Storage function

In the logistics system, storage and transportation are also important factors. Warehousing functions included into the logistics system of goods for storage, management, storage, maintenance, maintenance and a series of activities. The role of warehousing mainly two aspects: one is to guarantee the use value and the value of the goods, the second is to delivery the goods to the user, the necessary processing in the center of the logistics activities and to save. With the development of economy, the logistics logistics by few varieties and large quantity to many varieties, small batch or batches and small batches of logistics, warehousing functions from attaches great importance to the storage efficiency gradually to attach importance to how to smoothly delivery and distribution operations. Circulation warehouse as logistics warehousing service function stronghold, play an important role in the circulation work, it will no longer storage security as its main purpose. Distribution warehouse including selection, distribution, inspection, classification of assignments and have many varieties, small batch, batches and small batch goods distribution function and the additional label, repackaging distribution processing and other functions. According to the purpose, the form of the warehouse can be divided into:

Distribution center (distribution center) warehouse: with the delivery, distribution and circulation processing function;

Warehouse storage center type: mainly storage warehouse;

Logistics central warehouse, storage, shipment, distribution, circulation processing function of the warehouse.

Modern warehousing logistics system function Settings, in the form of production support warehouse, for the relevant enterprises to provide a stable supply of parts and materials, the enterprise undertakes alone gradually into society public security reserves, reduce the risk of enterprise management, reduce logistics cost, prompting enterprises gradually form the zero inventory production material management mode.

Packaging function

In order to make the goods intact to the user in the process of logistics, and meet the requirements of users and the service object, need different ways on most goods, different levels of packaging. Divided into industrial packaging and packaging goods packaging. The role of industrial packaging is separated according to the unit product, easy to transport, and protect the goods in transit. The purpose of commodity packaging is to facilitate the final sales. Therefore, the function of the packaging to protect the goods, unit and facilitation and advertisements. First three logistics functions, the last item on the marketing function.

Handling functions

Over transport and storage and handling is necessary logistics activity, is the transport, storage, packaging, circulation processing and logistics activities such as the cohesion of the intermediate links, and in keeping of activities for the purpose of inspection, maintenance, maintenance of loading and unloading activities, such as the loading of the goods on the unload, transfer, sorting, classification, etc. Handling operation is the representative form of containerization and palletized, use of loading and unloading machinery such as cranes, forklift, conveyor belt and all kinds of car. In the whole process of logistics activities, handling activities are frequent. Damage is one of the important reasons. For handling management, mainly is the way of handling, loading and unloading handling equipment selection and rational allocation and use and handling the rationalization, minimize the number of handling, to save the logistics cost, achieve better economic benefit.

Circulation processing function

Circulation processing function is in the field of goods from production to consumption in the process of flow, in order to promote product sales, maintenance, product quality and realize the logistics efficiency, to processing, make items of physical or chemical changes in function. This further in the process of circulation of commodities of auxiliary processing, can make up for the enterprise, supplies department, business department in the process of production and processing level, more effectively meet the needs of users, to better link connecting production and demand, further rationalize circulation process, is an important value-added service of logistics activity, is also an important tendency of modern logistics development.

Processing and the contents of the bag, quantitative packaging, brand, labeling, distribution, tied to select, mixture, brush marks, etc. The circulation processing function mainly shown in: primary processing, convenient user; Improve the utilization rate of raw materials; Improve the machining efficiency and equipment utilization; Give full play to the maximum efficiency of various transportation means; Change the quality, increase income.

The distribution function

Distribution is a kind of special and comprehensive logistics activity form, is the business flow and logistics. From logistics, the logistics functions of distribution almost includes all elements, is an epitome of logistics or in a small range of all logistics activities. The general distribution set at a suit, handling, packaging, storage and transportation of the purpose of through this a series of activities to complete the goods delivered. Special distribution are also supported by processing activities, so include more widely. However, the distribution of main body activity and the general logistics are different, the general logistics, transport and storage, and distribution is transportation and sorting distribution, sorting distribution is the unique requirements of distribution, the distribution characteristics of activities, for the purpose of shipping transportation is finally realize the distribution of the main means, starting from the main measure, often to simplify the distribution as one kind of transportation. From the business flow, logistics distribution and the difference is that logistics is the product of commercial separation and distribution is, the product of the combination, the shipping itself is a form of business. Although distribution when the concrete implementation, there are also implemented in the form of business separation, but from the distribution trend of the development of the combination of business flow and logistics is more and more close, distribution is the important guarantee of success.

Distribution function, can adopt the form of concentrated inventory and common distribution logistics center, the user or service object to realize zero inventory, rely on logistics center delivery on time, without having to keep their own inventory or just keep a small amount of insurance reserves, reduce logistics costs. Distribution is one of the most important feature of modern logistics.

The information service function

Modern logistics is the need to rely on information technology to ensure that the logistics system to normal operation. Information service function of logistics system, including various functions associated with the above plan, forecast, dynamic (capacity, charge, and stock) fees associated with the intelligence and information, production information, market intelligence activities. Goods flow management of intelligence activity, request to establish information system and information channel, correctly selected subjects and intelligence collection, summary, statistic, use way, to ensure its reliability and timeliness.

From the point of the carrier of information and the service object, the function can also be divided into logistics information service function and commerce information service function. Flow information mainly includes information about the trading, such as sources of information, price information, market information, financial information, contract information, payment and settlement, etc. Business flow of transactions, contracts and other information, not only provides the result of the deal, also provides the basis of logistics, is main the confluence of two kinds of information flow; Logistics information is mainly logistics quantity, the logistics area, such as logistics cost information. Logistics information in the inventory information, is not only the result of the logistics, also be the basis of commercial circulation.

Logistics system must be based on the information service function of computer network technology and international general EDI based on information technology, can effectively achieve the logistics activity in the link of a series of accurate docking, truly create place "utility" and "time utility". Information service is, as it were, the logistics activities of central nervous system, the function in the logistics system in a indispensable important position.

The main function of information service is shown as: shorten from take order to delivery time. Inventory amount; To improve the working efficiency of the transportation; Improve the efficiency of transportation; Take order and send order more energy; To improve the accuracy of order processing; To prevent the delivery, delivery went wrong; Adjust the supply and demand; To provide information consultation, etc.
