Promote the development of logistics equipment in China
Drawing on the advanced experience of foreign logistics equipment development, combined with the actual situation of China's logistics development and the main problems, we can take the following measures to speed up the development of China's logistics equipment.
1, to speed up the standardization of logistics equipment development work. Standardization of logistics equipment plays an important role in improving the efficiency of logistics operation. The unified standard is conducive to the mutual matching between the various equipment, which is beneficial to the business cooperation between the logistics enterprises, thus shortening the logistics operation time and improving the production efficiency , To improve the quality of logistics services, and to reduce the proportion of logistics costs in the total cost of production.
2, to increase investment in logistics equipment, pay attention to diversified investment. The logistics equipment of the practical application of the investigation and study, focusing on the development of high technological content of the logistics equipment, consciously out of the old backward efficiency, low safety performance of logistics equipment, the allocation of advanced logistics machinery facilities, such as transport systems in the new locomotives, vehicles , Large-scale vehicles, special special vehicles, storage system in the automated warehouse, high-level shelves, handling systems in the crane, forklift, container handling equipment, automatic sorting and monitoring equipment.
3, regulate the logistics equipment supplier business behavior, encourage its expansion of business scale, improve the technical level and design capabilities, so as to provide better logistics logistics equipment.
4, to guide the logistics enterprises in the choice of logistics equipment, not only pay attention to the price of equipment, but also pay attention to the quality of equipment, safety and the role of the entire system, combined with their actual needs to choose the right logistics equipment, the entire system efficiency.
5, to improve the logistics enterprises and all levels of government logistics equipment in the development of logistics awareness, so that they are in the logistics equipment system planning. Design can take into account, to avoid the use of inconvenience and waste of resources.
6, whether it is logistics enterprises or all levels of government logistics management should be included in the logistics management content. Logistics equipment is part of the logistics cost, should pay attention to the management and research of logistics equipment, improve the efficiency of the use of logistics equipment, to minimize the idle time of logistics equipment. At the same time should pay attention to the safety of logistics equipment, testing and maintenance, slow down the equipment wear and tear to extend its service life, to prevent damage to the equipment to protect its normal operation.
The location of the loading and unloading equipment in the logistics equipment in the warehousing business process:
Warehousing Business Process:
(Goods Receipt) Cargo Handling - Handling Handling - (Storage) Temporary - Acceptance - Storage - Storage - Regular inventory - (Delivery) Outbound - Handling - Shipping
Logistics equipment purchase method
Logistics equipment to buy key to see "what equipment is best for my job needs?" So be sure to start from their own reality. In addition, to choose the strength of the company.
1, detailed description of the equipment must fulfill the function of service objectives.
What is the selected device? This issue is critical, and this is the question that all logistics managers must answer accurately before starting to determine the device plan. The lack of a sufficient description of the equipment requirements and the description of the best capacity that the device should have will lead to the consequences of the selected equipment mismatch. In order to more clearly describe the equipment requirements, it is recommended to take operational analysis tools. On the basis of the structural analysis of the operation, the traffic between the relevant operations and the operation modules will be easier to describe and calculate, and it will be more convenient to grasp the description of the logistics equipment requirements in each operation.
2, prepare a detailed equipment program to meet the identified job requirements.
In the equipment planning process, the purpose is not to determine the detailed specifications of the equipment program, but to determine the general classification of equipment. Such as the shelving equipment, the equipment plan to be developed first is based on the pallet rack, or the cantilevered shelves; then, in the fourth and fifth steps of the equipment planning and selection process, a more detailed specification form , Such as galvanized or surface spray process. There is little to remind you colleagues, equipment program development work, it is easier said than done. We usually have to pay attention to the accumulation of knowledge of the logistics equipment. For more complex system requirements, with a professional logistics planning consultant is a worldwide practice.
3, quantitative (economic assessment) and qualitative analysis combined.
For the economic evaluation of the equipment program, the first is the cost calculation. Typically, the cost is divided into two categories: cost and annual operating costs. The most common investment cost is the purchase cost of the equipment. The annual operating costs are the ongoing costs of using the equipment. Typical annual operating costs include logistics workers' costs, equipment maintenance costs, taxes and insurance premiums. Once the corresponding life cycle cost of the equipment plan is calculated, the present value of the equipment scheme should be calculated. Depreciation, tax calculation and corporate income tax are important aspects of economic analysis. This is not described in detail here. After qualitative factors are determined, all factors need to be given the weight by the important procedure. Then, for different programs to score.
4, select the logistics equipment and suppliers.
After the selection, the next job is to specify the detailed specifications of the required equipment. Often this stage is important to illustrate the detailed specifications of the equipment requirements, and contact the supplier, detailed consultation with supplier qualification and equipment description. The final step in the equipment planning process is to prepare the equipment / system tender.
