Developing The Third Party Logistics Is Just In Time.

Introduction to experts

The national "12th Five-Year plan outline" proposed that we should vigorously develop the modern logistics industry: speed up the establishment of a socialized, specialized and information-based modern logistics service system; vigorously develop the third party logistics, give priority to the integration and utilization of the existing logistics resources, strengthen the establishment and convergence of the logistics infrastructure, improve the efficiency of logistics and reduce the logistics cost.

As far as our province is concerned, what are the requirements and opportunities for development of the logistics industry?

How can local logistics enterprises grow and expand with the rapid development of Sichuan's economy?

To this end, the reporter recently interviewed the "third party logistics system planning in Sichuan province" presided over, Southwest Jiao Tong University Logistics Research Institute Professor Zhang Jin.

The third party

Reporter: as a long-term scholar studying pportation and logistics, how do you evaluate the development of the third party logistics industry in our province?

Zhang Jin: the third party logistics, which is different from the seller's or buyer's self-reliance or self provided logistics, is a logistics industry mode specializing in logistics services besides the third main bodies outside the seller's and the buyer's side. It plays a role in reducing costs, improving efficiency and efficiency through providing full-time and socialized logistics services to buyers and sellers.

The provincial government regards the third party logistics as the wedge of developing modern logistics in our province.

The third party logistics represents an advanced social logistics mode and logistics service concept. The development of the third party logistics is to pform the traditional self-care logistics into a socialized, intensive, specialized and informational logistics mode.

Compared with DHL, UPS, OCL and other international logistics enterprises, our existing logistics enterprises still have a big gap in terms of total volume, scale and service quality.

From the perspective of service market capability, our local logistics enterprises are relatively small in scale, relatively few in function, and low in market concentration, and relatively scattered. In terms of service quality, they are mainly provided with low and medium grade logistics services, which are mainly pported and warehousing, and have little or no ability to supply chain integration or have the ability to provide global solutions.

Sichuan develops the third party logistics market main body, the logistics enterprise is relatively weak.

Reporter: compared with the traditional logistics mode, what is the superiority of the third party logistics?

Zhang Jin: it is a low cost logistics operation mode, which can greatly reduce the logistics cost of the whole society.

The third party logistics has broken through the limitation of the self logistics of a factory, and has reduced the common cost between the seller and the buyer through intensive pportation and storage, thus creating value for the enterprise.

From the point of view of service, the third party logistics provides specialized logistics services.

For example, the logistics of building materials specializes in the pportation, storage and circulation processing of building materials. Medical logistics specializes in the storage, distribution and pportation of medical products.

From the point of view of promoting core competitiveness, the third party logistics based on professional services can also realize the linkage development of service industry and manufacturing industry, promote the upgrading and upgrading of manufacturing industry, and improve the core competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises.

For example, automobile manufacturing, traditional automobile manufacturers should not only manage the market, but also manage production, sales, procurement, warehousing and pportation. How can they have time and energy for R & D and innovation?

With the three party logistics of automobile logistics, manufacturing enterprises can entrust all the non core businesses except R & D and design to the third party, concentrate on the main business and enhance their core competitiveness.

Third party logistics effective demand is being released.

Reporter: the development of logistics is built on the basis of traffic construction. Has the traffic bottleneck hindering Sichuan's development of the third party logistics has been broken?

Zhang Jin: to develop modern logistics, we must first have a well-developed comprehensive pportation network, including railways, highways, aviation, waterways and wharf stations. During the "11th Five-Year" period, great breakthrough has been made in the construction of comprehensive pportation hub in our province, and will be further improved during the "12th Five-Year" period. It can be said that the material and objective needs of developing the third party logistics in our province are already available.

As a typical inland economy, in the past, the comprehensive pportation system and logistics facilities in Sichuan were relatively backward. Buyers and sellers did not have much selectivity in choosing the circulation service, and the effective demand of the third party logistics has not been released enough.

The third party logistics is bound to flourishing.

Reporter: in the next five years, the pace of our province's industrial province will be accelerated, and we will continue to undertake various industries pferred from home and abroad.

How did this affect the development of logistics industry in 12th Five-Year?

Zhang Jin: at present, the industrial development of our province is in a critical period of the westward shift of the national industry.

Many of the world's top 500 enterprises and domestic and foreign industry giants will inspect the local logistics protection situation when they look for land. From Intel, Lenovo to Foxconn and Ren Bao, they will pfer to Chengdu to run factories. In addition to valuing the local land resources and labor resources, a very important factor is that they can see that the improvement of logistics conditions and traffic environment in recent years in Chengdu can meet their production needs after westward migration.

The westward shift of industry brings urgent and huge demands to the development of modern logistics in Sichuan. On the one hand, the raw materials of enterprises should come in, on the other hand, the finished products will go out; if our logistics conditions can not keep up, then Sichuan will lose the basic requirements to attract the industry and enterprises to settle down.

Therefore, in the future, the necessary channels and nodes for the development of modern logistics, as well as the necessary hardware infrastructure such as parks, logistics centers and stations, must maintain a dynamic development trend so as to meet the needs of building strong industrial province and undertaking industrial pfer.

Local enterprises need to innovate, and government services need to be strengthened.

Reporter: opportunities are just around the corner. How can local logistics enterprises gain a foothold and grow?

Zhang Jin: in order to survive and develop, local enterprises in Sichuan must first innovate to innovate in the mode of logistics service and improve the level of information management of logistics services.

At present, the informatization level of Sichuan's logistics enterprises is relatively low, so we need to apply the concept of informatization to every link of logistics.

The two is to expand services.

Many of our enterprises are satisfied with providing low-end services, such as freight forwarding, warehousing or some freight forwarding and distribution. We should also expand circulation processing, information labeling, packaging monitoring and logistics finance, such as inventory pledge.

The three is to make use of the similar advantages of local enterprises in geographically and culturally so as to provide targeted logistics services for local featured products and advantageous industries in Sichuan.

For example, Sichuan is rich in agricultural products, but we can not keep up with the cold chain services in the circulation of agricultural products. If local enterprises can do well in the process of cold chain temperature, humidity and monitoring of large parts, we can set up a new brand and image.

Reporter: as a guide and service provider for the development of logistics industry, what should governments at all levels do?

Zhang Jin: the government has a lot of things to do, but some things better not do it.

"Some things have better not be done" means that the government can not replace the market and should be scientifically promoted. Government departments are forced to take part in the construction of the park and interfere too much in the operation of enterprises.

"A lot of things can be done" means that first, governments at all levels should work out a clear target for the development of local logistics industry, promote the linkage and win-win between local logistics industry and local industry; two, the government should create a scientific and harmonious logistics development environment.

We must consciously regulate government actions and stop arbitrary charges and fines which impede the development of logistics enterprises.

The logistics industry can be tilted in logistics park planning, land approval, business administration, tax collection and other aspects, and logistics infrastructure will continue to be vigorously strengthened.

In the formulation of the third party logistics industry's access standard, neither threshold nor threshold is too low.
