From the employment point of view, logistics management is more adaptable.
No matter which program you major in, you need to learn English well, which is a must in export-oriented or international logistics business.
Three years after graduation through the Ministry of Labor (applicable to state-owned enterprises) or the China Federation of Materials (industry generally recognized) of the senior logistician is very necessary, not only to enhance their theoretical level, but also on the logistics aspects of the best accumulation of work experience and summarize the level of the profession is indispensable for further enhancement.
To understand the differences and similarities between the two, first we need to understand the concept of the two and the object of study is what:
1. Logistics Engineering (Logistics Engineering), is a logistics system as the object of study, the study of the logistics system planning and design and optimization of the allocation of resources, the logistics process of planning and control, as well as business management of engineering. The field of logistics engineering. Modern logistics as an emerging comprehensive edge science, in developed countries have earlier, more comprehensive research, and formed a series of theories and methods to guide the development of its logistics industry plays an important role. Logistics engineering is a cross-discipline of management and technology, which is closely related to transportation engineering, management science and engineering, industrial engineering, computer technology, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, architecture and civil engineering and other fields.
The discipline of logistics engineering is mainly concerned with the whole process of planning, design, implementation and management of logistics systems. Facility design is the soul of the project, planning and design is a prerequisite for the advantages and disadvantages of the logistics system, logistics engineering provides a software and hardware platform for the logistics system. A good logistics system can not only stay in the planning stage, need to be realized through specific engineering construction, logistics engineering implementation process is to complete the entire system of hardware design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and other processes, but also need to plan the function of the software. In the process of analyzing, designing and realizing the logistics system, it is necessary to consider not only its economic index, but also its technical advancement and scientificity. Therefore, the discipline of logistics engineering is mainly based on the discipline of engineering as its theoretical foundation, which is both a technical discipline, but also the penetration of economic and management disciplines.
2. Logistics Management (Logistics Management) refers to the society in the production process, according to the law of physical flow of material information, the application of the basic principles of management and scientific methods, logistics activities for planning, organization, command, coordination, control and supervision, so that the logistics activities to achieve optimal coordination and cooperation, in order to reduce logistics costs, improve logistics efficiency and economic benefits. efficiency and economic benefits. Modern logistics management is based on system theory, information theory and cybernetics. Logistics is composed of commodity transportation, distribution, warehousing, packaging, handling, circulation processing, and related logistics information. The specific content of logistics activities include the following aspects: user services, demand forecasting, order processing, distribution, inventory control, transportation, warehouse management, layout and location of factories and warehouses, handling, procurement, packaging, intelligence information.
Logistics management science is a new discipline in foreign countries since the last decade or two, it is a new important branch of management science. With the improvement of production technology and management technology, competition between enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce, people gradually found that enterprises in the reduction of production costs in the competition seems to have come to an end, the quality of the product is only a good or bad enterprise can enter the market to participate in the competition of the knocking brick. At this time, the focus of competition began to shift from the production field to the non-production field, to the past those scattered, isolated, is regarded as an auxiliary link and is not valued, such as transportation, storage, packaging, loading and unloading, circulation and processing and other logistics activities in the field. People began to study how to reduce logistics costs in these areas, improve the quality of service, to create a "third source of profit". Logistics management from the traditional production and sales activities of enterprises separated from the independent field of research and the scope of the discipline.
By the above concept of the two, the field of research and the role of the view:
The difference between the two: logistics engineering is more technology and engineering, focusing on the entire logistics process of hardware design; and logistics management focus on management planning, more emphasis on the processing of information and other software, and customer communication more is also done in logistics management.
The two are the same: rational planning and management of the entire logistics system, low-cost short-term high efficiency is the two **** the same purpose.
