Logistics services reduce customer costs primarily are Tongguo enterprise supply chain process in the various segments of the integrated analysis and each factor controls to achieve, and in the process logistics management, is not only Xianyu transport and warehousing companies external transactionstangible costs, more importantly, through efficient logistics and distribution services to reduce customer costs of the various intangible.Japan put forward a logistics expert, "said the logistics iceberg" compared to all the logistics cost an iceberg, the tip of the iceberg above the water, but companies paid directly to the external unit is easy to calculate and grasp a small part of the logistics costs such as freight, handling chargesso, there is a most difficult place in the enterprise clearly defined and separate calculation of costs, it costs like a "dark continent" generally hidden in the water, the focus is to reduce business costs.According to analysis, all costs related to business logistics among the commission's external logistics costs account for 42.7%, while the internal indirect logistics costs accounted for 57.3%.Sinotrans reduce the cost of customers mainly from these two aspects, the logistics cost through dynamic analysis, to achieve the goal of maximizing enterprise logistics efficiency.Mainly as follows:
1, reducing the direct transport and distribution costs.Reduce the transportation, storage and other customers to reduce transaction costs of foreign direct total cost of logistics enterprises one aspect, the enterprises in this regard is often random, decentralized procurement capacity, the management of this extensive increase in the quality of service is not onecertainty, on the other hand also increases the transaction costs and management costs, the high cost of doing business has been one of the reasons.Through specialized transport logistics providers, distribution systems and professional management, not only to meet these problems, Xiangdigexiang transport, handling costs, and Qi Ye in the circulation process of the losses from Fengxian also can Dedao Youxiaozhuanyi.
2, "zero inventory" of the cost-effectiveness.Enterprise "Zero Inventory" is to reduce the cost of core elements, but also Sinotrans Logistics endeavors.The decrease of business inventories showed reduced storage costs and related storage, management and maintenance costs reduced.On the other hand, with the inventory reduction has brought the company a range of other potential costs.
The first is the lower cost of capital.As the corporate existence of long-term inventory, resulting in a lot of money and the backlog of the occupation.From the financial point of view, this in itself is a considerable cost, because money itself is a time value and opportunity cost.When a large number of funds in the stock was occupied by the state can not appreciate or can not be transferred, at a standstill and the invalid state, virtually lead to a massive loss of interest or investment income earned in other areas the opportunity cost of loss.Particularly in the field of high technology products, whether upstream or downstream of the original fittings storage inventories of manufactured goods are all small, high-value high-value items, taking up a huge amount of money, then reduce the logistics cost of capital effects of enterpriseeven more evident.
The second is the cost of risk reduction.The existence of a large number of stocks not only improve the cost of the enterprise, but also increased the company's business risk.Especially in the increasingly competitive market today, the rapidly changing market demand, the upgrading of enterprise products are accelerating the speed of the resulting commodity prices and growing demand for timeliness.Larger stocks of goods to face devaluation, the greater the risk eliminated.If China's mobile phone market, various types of mobile phone market prices very quickly, a lot of inventory backlog will inevitably lead to the risk of loss of time, many manufacturers have adopted low-volume, multi-batch production methods to meet changing marketcompetition, so more urgent demand for zero inventory.Meanwhile, the cost of risk is another manifestation of the existence of depreciation of goods, a significant reduction in inventory can be an effective business losses related to the transfer out of depreciation, which is an effective way to reduce business costs.
Of course, the "zero inventory" of the target is relative, not absolute, and in fact there are inventory costs and transportation costs of the balance.Achieve "zero inventory" of the conditions required to improve the quality of transport, which will inevitably lead to increased transport costs, transportation costs and inventory costs when the equilibrium state, then the inventory in the most optimal and most economic status.So, how to determine the best stocks of enterprises, but also provide customers with Sinotrans Group, one of logistics services.
3, optimizing cash flow, and improving capital efficiency.From the local point of view of logistics services can effectively promote the enterprises to reduce the cost, you can see from the overall flow of funds to further improve the business conditions to improve the efficiency of enterprise funds, thus the capital operations from a perspective of improving economic efficiency of enterprises.The whole process of supply chain management is global rather than local, long-term in nature and not temporary, this decision after the adoption of logistics services reduce customer costs in the process flow must be noted that the impact of enterprise funds and Wan Shan.In fact a successful logistics services for goods flow, information flow and capital flow integration and a high degree of organic unity.We can be so called, the goods flow is the external action, information flow is the technical means, while cash flow is the ultimate goal.Economic efficiency of enterprises by the cash flow is ultimately determined by the operation conditions, so the cost of management of logistics services is essentially cash flow needs of the enterprise's operation Efficiency as the Basis for, the higher the efficiency of corporate capital, cost of the rate greaterlarge, the more obvious economic benefits.Corporate cash flow is essentially a corporate campaign funds in the money capital, productive capital, commodity capital of three states on the process of capital flow, capital efficiency depends on the total amount of prepaid capital and the capital turnover rate of two factors.Inventory reduction can reduce the corporate capital advance for the production of total turnover rate of increase of capital by increasing the speed of business logistics and value-added services in the circulation process completed.Therefore, efficient distribution system and service capabilities with value-added logistics center is to boost the speed of the important conditions of capital turnover.
