What is high end logistics and what is a senior logistics talent

Compared with the current stage of China, high-end logistics can be understood as two levels, one is different from the traditional, general warehousing and transportation, and has higher requirements for logistics. This understanding of the scope of high-end logistics is relatively wide, the standard is not so high, as long as the logistics services and logistics service objects and the general situation are compared, there are special requirements and standards, we can call it high-end logistics, such as cold chain logistics, the requirements must be carried out in a low temperature environment, liquid and bulk material logistics, requiring special carriers and storage and transportation methods, etc., this definition of high-end logistics is universal, called high-end logistics in a broad sense.

This article has a very detailed explanation, in short, those who need special technology are competitive.

Now high-end logistics is basically not realized by the company's big leaders, so it's just talking. It's hard to push the ** chain now, let alone something higher. Let's go back to 5 years.

High-end logistics: refers to a kind of logistics service built on high-end products, with high added value, high technical standards, high efficiency and effectiveness.

Qualifications: Logistics activities that require relatively valuable items, strict transportation requirements, special equipment or special restrictions or special service requirements, special technical services or the use of high-tech means, etc.

Since logistics is a management work that includes all aspects of procurement, warehousing, transportation, packaging, international logistics, computers, etc., senior logistics talents must not only understand logistics professional knowledge, but also have a deep use of other professional skills involved in their positions in order to be better qualified for logistics work. Whether it is a college student who has just left school, or a front-line worker who has two or three years of work experience, we must continue to improve in practice in order to meet the needs of logistics talents for the rapid development of modern enterprises.

The most needed senior logistics talents for modern enterprises are the kind of logistics talents who know how to plan the long-term development of enterprises from a strategic point of view, and have practical work experience in front-line departments. It is reported that Suning Group plans to set up 1,000 large-scale chain stores across the country within three years, and an important condition for the realization of this huge plan is the need to have a logistics team that is familiar with the operation of large-scale logistics centers and can establish a warehousing and distribution system. The transportation department of Suning Group in Jiangsu has reached 8,000 household appliances per day, and it is difficult to imagine that a graduate with no actual transportation and distribution experience can be qualified for such a job.

At present, school education and industry training focus on theoretical teaching, and there is still a large gap between the professional skills and perspectives mastered by graduates and the needs of enterprises, which is also an important reason for the prominent contradiction between supply and demand of logistics talents in China.

Generally speaking, senior logistics talents need to focus on mastering the following four aspects of professional knowledge and skills:

1) Logistics management knowledgeThe core of logistics management lies in the integration of resources at the macro level and lean operation at the micro level. Personnel engaged in logistics management should be familiar with the basic processes of the industry, and master the planning and layout of logistics centers, the transportation and distribution of goods, procurement management and inventory control, the basic application principles of logistics machinery and equipment, and the operation and management characteristics of logistics enterprises.

2) computer information system knowledge due to the logistics operation of modern enterprises on the information system requirements are quite high, senior logistics personnel in addition to being able to master computer skills and office automation tools, but also must have a deep understanding of the information system, can correctly judge the logistics needs of enterprises in the wave of enterprise informatization, and point out the direction of logistics reform for enterprises from a professional point of view.

3) The reason why financial knowledge logistics is called the "third source of profit" is to improve the economic benefits of enterprises through cost-saving methods. As a senior logistics talent, he holds a middle and senior position in the enterprise, and only by being proficient in financial knowledge can he correctly carry out "logistics diagnosis" for the enterprise in his work, analyze the logistics cost and reduce it.

4) good foreign language application ability of senior logistics management work needs to continue to learn from the world's latest logistics management technology and computer, finance, foreign trade, human resources and other aspects of knowledge, only in the work of continuous learning, in order to ensure that the logistics work of the enterprise is always full of vitality and to achieve the purpose of continuous cost savings. Good foreign language skills are essential for all senior talents.

The difference between high-end logistics and ordinary logistics.

1) From the object point of view: the goal of high-end logistics services is the high-end field, which is for the sake of modern high-end industries. Because high-end logistics has higher requirements, more complex capital investment, and high-end industries have high added value.

Relatively speaking, the level of ordinary logistics services is lower, and it is the logistics of general commodities that have no special requirements for logistics.

2) From the service point of view: the quality of high-end logistics services is higher, and the service functions and service capabilities are stronger. High-end logistics introduces an integrated concept that guarantees an agile response to change, the fastest speed and the service of all the latest technologies and technologies.

3) From the perspective of requirements: high-end logistics needs to use special equipment, special technology, special technology, special services, special talents and high-level management ideas. Therefore, there are very few enterprises that can provide high-end logistics in China, and there are many ordinary logistics enterprises.

4) From the goal point of view: high-end logistics ensures timeliness, obtains competitive advantages in high-quality services, and completes the transfer process from the commercial production field to the consumption field and circulation field with the fastest speed, the best time and the best combination, and also brings huge profits to high-end logistics service providers.

High-end logistics is the logistics process of resource integration, advantages of each other, logistics integration, division of labor and cooperation of the industrial chain, is a chain as the core of the logistics integration system, including logistics planning and chain management consulting services, logistics and chain solution design, logistics and chain implementation and control, logistics and chain operation and management, global network services, logistics information and information network services, chain of multiple links of resource integration services, logistics special services, etc., with " High added value, high efficiency, high timeliness, high-tech content, high human capital, high openness of industrial driving force, low resource consumption and environmental protection and low pollution".

The difference between traditional logistics and modern logistics is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Traditional logistics only provides simple displacement, while modern logistics provides value-added services;

2. Traditional logistics is a passive service, and modern logistics is an active service;

3. Traditional logistics implements manual control, and modern logistics implements information management;

4. There is no unified service standard for traditional logistics, and standardized services are implemented in modern logistics;

5. Traditional logistics focuses on point-to-point or line-to-line services, and modern logistics builds a global service network;

6. Traditional logistics is the management of a single link, and modern logistics is the optimization of the overall system.

Lean logistics: Lean thinking refers to the use of a variety of modern management methods and means, based on social needs, to give full play to the role of people as the foundation, effective allocation and rational use of enterprise resources, to maximize the economic benefits for the enterprise to seek a new type of management concept. Lean logistics is the application of lean thinking in logistics management.
