What is the best way to learn logistics, and what should logistics majors learn?

Learn the method of logistics Steps:

1. Relating to a specific matter in real life.

For example, in the automobile manufacturing industry, you can observe how logistics works. What specifics does it include? Its spare parts procurement, its so-called most complex production scheduling, its vehicle logistics, and so on.

None of the logistics theory textbooks in the school can cover. To become a logistics master, you must know a lot of knowledge related to the industry you are engaged in, such as management, industrial engineering, international **, finance, and so on. Students majoring in logistics need to have a broad vision and think carefully about the issues they are really interested in, rather than sitting in the study and reading those textbooks that I don't know who made them.

Second, whether it is a person who learns logistics or does logistics, no matter how ambitious his ambition is, he must go through a painful stage: the stage of doing some of the simplest manual labor or operations in person.

Only in this way can we truly understand the true face of logistics and the needs of enterprises. Only with such a foundation can we become a real top problem solver in the days to come. Frankly speaking, many logistics professors in China's key universities cannot say that they really understand logistics.

Without practice, they may be able to build logically beautiful mathematical models, but unfortunately, their models will never solve any real-world problems. In a German university, a professor of engineering who has not worked as a front-line engineer in a factory for at least two years after obtaining his degree will not be able to obtain the title of professor. But in our country, there are many so-called well-known scholars who can only talk about it.

Third, logistics is promising, but only familiar with logistics operations can not really learn logistics well.

The so-called learning logistics is to become an expert in solving problems, and at the same time an excellent coordinator and negotiator.

The ultimate value of logistics is to meet customer needs, and it is important to understand what customers think. Therefore, if possible, we should start from the specific needs of market customers as much as possible, clearly depict the industrial chain network of the industry in which we are located, and our position, and think about what we can provide for the market in combination with our own strengths and advantages. And consciously accumulate in this area, and after years of accumulation, you may become the leading expert in your environment in a specific field.

Learning logistics well is not about how talented you must be, not how high your education is, but because your own talent is needed in the logistics industry and has distinctive characteristics.

First, the first thing you should learn is the basic knowledge: these are the necessary knowledge systems before learning logistics. After learning and understanding, we can integrate the knowledge of logistics application.

Simple Mathematics (Probability and Statistics, Linear Algebra, Calculus), Management, Managerial Psychology, Political Economy, Western Economics, Statistics, Economic Law, Basic Principles of Logistics, Fundamentals of Accounting, Modern Logistics Technology, Marketing, Computer Applications, Legal Fundamentals, Warehousing Practice, Warehousing and Logistics Technology and Equipment, Internet Network and Applications.

2. After the study of basic disciplines, the applied learning subjects are in the second stage: logistics, commodity science, international logistics, logistics management, international logistics, international logistics, several simple programming languages (such as: C language programming, SQL Server database, etc.), software engineering, enterprise logistics management, chain planning and organization, technical economics, regional economics, management accounting, financial management, third-party logistics and services.

3. After mastering some simple applied knowledge, you should learn some knowledge sections in depth, which can allow you to integrate some of your ideas into the knowledge you have learned: packaging, warehouse management, procurement, logistics system engineering, procurement management and inventory control, transportation design and distribution management, logistics system planning, logistics information system, ERP MRP principle and application, e-commerce and logistics, logistics center design and operation.

Fourth, after the first three studies, we will establish some customer relationships and customer satisfaction on the tree, as well as some industry software: logistics software applications, enterprise management application software, customer relationship management, etc.

Learning methods for logistics majors.

As we all know, the logistics function runs through the whole process of production and sales of the enterprise, so it is connected with a number of different functional departments of the enterprise, and in order to do a good job in logistics, it is necessary to understand the characteristics and needs of the different functional departments served. As a student, how to learn logistics management is not much different from learning other disciplines, but there are some things that need to be paid attention to in order to learn well and apply what you have learned.

Logistics is a very practical industry, many students to the workplace, always feel that many things seem simpler than textbooks, but really want to operate but find that there is no way to start and have to consult the old staff. These veteran employees may not have a good academic background, or even a graduate of logistics management, but they may have worked in a certain position for many years, accumulated rich work experience, or mastered some homework tips to help smooth logistics operations.

