Analysis of the Current Situation of my country's Logistics Industry

(1) Macro Logistics Situation

The government has strengthened macro guidance for the development of modern logistics. The "Decision on Several Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Socialist Market Economic System" adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "It is necessary to develop modern circulation methods such as e-commerce, chain operations, and logistics distribution." The "Decision" clarifies the importance of logistics from the strategic perspective of the country's future economic development, and will incorporate the development of logistics into the management functions of governments at all levels and promote it under the strong organization of the government.

Management system obstacles are prominent. Due to the fragmented management system formed by the long-term planned economic system, departmental segmentation and regional segmentation still play a role to a certain extent. Administrative management departments have many branches, and contradictory phenomena still exist, preventing the logistics industry from forming a whole. , Under this management system, it will be difficult to realize the socialization and networking of logistics and the automatic and reasonable allocation of logistics resources. For example, the management of transportation is managed by different departments according to different modes of transportation, resulting in overlapping and duplication of rights and responsibilities between departments and regions, making it difficult to effectively cooperate and coordinate; and due to the current financial system, local economies , social development plans are also self-contained. Regional blockade and market segmentation have become another major obstacle to the development of the logistics industry. This institutional shortcoming is incompatible with the cross-regional, cross-industry, and networked characteristics of modern logistics. It directly leads to the dispersion and difficulty of integrating various existing logistics elements, resulting in a lack of planning and construction of various infrastructures. Necessary coordination leads to a large amount of duplication of construction and waste of logistics resources.

The level of logistics development is not high and the efficiency is low. Internationally, the proportion of logistics costs to GDP is usually used as an important indicator to measure logistics efficiency and effectiveness. China's social logistics cost as a proportion of GDP has been hovering around for seven consecutive years since it dropped to 21.4 in 1998. It was still 21.3 in 2004, while this indicator in developed countries has been controlled at around 10.

(2) Current situation of regional logistics

Many provinces and cities have begun to pay attention to logistics planning and application. In the past few years, some provinces and municipalities in my country have begun to realize the importance of logistics in promoting economic development, improving the investment environment, and improving the competitiveness of regional economies and industrial and commercial enterprises in domestic and foreign markets. They have regarded the development of modern logistics as a strategy involving the overall economic situation. Sexual issues come to the fore.

For example, Hunan is accelerating the pace of building a large logistics pattern. The Hunan Province Advanced Logistics Management Experience Exchange Meeting held on the morning of August 27, 2005 revealed that Hunan Province will coordinate the planning of a number of large-scale, fully functional logistics parks in cities such as Changsha, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan and Huaihua, and actively cultivate and build a number of logistics parks. Establish a batch of modern logistics enterprises with strong market competitiveness, large business scale, advanced technical equipment and management level, and strive to make the modern logistics industry a new growth point and important pillar industry of the national economy in Hunan Province within three to five years.

However, there is no unified understanding of "logistics" in various places. Although the concept of logistics has been introduced into our country for more than 20 years, the development and construction of modern logistics has only begun in the past two years. Due to the weak foundation of logistics and the lack of practical operation experience, there is no unified understanding of "logistics" in various places. For example, the scope of the logistics industry, how to make statistics on the operations of the logistics industry, how modern logistics can reduce social costs and corporate costs, and to what extent it can be reduced, are all vague, and we are all "feeling for the stones". River" is still in the exploratory stage.

Logistics hardware needs to be improved. Logistics hardware such as warehousing facilities, loading and unloading equipment, transportation tools, information processing technology, etc. are relatively backward. Specifically, the road network density is low, the highway intermodal transport capacity is low, the total mileage of railway operations is short, some remote areas are still in a semi-closed state, and air transport cannot meet the high-growth passenger travel requirements and high-value, high-time-efficiency freight. need.

With the overcapacity of water transport worldwide and vicious competition in domestic freight rates, my country's existing ship types are single and the ships are too old, which makes the situation faced by domestic water transport even more severe. In addition, the low degree of logistics standardization seriously affects the sharing of information and operating efficiency, and it is also difficult to integrate with international standards.

(3) Current situation of enterprise logistics

The proportion of third-party logistics is low. Due to the influence of the traditional planned economic system, quite a few enterprises in our country still retain the "large and comprehensive" and "small and comprehensive" business organization methods. A series of logistics activities from raw material procurement to product sales mainly rely on the internal organization of the enterprise. Self-service is completed, and a large amount of potential logistics demand cannot be converted into effective market demand. According to the survey, 31% of raw material logistics in industrial enterprises is organized by the enterprise itself, 50% is organized by supplier enterprises, and only 19% is undertaken by third-party logistics enterprises; among industrial enterprises, 27% of sales logistics is undertaken by enterprises, and 55% is jointly organized by enterprises and third-party logistics enterprises. However, only 18% of the total is borne by third-party logistics companies; 27% of logistics execution entities of commercial and trading enterprises are third parties, 11% of which are borne by suppliers, and 62% of which are borne by the company itself. At present, the retention rate of various logistics facilities within most enterprises is relatively high, and they have become an important part of the enterprise's operating assets. This self-service logistics activity model has largely restricted and delayed the emergence and development of industrial and commercial enterprises' demand for efficient, specialized and socialized logistics services. This is also one of the current constraints on the rapid development of my country's logistics industry. Important "bottleneck".

The quality of employees is not high. The quality of employees is a key factor that determines the company's development speed. The quality of staff in logistics companies is uneven. In particular, front-line staff lack basic professional training. In addition, the quality of personnel is low, resulting in poor service attitudes and forming a bottleneck that restricts the company's development.
