Compared with ordinary logistics, emergency logistics is quite different in system objectives, required equipment and distribution methods. When dealing with emergencies, we must ensure the smooth flow of logistics in the shortest time, the fastest process and the form of high efficiency and safety, and the chain formed for this is called emergency logistics system. The biggest feature of emergency logistics is
"Urgent", the economic benefit of logistics is no longer the central goal. That is to say, emergency logistics aims at the satisfaction of the people in the disaster area and the rapid delivery, realizes the rapid response to emergencies, and provides relief materials to the people in the disaster area at the right time and place on the premise of minimizing the cost of emergency logistics.
Second, the mode of transportation affects the transportation efficiency.
The characteristics of emergency logistics determine the extraordinary importance and particularity of logistics transportation, and the means of transportation directly affect the efficiency of emergency logistics. In the event of a natural disaster, vehicles that urgently need to transport emergency supplies will send relief supplies and personnel to the disaster area in the shortest time. So the choice of vehicles is very important. Select vehicles with high reliability, low failure rate, strong adaptability and good passability to undertake emergency logistics tasks, and ensure that relief materials and personnel are delivered to designated places in time. Otherwise, the transportation efficiency emphasized by emergency logistics will be greatly reduced.
In the process of organizing and implementing emergency logistics, the principle of low cost is no longer important, and effectively shortening the transportation time of emergency materials is the key goal.
Third, informatization affects emergency response.
In the process of emergency materials transportation, the lack of information tools such as GPS will prolong the transportation time and bring unnecessary losses. It is understood that in developed countries, GPS technology has been widely used in the transportation field. Many domestic logistics enterprises have just started to apply GPS.
Using GPS positioning can improve the management level of emergency logistics vehicle scheduling. Experts suggest that the popularization and application of GPS should be strengthened to monitor transport vehicles in real time. Once the transport vehicles have problems on the way, we can know the situation in time and put forward countermeasures. At present, all dangerous freight vehicles in Zhejiang Province have achieved GPS positioning.
Fourthly, the quality of employees affects the implementation of emergency logistics.
Emergency logistics requires employees to be risk-resistant, high-tech and beyond the limit. Risk refers to the poor environment in the whole transportation process, and the company generally does not drive in the normal operation process. A typical example is Wenchuan, Sichuan.
"5? 12 "The roads for transporting relief materials are mostly Grade III and IV roads, but many sections have been blocked by landslides and sundries, and the narrow roads that have been rushed through are just enough for one car to pass. Every time you cross flying rocks and landslides, it's like going through a gate of hell, so it's very important to buy insurance for the driver. High-tech refers to poor road conditions, which some drivers have never experienced in their lives. There are basically no maintenance points on the road, so it is very inconvenient to rescue broken cars. In case of emergency, everyone needs to be flexible. Over-limit: it means that the time can't be estimated normally during transportation, the team members can't have a decent meal and can't sleep peacefully. Fatigue driving is a normal thing, and emergency logistics needs hard-working drivers.
