Introduction
In recent years, with the gradual improvement of the market economic system and the deepening of the enterprise
reform, most of China's traditional industries have entered into a state of over-competitive
state, the focus of industrial competition has gradually shifted to the competition for the distribution channel. And to solve
Circulation chaos, circulation industry dispersion and circulation of the organization of the situation requires modern
Professional logistics system, and subsequently generated the demand for third-party logistics. Third
Party logistics is a logistics business by the supply and demand side of the logistics business outside the third party to complete
Complete the logistics services logistics operations, is the traditional transportation, warehousing and other basic
Basic services industry, the important development.
I, the development of third-party logistics
1. The concept of third-party logistics
Third Party Logistics TPL (Third Party Logistics) is also
known as "socialized logistics", "contract logistics", they are the first to be used in the development of logistics services. Logistics", they are an external customer
management, control and provision of logistics services for the operation of the company, although not part of the supply chain
only a third party, but by virtue of its financial, technological and managerial advantages to a large number of
businesses, organizations or households to provide low-cost, high-efficiency purchasing, transportation, warehousing
storage and packaging, and a range of other logistics services to serve the supply chain.
2. The development of third-party logistics
Third-party logistics enterprises mainly include procurement, transportation, warehousing
storage, distribution and other services, which use their own strong logistics resources to optimize
logistics services, high efficiency, high quality, low-cost to meet the supply chain of each
enterprises between the logistics needs.
This is the first time in the history of the company.
Two, China's third-party logistics development of the status quo
(1) the prosperity of third-party logistics on China's economic development has an important meaning
Yi. With the development of the economy, the enterprise's production and sales scale is expanding, must
naturally bring a huge flow of material products, the demand for logistics has increased dramatically
long. In order to meet the social and economic development of specialized logistics needs, third-party logistics
flow came into being.
(2) Third-party logistics plays a direct role in promoting economic growth,
so that the productivity of the entire logistics industry improves, meeting the demand for logistics services
and realizing the rational allocation of social resources and significant
improvement of economic efficiency.
The value-added of China's logistics industry in 2003 amounted to 788 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth
10.5%, of which the third-party logistics realized an added value of 60 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of
more than 20%, making a direct contribution to the GDP.
(3)After the third-party logistics, the production enterprise will be the original belongs to their own
management of the logistics business, in the form of contract entrusted to the professional logistics enterprises, not only can
enough to focus resources on production, the development of their own core business, to reduce the cost of the product
costs, but also to achieve the reduction of logistics costs and improve logistics efficiency.
(4) through the development of third-party logistics, can greatly improve the efficiency of transportation,
reduce transportation energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and promote the sustainable development of society
development, with significant social benefits.
Three, the supply chain environment of the third-party logistics procurement mode analysis
In order to better control procurement costs, improve logistics efficiency, to meet the user's increasingly personalized
demand, more companies began to focus on the supply chain management
management up. Supply chain is essentially from the concept of expanding production, the enterprise
production activities for the extension and extension, through a series of activities in the customer,
enterprises, suppliers to form a connection between neighboring units constitute a
supply and demand for a close relationship.
(1) Analysis of the role of third-party logistics procurement in the supply chain environment. Third
Party logistics plays an important role in the supply chain. In order to adapt to the fierce
market competition and the requirements of the development of global economic integration, enterprises have given up the past "big, small and comprehensive" vertical integration business model, and gradually shifted to the "horizontal
integration", through the establishment of the third party logistics business with their own closely related enterprises.
By establishing close
contacts with closely related enterprises, focusing on strengthening their core competitiveness, and making full use of resources outside the enterprise to respond quickly to changes in market demand.
Third-party logistics in the coordination of neighboring enterprises in the procurement and supply relationship
Wielding an important role as a bridge and link, thus ensuring that the entire supply chain
tight, effective operation. The core enterprise not only establishes the network connection with all departments and subsidiaries within the enterprise,
but also integrates all the related enterprises and
users in the supply chain into this network system to realize the **** enjoyment of information resources.
(2) Analysis of the purchasing function of third-party logistics in the supply chain environmentThe purchasing and supply relationship between manufacturers and intermediaries is taken as an example to analyze the purchasing function of third-party logistics in the supply
chain. There exists a long-term and stable alliance relationship between the intermediary, the third party logistics company and the manufacturer. The intermediary no longer sets up special
purchasing department and invests in purchasing equipment, and all of its purchasing activities are completely handed over to the
third-party logistics company to complete, and the three parties are in the same information network system
, and through the network to realize the information resources *** enjoyment of the three parties. The three parties are in the same information network system
, through the network to realize the information resources of the three parties *** enjoy. Intermediary according to the user
demand and their own warehousing to the manufacturer, the third-party logistics company issued
order information, the manufacturer based on the varieties and quantities of orders to arrange for the production program.
Third-party logistics companies can be in response to the demand of intermediaries, the manufacturers
provide products for classification and repackaging, give full play to their strengths, transport
use modern means of transportation, the shortest route, the least amount of time, will be the product
dispatched to the market.
(3) Analysis of the procurement process of third-party logistics in the supply chain environment. The intermediary
makes a demand order according to the market condition and sends a request to the manufacturer and the third-party logistics company; the manufacturer receives the request and quickly makes a production order,
and at the same time, requests the service from the third-party logistics company; the third-party logistics company makes a purchase order according to the request of both parties.
The third-party logistics company will make a purchase order according to the request of both parties. Around the user's needs, the three parties to make
synchronized response: the manufacturer to arrange the production plan, prepare the goods; third-party logistics companies to prepare for the purchase; the intermediary is trying to solve the problem of marketing and sales. Manufacturers
manufacturers will be ready for the goods by the third-party logistics company to provide logistics services to intermediaries
services (including transportation, warehousing, distribution, etc.), the intermediary to receive the goods acceptance into the warehouse,
notify the financial department will be the payment of the goods allocated to the manufacturer, the manufacturer and then to the logistics company to pay
payment of logistics service fees, so as to realize the virtuous cycle of the supply chain.
Four, conclusion
In the 21st century, the global economy is becoming more and more integrated, the market scope is expanding
Greater, the competition is no longer confined to the enterprises, but more for the supply chain of
between the competition for market resources. Therefore, third-party logistics enterprises should start from a strategic
point of view, continue to develop and improve the supply chain system, so that the entire supply chain is not
could be limited to the domestic, but should be more extended to foreign markets, so that their own material
flow of resources in the international market to be more fully utilized, and better meet the procurement needs of enterprises in different
the same country. The third-party logistics procurement is the only way to realize the third-party logistics procurement. Only by realizing the rapid development of third-party logistics procurement
can manufacturers continue to develop competitive products,
intermediaries can provide users with better quality services, and their core strengths
can be more fully developed, and ultimately realize the efficient operation of the entire supply chain
