in simple terms, logistics center contains the main operational aspects of the purchase, storage and sorting, shipping link.
1, the purchase operation
The basic operations in the logistics center in the purchase process work is the beginning of other operating procedures, including verification of primary documents, handling, transportation, sorting, inspection, confirmation of goods, the goods will be stored according to a predetermined storage of the entire cargo process. Purchase of goods operations are the basis and prerequisite for subsequent jobs, purchase work directly affects the quality of the quality of follow-up operations. The processes include:
1) purchase operational plans
2) preparation before purchase
3) pick up and discharge
4) The classification and labeling
5) check documents
6) storage and acceptance
7) The purchase of information processing
2, the product in database management
Goods database management content in the logistics center is generally based on the business, handling objects, customer requirements differ, but basically include: storage, storage spaces arranged, inventory operations, order picking operations, and packing processing operations. Commodity logistics center for the management of the library has the following basic requirements:
1) the storage of goods to meet the environmental and health requirements, insects and other vermin, keeping the temperature range to avoid contamination between products;
2) according to the provisions of goods storage area, easy to identify and locate;
3) to have continued access to goods, according to FIFO or LIFO principle;
4) the movement of goods in the warehouse line should be as short as possible to ensure the rationalization of logistics within the warehouse.
3, loading of goods
Logistics center in the role of circulation is the large variety of different suppliers of goods and unified transport, play a scale, in order to achieve units of goods to reduce logistics costs, and general merchandise distribution center relies on " ? and matching?>Logistics center in the role of circulation is the large variety of different suppliers of goods and unified transport, play a scale, in order to achieve units of goods to reduce logistics costs, and general merchandise distribution center relies on "matching" and Delivery of goods is the " ? and matching? combination. ?send?>Delivery of goods is the "matching" and "send" combination. The concept of the traditional delivery with the main difference is that by focusing on distribution, sorting, delivery and other aspects, on the orders of all goods for processing. Only reach a certain size distribution, logistics center to take advantage of scale advantages to lower unit operating costs to develop profit margins. It can be said the variety of goods, the greater the number of service providers and customers in more outlets, logistics centers and distribution can be achieved through the more profit. Without sorting, picking, there is an operational one, need a little one point, it will greatly increase the capacity of consumption, resulting in a serious waste of resources and costs are difficult to control growth, logistics center has lost its meaning. General distribution of the number of customers in a single vehicle can not achieve effective load bearing should be centralized distribution route of delivery of goods to other customers with the loading, in order to improve vehicle capacity utilization. This achieved through effective distribution fitted to improve efficiency, reduce distribution costs. However, due to a wide range of distribution of goods, different characteristics, the course of its operations in transportation technology and operational requirements can not be exactly the same, to ensure quality of service delivery, should choose the appropriate type of delivery vehicle, if necessary, to distribution, respectively. Vehicle loading technology to solve the main problem is in the fully intact to ensure the quality and quantity of goods under the premise of maximizing volume and load of vehicles in both the loading, full use of capacity.
4, the product of library operations
Commodity logistics center operating out of the library is based on the customer service department or business unit out of the delivery note and goods out of library documents, the goods listed according to their number, name, size, number or date of production of goods out of the library project organization series of activities. Goods out of database operations to complete the work marks the end of storage of goods. Goods out of the library consists of two operations, namely, pre-delivery preparation and goods out of the library
Pre-delivery preparation, including:
1) reasonable arrangements for loading space.
2) Check the vehicle loading conditions, meets the health requirements.
3) prepare attendant tools, unloading carts, cargo cages.
4) Prepare loading required personnel.
Goods out of database operations including:
1) Check the loading documents
2) by loading loading Figure rationing
3) verify the loading of goods quantity, quality
4) to accept the goods and delivery personnel or personnel matters identified library
5) Record the loading process
5, the direct transfer of management
Direct transfer method is a modern logistics center for logistics management operations require a higher mode of operation, the warehousing and transportation management with the degree of higher, and also made a greater challenge. Wal-Mart 85% of the direct transport of goods to the way it achieved cost savings of 3% of sales. However, direct transfer to the supplier, vehicles, information transmission and others have certain requirements, summarized in the following points:
1) in terms of logistics planning, logistics center to provide direct transit requires more space location for goods receiving, temporary storage, split boards, and other operations. Logistics center during the planning of the transport of goods to take direct proportion to seriously consider to leave sufficient room to facilitate the operation.
2) logistics center to accept the goods, inspection, picking, equipped with the program to be more strict control and enforcement. Direct transit of goods in the logistics center because the residence time is shorter, likely to cause transmission of information, documents performance, quality control, omission, it must strictly control the operation of the link.
3) direct transfer of a higher transport demand management, real-time information required to track the transport and delivery, require the ability to quickly deploy transportation routes, requiring transport system in case of emergency with the emergency was happening.
4) transportation and warehousing management coordination. Direct way is to transfer the logistics system integration of transport and storage practices of embodiment, transport and storage requirements in the transmission of information, operating equipment, uniform, organizational configuration, development and other aspects of emergency response programs should be coordinated.
