Introduction

Since the production activities, Warehousing appeared, which is an important part of production activities, and developed with the development of production, and experienced different stages in its development process. With the rise of China's manufacturing industry, the logistics industry has also developed rapidly, and warehousing has attracted more and more attention from manufacturers and society, which has greatly promoted people's research on warehousing theory and made it gradually develop and improve, thus becoming an independent discipline. With the development of modern commercial competition, the role of traditional warehouse is constantly changing. One of the most obvious changes is that warehouse is no longer regarded as just a storage place for goods, but now it is a Distribution Center, which is a channel for transferring goods to consumers and parts to manufacturers. In the past, people didn't know how much efficiency and benefits this channel had hidden, or turned a blind eye to its functions because of the limitations of the environment; Today, the fierce competition among enterprises has not allowed operators to easily give up any opportunity to increase efficiency, and warehouse management has become an indispensable part of logistics supply chain management.

1. The development process of warehousing

1.1 Manual and mechanized warehousing stage

At this stage, the transportation, warehousing, management and control of materials are mainly realized by manual and auxiliary machinery. Materials can be moved and transported by various conveyor belts, industrial transport vehicles, manipulators, cranes, stackers and elevators, stored by shelf pallets and movable shelves, operated by manual mechanical access devices, and operated by control devices such as limit switches, screw mechanical brakes and mechanical monitors. Mechanization meets people's requirements for speed, accuracy, height, weight, repeated access and handling, and its timeliness and intuition are obvious advantages.

1.2 automatic warehousing stage

automation technology has played an important role in promoting warehousing technology and development. Since the late 1951s, automatic guided vehicle (AVG), automatic shelf, automatic access robot, automatic identification and automatic sorting system have been developed and adopted. By the 1971s, revolving shelves, mobile shelves, roadway stackers and other handling equipment had all joined the ranks of automatic control, but they were only partially automated and applied independently, and were called "automation islands".

with the development of computer technology, the focus of work has shifted to the control and management of materials, which requires real-time, coordination and integration. The communication between computers, data acquisition points, controllers of mechanical equipment and between them and the main computer can summarize information in time. The warehouse computer can record the ordering and arrival time in time and display the inventory. Planners can make supply decisions conveniently, and managers can grasp the supply and demand at any time.

the application of information technology has become an important pillar of warehousing technology. By the end of 1971s, automation technology was increasingly applied to the fields of production and distribution. "Automation island" needs integration, so the concept of "integrated system" is formed. In the integrated system, the organic cooperation of the whole system makes the overall benefit and production adaptability greatly exceed the sum of the independent benefits of each part. As the center of material storage in CIMS (Computer Integrated Manufacturing System), the integrated warehouse technology has attracted people's attention, which includes people, equipment and control system.

1.3 intelligent warehousing stage

On the basis of automatic warehousing, we continue to study, realize the integration with other information decision-making systems, and develop towards intelligent and fuzzy control. Artificial intelligence promotes the development of warehousing technology, that is, intelligent warehousing. Now the intelligent storage technology is still in the primary development stage, and the intelligence of storage technology in the 21th century will have broad application prospects.

II. The important role of warehousing in enterprise logistics system

The important role of warehousing in enterprise logistics system is mainly manifested in the following aspects

2.1 Reducing transportation costs and improving transportation efficiency

Large-scale and whole-vehicle transportation will bring transportation economy. In terms of supply logistics, enterprises mostly buy raw materials from multiple suppliers in small batches and transport them to warehouses, and then pack them and transport them to factories. As the vehicle transportation rate is lower than the LTL transportation rate, it will greatly reduce the transportation cost and improve the transportation efficiency. In terms of sales logistics, enterprises transport the products of various factories to the market warehouse in large quantities, and then transport them to the market or customers in small quantities according to customer requirements. The function of this warehouse is not only LCL shipment, but also product integration according to customer requirements. In addition, the transportation capacity of various means of transport is very different, and the transportation capacity between them is very mismatched. Therefore, the warehouse also has the function of regulating the difference in transportation capacity.

2.2 product integration

if the factors such as color, size and shape are taken into account, a product line of an enterprise includes thousands of different products, which are often produced in different factories. According to the requirements of customers, the enterprise can match, combine and package the products in the warehouse and then ship them to customers everywhere. Otherwise, meeting orders from different factories will lead to different delivery times. In addition to meeting the product integration demand ordered by customers, it is also economical for enterprises that use raw materials or spare parts to combine raw materials or spare parts from different sources from the supply warehouse and transport the whole vehicle to the factory to meet the demand.

Simple storage and custody warehouse can't meet the needs of production and market. It has become a development direction of modern warehouse to increase the functions of distribution and distribution processing and develop in the direction of circulation warehouse.

2.3 Support the sales service of enterprises

The warehouse is reasonably close to customers, so that products can reach customers in time, which will improve customer satisfaction and expand enterprise sales, which is particularly important for enterprises to produce finished goods warehouses.

2.4 regulating supply and demand

because there is more or less time or space difference between production and consumption, warehousing can improve the time utility of products, adjust the time contradiction between balanced production and centralized consumption, or balanced consumption and centralized production.

