As China's logistics industry is still in its infancy, the study of logistics information system is not enough, especially from the circulation to penetrate areas of production, logistics and information technology development is even more lag. This situation limits the logistics activities to specialized, information-oriented, the existing logistics companies can not develop a huge market, the cost of natural capital is not enough to improve their information technology infrastructure and information management.
In recent years, China's logistics industry, carrying the country's policy logistics and express in the revitalization plan has made significant hardware construction, the development of the logistics industry's rapid development is inseparable from the logistics information technology, logistics information technology can further improve logistics efficiency and reduce logistics costs, Therefore, the Brocade IT Logistics Supply Chain Research Center for China's logistics industry is currently carried out survey of the development of information technology, summed up the status quo of China's logistics information, and propose solutions.
At present, China Logistics Information made initial progress. Through the EDI system for logistics data interchange, implementation of work activities and related value-added logistics services, bar code applications for the chain of distribution of information management foundation, GPS systems, vehicle tracking systems technology development and application has just started, is commonly used in tracking mode phone . Logistics management system development and application of beginning to get attention, some of the larger logistics companies set up a software development department, paid employment logistics management logistics software development personnel, foreign applications of information management systems driven by the logistics of information management, domestic information led to Brocade's business management software vendors have developed integrated logistics information system. Shape the information infrastructure to provide the logistics industry development of the initial condition information. Have been initially built a nationwide backbone transmission network, and on this basis to build a five-grid Bureau, realized from the artificial network, the analog network, a single service network, respectively, from the Network to the digital network and diversified business network transformation, as logistics information to create the basic conditions. China's logistics industry, the level of development of information technology to be further improved.
As China's logistics industry is still in its infancy, the study of logistics information system is not enough, especially from the circulation to penetrate areas of production, logistics and information technology development is even more lag. China's modern logistics industry faces the dual task of information and marketization. As the concepts and systems and other reasons, China's traditional and logistics-related industries, though they have the overwhelming majority of logistics hardware resources, but clearly in the logistics process of development in a backward state, faced with the conceptual and institutional changes to the modern logistics , while also facing the logistics and logistics information technology transformation. It is necessary to use information technology to integrate internal business processes.
China's logistics industry, application of information technology is still relatively low, the information system construction is lagging behind. Mainly within the enterprise logistics information management and technology are still relatively backward, such as bar codes, GPS, materials procurement and management (MRP) and enterprise resource planning (ERP), logistics management software application in the logistics field level is low. Lack the necessary public logistics information exchange platform. To EDI, Internet-based logistics information system in the country has not been widely used. Information is not enough funding for construction of infrastructure, network penetration and application of low level, internet speed, broadband capacity and the fees and other aspects of the issue outstanding. These logistics information process poses a considerable obstacle restricting the development of logistics information. As the information technology applications in the field of logistics there is a great gap compared with developed countries, China's logistics industry is also difficult to meet the industrial and commercial enterprises for ever-increasing demands of logistics services, logistics services of poor quality, modern logistics requirements of full control, but as a means of control of information systems, network systems and GPS tracking means limited to technology, awareness and financial and other reasons, very few logistics companies to apply.
(A) the logistics of information is low.
Mainly because of the high cost of most systems, the starting point for SMEs is very low, the market started on the lack of suitable information systems for SMEs, and most developers generally agreed that the logistics information not available at the low end market value for development. Logistics is a network organization, is the integration of multiple enterprise resources, an enterprise no matter how high the level of information logistics, and related transportation, packaging, warehousing, sorting and other enterprise information to cooperate with the low level of co-operation efficiency are difficult to improve.
(B) the logistics information platform has not been established.
The establishment of commercial distribution and storage and transportation enterprise unified information platform to achieve full sharing of information resources and exchange, the current logistics and information technology to achieve core and key. The establishment of logistics information platform, can promote the establishment of modern logistics and distribution center, to further improve the logistics management industry. Logistics information platform for the construction of the key issues is what kind of technology or standards for different systems of data exchange and integration. This relates specifically to the trading software and logistics software, docking, storage and transportation contracts of sale docking, docking and other clearing systems integration issues. Integration of information systems requires the buyer, seller and third-party logistics to move data between many entities and transfer instructions, traditional EDI is a very powerful large-scale enterprises preferred data exchange tool, but it has many problems limiting its development logistics information platform construction issues must be resolved.
(C) the lack of logistics information external extensions.
Currently, the logistics information is still hot inside information, in addition to the first retail presence may be of logistics information technology, other industries, including most of the enterprise's logistics information not to the furnace, mainly due to a lack of maturity and competitive business pressures sense, the enterprise customer demand is still no pressure. At present, enterprises are still in the hot phase of the internal information technology, most of the industry as a logistics information only to the internal ERP out an extension. Most enterprises are still the basic information needs as the main content of current information, 72 percent of enterprises are still the office automation as the focus of the coming year, 60 percent of enterprises will finance the extension of ERP as the next stage focus.
(Iv) information technology in logistics applications is still relatively small.
In the logistics business, information technology level is rather backward. 2009 China's logistics enterprises, only 50% of companies have logistics information system, the vast majority of logistics enterprises do not yet have the use of modern information technology, logistics and information processing ability. Have information systems in logistics services business, its information systems business functions and system function is not perfect, the ability to integrate logistics information resources has not yet formed, lacks the necessary long-range communication capabilities and decision-making capabilities. This shows that China's logistics enterprises with less information, has restricted the development of Chinese logistics enterprises to improve competitiveness and technological bottleneck.
(E) the existence of logistics information technology research and development short board.
Although the number of outstanding logistics supply chain software vendors continue to emerge, the Brocade IT in the logistics supply chain software research and development has gone beyond the world's leading software vendors SAP, but in the logistics network design and optimization of the lack of guidance into the system.
(Vi) lack of third-party logistics enterprise development.
Modern logistics management requires not only all aspects of logistics automation, intelligence, logistics operation and requires a variety of business, namely procurement, logistics, production logistics, distribution logistics, recycling logistics professional, efficient, which requires an independent logistics enterprises to adopt all kinds of advanced hardware and software systems for the logistics activities of the organization. But by the constraints of the current operating system, the majority of our logistics business activities done by the own organization within the enterprise. The figures show: in the industrial enterprises, 36% and 46% of the raw materials, logistics and supply-side by the enterprise's own corporate commitment undertaken by a third-party logistics companies is only 18%. Product sales and distribution by third party logistics companies take care of themselves and the proportion of shared 24.1%, respectively, and 59.8%, but by the third-party logistics enterprises of only 16.1%. This situation limits the logistics activities to specialized, information-oriented, the existing logistics companies can not develop a huge market, the cost of natural capital is not enough to improve their information technology infrastructure and information management.
