Things have a direct impact on manufacturing logistics information

Logistics refers to the flow of manufacturing goods manufacturing companies due to raw material procurement, production , product storage , product transport, product sales, service and a series of production and sales activities generated by the flow of information , the process of capital movement is to ensure that raw material is converted into finished products necessary to support the process . According to the supply chain can be divided into supply logistics , production logistics , distribution logistics , recycling , logistics, waste stream , which runs through the manufacturing purchasing , production and sale of the entire process , supporting the efficient operation of the manufacturing sector.

Things have become the second computer, the Internet and mobile communications, the world's third wave of the information industry , is highly concerned governments . 2009 United States proposed the " wisdom of the Earth" concept , the EU proposed the " Internet of Things - Europe Action Plan " , Japan and Korea were made ​​"i-Japan" and "u-Korea" strategy , China's proposed " Experience China " program . So far things have been elevated to the national strategic level , forming a new networking industry , things become a new economic growth point.

Things as information technology development, multi- sector , multi-field of information technology have a profound impact . Manufacturing Logistics Information is manufacturing information integration of information technology and logistics , manufacturing things will undoubtedly have a direct impact on logistics information .

Manufacturing logistics and manufacturing logistics information content

( A ) Manufacturing Logistics

Logistics refers to the flow of manufacturing goods manufacturing companies due to raw material procurement, production , product storage , product transport, product sales, service and a series of production and sales activities generated by the flow of information , the process of capital movement is to ensure that raw material is converted into finished products necessary to support the process . According to the supply chain can be divided into supply logistics , production logistics , distribution logistics , recycling , logistics, waste stream , which runs through the manufacturing purchasing , production and sale of the entire process , supporting the efficient operation of the manufacturing sector.

(B ) Manufacturing Logistics Information

Manufacturing Logistics Information can be understood at two levels , one is from the perspective of the manufacturing enterprise to achieve manufacturing enterprise logistics information technology, logistics and information technology in the logistics industry , through the combination of information technology and manufacturing techniques to build integrated logistics management information systems, the use of information systems to control manufacturing enterprise production, supply and marketing all aspects of the logistics operation to solve manufacturing enterprise information collection , transmission, sharing, and interoperability between the various independent information system problems achieve synchronous communication between business processes and information technology sector information sharing. Second, from the perspective of the supply chain , to achieve manufacturing supply chain logistics information technology, the use of network technology makes enterprise information system and its downstream docking enterprise information systems , government regulators and external social logistics network connection , to form the basis of the supply chain logistics information platform, external resource sharing, information sharing .

China's manufacturing development of logistics information

( A ) logistics information technology is widely used in manufacturing enterprises

With the joint development of manufacturing and logistics industry , logistics and manufacturing companies to continuously improve the level of information , logistics and information technology has been widely used in manufacturing .

( 2) ERP systems and logistics simulation software is widely used in manufacturing enterprises

Currently the main way to achieve manufacturing enterprise information technology is implemented ERP systems. ERP system is built on information technology , based on a systematic management thinking , providing a means of decision-making operation management platform . It is essentially the use of information technology, material flow , capital flow and information flow for highly integrated process management is the essence of integrated supply chain management . Our ERP industry has developed rapidly , increasing the size of the ERP market each year from 37.8 billion yuan in 2008 to 2011 of 7.09 billion yuan , an increase of 188% . Enterprises in the process of implementing ERP systems , to enhance the level of manufacturing logistics information .

Logistics simulation software is mainly used in the field of manufacturing and supply chain management. Production logistics simulation system simulation process is repeated to achieve a balance of production logistics , energy balance , capacity balancing , time balance , to produce optimized system structure and function optimization. Logistics simulation software needs to combine with the ERP system , at present, to achieve ERP systems and integrated logistics simulation software technology has been the main support applications become more sophisticated, some large companies began manufacturing ERP software utilization and logistics simulation software to solve manufacturing and logistics operations in practical problems.

China's manufacturing logistics and information technology development Problems

( A ) manufacturing and logistics industry low degree of integration of information resources

Most logistics companies and manufacturing enterprises have established their own information systems. But logistics companies and manufacturers of information resources are relatively independent , not well integrated information systems , information exchange and sharing of resources can not be effective , there is a serious "islands of information " and information asymmetries . Logistics and manufacturing information can not be linked to form , reducing the ability to respond to manufacturing logistics services , restricting the joint development of manufacturing and logistics industry .

(B ) the low overall level of manufacturing logistics information

From the manufacturing sector as a whole, manufacturing logistics informatization level is still low. Survey data show that China's large-scale manufacturing enterprise site logistics using Kanban accounted for 25% , the use of JIT distribution accounted for 11% , the use of raw materials, direct labor position of 44% , the use of lean logistics management 6% , the use of bar code information system 13% , the use of enterprise logistics system integrated ratio of 13%. Most SMEs logistics information still blank. This situation will seriously affect the manufacturing resource integration .

(C ) manufacturing logistics information platform more slowly

The past two years , the logistics information platform construction in full swing , but the logistics information platform confined to sectors and regions , such as a higher degree of information logistics and manufacturing industries , such as: tobacco , steel, automotive, electronics , clothing, beverages , etc. have the construction industry logistics information platform. But the supply chain , based on the integration of the supply chain upstream and downstream resource efficient, agile manufacturing logistics information platform , supply chain integration platform is also rare.

(D ) the low level of standardization of logistics information industry

Manufacturing Logistics Information Standards and logistics information standards are not unified, the former overall level is low, such as product coding standards, data exchange standard logistics information between enterprises, logistics information platform standards is not completely unified , enterprise selection criteria and making implementation process is not effectively guide government , industry associations and professional bodies. Standardization of enterprise information lag affects the manufacturing logistics information technology development process.