III. * * Current situation of international logistics group

** Logistics was founded in May, 1993. Since its establishment, it has always adhered to the corporate purpose of "people-oriented, efficient and pragmatic, and * * * creating the future". Forge ahead, make unremitting efforts, strive to develop and actively innovate. The company continues to grow and develop. Now the Group has a number of subsidiaries, set up branches in large and medium-sized ports, major cities and mainland China, and gradually extended its services to major ports and cities on five continents through international cooperation, thus forming a strong customer service network and gradually forming a huge logistics service system covering the whole country and radiating the whole world.

At present, the businesses involved in the Group include international transportation agents, shipping agents, container yards, bonded warehouses, land transportation, door-to-door services and electronic data exchange technical services. In order to keep pace with internationalization, the company has successively joined domestic and international trade associations such as CIFA (China International Freight Forwarders Association), WCA (World Freight Union), CGLN (China Global Logistics Network) and FIATA (International Freight Union), and passed the ISO9111 quality certification of British Standardization Association. At the same time, Keyun Logistics also has all the service platforms that large-scale specialized logistics companies should have. These include: national first-class freight forwarders, NVOCC qualifications, international shipping agents, air first-class agents, customs supervised warehouses, members of the US Federal Maritime Commission, etc.

** The development goal of logistics is to be based in China. Relying on complete industry qualifications, perfect logistics platform, intensive international and domestic service networks, group advantages and e-commerce platform in line with future development trends, we will provide domestic and foreign customers with increasingly perfect logistics solutions.

IV. * * The present situation and causes of the existing warehousing system of logistics

4.1 The modernization of the warehouse is low, the equipment is outdated and backward

Many of them are still in the original state of manual operation, and people are afraid of each other and work efficiency is low. Goods can't get in or out, stay in the warehouse for too long, or are damaged, mildewed and seriously lost due to poor storage, which increases the logistics cost. This is related to the economic strength and long-term planning of the enterprise. Enterprises only use it as a place to store goods, so the requirements for equipment modernization are very low. Moreover, cheap labor makes enterprises give up the plan to transform equipment, and the manual work makes people not idle. The idea of "not afraid of slowness, but afraid of standing" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, which reduces work efficiency.

4.2 Unreasonable warehouse layout

Due to the uncertainty of enterprise business, different kinds of scattered items occupy a large warehouse area, which greatly reduces the utilization rate of the warehouse; Moreover, the stacking and zoning are very chaotic, which brings a lot of inconvenience to warehousing and inventory. Often, the keeper is looking back and forth in the warehouse with a bill of lading, which affects work efficiency, distribution and service quality.

4.3 The inventory cost is too high

At present, enterprises do not have a set of inventory control strategies, including economic order quantity, receiving interval, receiving point, safety or insurance inventory, etc. When the supply of some goods exceeds the demand, it will cause a backlog and waste manpower, material resources and financial resources; When the supply is less than the demand, it hinders the normal production and sales of enterprises, which not only brings economic losses, but also makes enterprises lose credibility. On the other hand, it is damaged, deteriorated and the inventory formed by the failure to deal with the goods claimed in time. The warehousing department of an enterprise is not closely connected with the customer service department, and the information transmission is slow. The process of handling the documents of damaged and deteriorated goods and submitting them for approval at different levels is complicated, and even the responsibility is not clear, which leads to the increase of inventory and the increase of inventory cost.

4.4 The warehouse management information system is not complete, and its informatization and networking are low

This is influenced by the economic strength, personnel quality and modernization consciousness of enterprises. At present, there is only one computer in the enterprise's storage and transportation department, which can only complete the work of receiving orders, recording accounts, processing return orders, reporting losses, returning factories, inquiring, etc. The workload is heavy and complicated, and it is easy to make mistakes, which also affects the information transmission and inventory management control in the whole management chain.

4.5 The quality of employees is low

There is a great disparity in the employment of employees in Keyun Logistics. Grass-roots employees can't accept the ideas of senior managers, which leads to errors in their work, and even causes resistance. Grass-roots employees pretend in the process of learning and training, muddle through their work, and work hours become entertainment hours. Some employees also bring home work to work, and their style is sloppy, and they don't do their best to their jobs, let alone talk about it.

in view of these present situations, how can enterprises give full play to their potential in a wide range of space so as not to be eliminated? In my opinion, in addition to introducing advanced technology and talents, integrating marketing, establishing the concept of global competition, opening up the international market and taking the road of international operation, it is more important for enterprises to implement internal reforms according to their unique advantages, improve management and introduce technology, and strengthen the cultural construction of enterprises, so as to promote the rapid development of Keyun logistics.

V. Suggestions and methods for rationalization of enterprise storage system

5.1 Pay attention to the technical transformation of the original warehouse and accelerate the modernization of warehousing

At present, the types of warehouses in the logistics industry are mainly divided into raw materials and finished products warehouses in production logistics and strategic warehouses in sales logistics, and most enterprises prefer to adopt the three-dimensional warehouse mode of engaging in shelves combined with narrow passages and driving three-way stacking forklifts at high positions. On this basis, according to the actual needs, as far as possible, introduce foreign advanced warehousing management experience and modern logistics technology.
