The importance of distribution in warehousing contracts for warehousing e-commerce
With the gradual warming of logistics fever, urban logistics and distribution is increasingly emphasized and developed. In recent years, many of China's large and medium-sized cities have begun to build logistics distribution centers, logistics infrastructure gradually improved, the overall level of logistics technology has also begun to improve. Especially with the emergence of social distribution centers, distribution centers will be in the structure of a reorganization, specialized distribution centers will become a development trend. At present, China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" has been vigorously develop the logistics industry in an important position. Therefore, in the provinces of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" plan, are to support the development of logistics in the focus, which also developed a specific plan for the construction of urban logistics and distribution system. For example, Urumqi City, Xinjiang in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" pointed out that accelerate the construction of logistics parks, and vigorously develop integrated logistics centers, professional logistics centers and distribution centers, and actively promote the freight hub-type, warehousing and distribution, distribution centers, e-commerce type, "four major types of "modern logistics center construction, bigger and stronger a number of modern logistics distribution centers. Harbin also build to "logistics parks - logistics centers - logistics distribution outlets" as the support for logistics networks and logistics information platforms, traffic information platforms based on the city's logistics system included in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". The planning of Changping District in Beijing is more specific: it will vigorously integrate the existing logistics resources in the district, build a high-level "logistics park", accelerate the construction of logistics infrastructure, guide the relatively dispersed warehousing enterprises and transportation enterprises to focus on logistics parks, and attract domestic and foreign circulation capital and chain enterprises to enter logistics parks to carry out logistics and distribution business. Actively set up logistics development companies, the development of a number of specialized, large-scale third-party logistics and distribution enterprises. The professional logistics and distribution centers under construction include Huilongguan Oudebao Automobile Logistics and Distribution Area, Nankou Farm Logistics and Distribution Center, Beijing Foton Logistics Co., Ltd, New Century Mall Logistics and Distribution Center, Xiaotangshan Organic Food Specialized Market, Xiaotangshan Warm-Water Fish Collection and Distribution Market, and so on. Distribution centers built in various places, specialization has become a prominent feature. According to the Xiamen City Logistics Office, this year and next year, Xiamen City, there will be a number of professional logistics distribution centers and markets have been put into operation, the object of service from vegetables, building materials to the car, are closely related to people's lives. Among them, building materials logistics center is located in Tong'an District, the first phase of the project covers an area of 600 acres, by the building materials industry logistics park and cabinet industry logistics park consists of two parks. A total investment of 750 million yuan, plans to complete construction by the end of 2006 and put into operation. The park will gather some of Xiamen's large and medium-sized building materials logistics enterprises, including ceramics, panels, doors and windows, hardware, lighting, paint, fabrics, furniture and other more than two dozen categories; agricultural distribution center will continue to expand this year. The center is located in Huli District, Gaoqi Zhongpu, the market radiation of the Golden Triangle of southern Fujian and Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi and other provinces, is the mainland exports of agricultural products to Kinmen, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, an important base. The third phase of construction is currently underway. At the same time there has been built in southern Fujian fruit and vegetable wholesale market logistics service center and Xiamen livestock and poultry eggs wholesale trading market; automobile trading market has begun, is expected to be completed and put into use early next year; In addition, Xiamen is also in the Tong'an District Food Light Industrial Park planning and construction of Xiamen Pharmaceutical Station, Southwest Fujian pharmaceutical distribution network hub center. Center covers an area of 69,511 square meters, with a total construction area of 48,650 square meters, a project has been completed. Despite the strong momentum of urban distribution center construction, but China's logistics distribution there are still a number of issues that should not be ignored are worth noting: First, the distribution of small-scale, unbalanced development. The superiority of distribution in reaching a certain scale and a certain level, the formation of economies of scale can be fully realized. However, China has long been subject to industry restrictions, the impact of geographical division, logistics outlets do not have a unified layout, small, scattered, poorly dispersed state prevails, layer by layer to set up warehouses, line by line to set up a library of serious phenomena, resulting in the logistics of the irrational layout, on the basis of which the construction of the distribution center, the scale of the degree of the overall efficiency of the community can not be improved, not a scale of the advantages of the two sides of the distribution of the resulting frustration of the enthusiasm of both sides. In addition, the enterprise group for the object of the internal development of specialized distribution faster, while the development of regional distribution for the community is lagging behind, which has formed a social distribution resources idle and duplication of the outstanding contradictions in the configuration. Second, the low degree of modernization of the distribution center. At present, China's distribution center computer application degree is low, limited to the day-to-day management of affairs, and for the logistics of many important decision-making issues, such as the location of distribution centers, cargo grouping and allocation of programs, the best routes for transport, the optimal inventory control, etc., is still in the semi-artificial decision-making state, to adapt to the specific operation of the development of logistics information systems lagging behind. At the same time, the degree of mechanization is low, basically the original logistics facilities transferred, both technology and equipment are relatively obsolete, some distribution centers are essentially equivalent to the original warehouse, the function is also limited to the original warehouse storage, storage, with foreign integration of electromechanical, paperless as the characteristics of the distribution of automation, modernization, compared with, there is still a considerable gap. In addition, the overall level of logistics technology is relatively backward, specifically in transportation technology, storage and custody technology, loading and unloading handling technology, packaging technology, distribution processing technology and logistics are closely related to the information processing technology, compared with foreign advanced technology, the gap is not small. Third, the distribution center's function is not sound. Distribution is a set of many circulation functions in one of the modern distribution center, especially emphasizing the coordination and integration of functions. Its basic functions far beyond warehousing and transportation. Most of China's current distribution centers act as warehouses and transport transfer station role.
