联网、大数据和人工智能技术的快速发展,物流行业正借助这些技术改变传统的物流模式,实现智能化运营。
1. 物流信息的实时获取与共享现代物流通过物联网技术,实现了对货物运输和仓储环节的实时监控。
传感器技术可以实时获取货物的位置、温度和湿度等关键信息,通过云平台,这些信息可以与供应链各环节共享,提高物流的透明度和可追溯性。
现代物流的定义

现代物流的定义网络概念:现代物流指的是将信息、运输、仓储、库存、装卸搬运以及包装等物流活动综合起来的一种新型的集成式管理,其任务是尽可能降低物流的总成本,为顾客提供最好的服务。
主要特征:根据国外物流发展情况,将现代物流的主要特征归纳为以下几个方面∶1.物流反应快速化。
物流服务提供者对上游、下游的物流、配送需求的反应速度越来越快,前置时间越来越短,配送间隔越来越短,物流配送速度越来越快,商品周转次数越来越多。
2.物流功能集成化。
现代物流着重于将物流与供应链的其他环节进行集成,包括∶物流渠道与商流渠道的集成、物流渠道之间的集成、物流功能的集成、物流环节与制造环节的集成等。
3.物流服务系列化。
现代物流强调物流服务功能的恰当定位与完善化、系列化。
除了传统的储存、运输、包装、流通加工等服务外,现代物流服务在外延上向上扩展至市场调查与预测、采购及订单处理,向下延伸至配送、物流咨询、物流方案的选择与规划、库存控制策略建议、货款回收与结算、教育培训等增值服务;在内涵上则提高了以上服务对决策的支持作用。
4.物流作业规范化。
现代物流强调功能、作业流程、作业、动作的标准化与程式化,使复杂的作业变成简单的易于推广与考核的动作。
5.物流目标系统化。
现代物流从系统的角度统筹规划一个公司整体的各种物流活动,处理好物流活动与商流活动及公司目标之间、物流活动与物流活动之间的关系,不求单个活动的最优化,但求整体活动的最优化。
6.物流手段现代化。
现代物流使用先进的技术、设备与管理为销售提供服务,生产、流通、销售规模越大、范围越广,物流技术、设备及管理越现代化。
计算机技术、通讯技术、机电一体化技术、语音识别技术等得到普遍应用。
世界上最先进的物流系统运用了GPS(全球卫星定位系统)、卫星通讯、射频识别装置(RF)、机器人,实现了自动化、机械化、无纸化和智能化,如20世纪90年代中期,美国国防部(DOD)为在前南地区执行维和行动的多国部队提供的军事物流后勤系统就采用了这些技术,其技术之复杂与精坚堪称世界之最。