To take a simple example, it seems to the average person that the most complex thing in a warehouse is warehouse planning, especially the work of drawing lines in the warehouse is very simple. It's just that although the content of warehouse planning is taught in school textbooks, it rarely tells students how to draw lines, what problems need to be paid attention to, and then how to partition the warehouse, what signs will be in the reservoir area, and where these signs should be placed in the correct place. In addition, even if the content of warehouse planning is explained at a lot of length in textbooks, because students rarely have the opportunity to visit the warehouse site or participate in the planning of a real warehouse, most people's mastery of the content is more on the understanding of some basic processes, and there is still a great distance from independent real operation.

Through the above examples, we can preliminarily summarize some contents that need to be paid attention to in logistics management learning:

1. To learn logistics management well, you should ask more why and summarize it in time in the learning process. Learning needs to be more detailed, such as how to operate the links that need to be operated in the logistics operation process.

2. Avoid avoiding the important and trivializing learning styles. At present, some students study only to prepare for exams, so there is a lack of depth in learning and a lack of understanding of what they are learning. In addition, logistics planning attaches great importance to mathematical calculation ability, and the calculation process can help planners to fully understand the situation of the object to be planned and clarify the planning ideas.

Many people take a detour because of their poor mathematical foundation, which makes it difficult to guarantee the learning effect and is not conducive to the development of future work.

3. To learn logistics management well, you need to participate in social practice work more and avoid being high-handed.

4. Understanding more about all the industries or positions engaged in in the future will help to learn in a targeted manner. Many students do not know what they can do, what they want to do, and what the employer's job requirements are.

5. The learning of logistics management related disciplines can not be left behind, which will help to communicate and coordinate cooperation with other departments.

Logistics is an interdisciplinary discipline that involves many fields such as management, economics, and engineering. At present, "Logistics Major" has been included in the Ministry of Education's undergraduate major catalog, and the two majors of "Logistics Management" and "Logistics Engineering" are classified into the "Logistics Engineering and Management" category under "Management".

Main courses: 1. Logistics Mathematics.

This course is a professional basic course for logistics management majors (junior colleges). The main contents include: general knowledge of calculus, probability and statistical foundations in logistics (data collection and collation, description of data distribution characteristics, overview of probability and probability distribution), ** techniques (time series analysis, univariate regression analysis), operations research in logistics (overview of graph and network analysis, CPM, pert, simple transportation optimization problems).

2. English for logistics.

The course is a compulsory course for logistics management majors (junior colleges), which is composed of the following main parts: logistics and chain overview, procurement and logistics, warehousing, production planning and inventory control, transportation and distribution, logistics information system, customer service, common logistics documents and documents, logistics English common vocabulary and terminology, etc.

3. Logistics foundation.

This course is a professional course for logistics management (specialist). This course is designed to develop the basic theoretical knowledge and research ability of self-study test takers.

Compulsory courses: Introduction to Logistics, Logistics Planning and Design, Procurement and Management, Procurement Project Management, Transportation Management, Warehouse Management, Distribution Management, International Logistics, International Theory and Practice, Procurement Process Drill, Transportation Practice, Warehouse Management Practice, Logistics Distribution Center Design, International Logistics Practice, Success, Innovation, Quality Development Training, etc.

Each school is different, mainly depending on the arrangement of each school, but the professional courses are similar.

Modern logistics management is still very easy to learn, as long as you learn it seriously. Because my friend is studying logistics, he also thinks it is good, and he plans to take the civil service exam after graduation.

Most of his usual classes are logistics management, and he will also learn C language, electronic and electrical technology, and some mechanical courses, which are quite a test of logic, and you have learned computers and machinery, in fact, you don't have to worry about finding a job, and you can develop in many directions. And as long as you listen to the professional course, you can pass it, which is not very difficult, or the C language and modeling are still quite hair-consuming. This is their usual homework.

Here's their class schedule.

In terms of his understanding of the logistics industry, there is a polarization phenomenon. First of all, the entry threshold is low, and management positions in the logistics industry require academic qualifications or experience. However, if you want to achieve a senior position in the logistics industry, it is important to have analytical skills and clear logical thinking.

In terms of practice during school, if you have the conditions, you can go to some large and more standardized companies to see, and if you are attentive, you can learn a lot. In addition, it is necessary to develop their own organizational and management skills in school. If you want to do a senior logistics position, you must involve coordinating and managing multiple parties to achieve a goal and complete a project.

Therefore, the ability to organize, manage, coordinate and communicate is important. Therefore, I personally feel that if you are very introverted and can't change yourself, it is not suitable for logistics.

This is just a brief talk of my experience from my own perspective as a student, and there may be a lot of shortcomings, please forgive me.

The choice is greater than the effort, choosing a good major directly determines your future direction, the new energy vehicle market has a large number of development, good development prospects.
