The Application And Development Of The Third-party Medical Logistics In China

Pharmacy is among the industries with fastest growing and best Potential for the new era in the nation. The pharmacy product distribution firms in the nation have developed greatly since the 80th of last century. However, because the Pharmacy industry is an important component of Chinese national economy and a combination of traditional and modern industries, which combine the first, Second, third industries as one industry. and a typical high-tech industries and have high input, high risk, high-tech, high-return characteristics of the industry. Therefore, the medicine has always been strongly in the colors of the planned economy, the flow of drugs is the traditional production enterprises—large wholesalers—small wholesalers -drugstores, Hospital—consumers. Circulation tedious and low efficiency.With the rapid development of economy and the ever-increasing demand for medicine, the Pharmacy market gradually prosperity. user demand has emerged in small quantity, and timeliness of delivery types, in particular terminal drugstores. No more room for accumulation and storage of drugs, only stock small quantities. In this way, the enterprise get into a very passive situation : If the suppliers of goods not to keep up, it will lead to pharmacy drugs suspended. And the traditional logistics model will lead to repeation of storage inventory, cash flow slow and the increase in transport costs, Drugs to achieve timely delivery more difficultly. Moreover, after China joined to the WTO, opening up the field of Pharmacy distribution. advanced foreign Pharmacy enterprises as a result of the circulation of agency distribution system, the development of a modern distribution center to unified scientific management, a high efficiency on the development of modern logistics, sufficient to gradually swallowed the medicine domestic distribution market. This necessarily requires the development of a medicine circulation, and circulation is the key logistics. Pharmacy enterprises to enhance overall competitiveness, it is necessary to change the traditional mode of operation and management, and improve enterprise management. reduce logistics costs.In 2002 the former State Economic and Trade Commission has launched a medical logistics bond projects, making the domestic Pharmacy enterprises. Both production and sales of Pharmacy enterprises or enterprises have begun to develop Pharmacy logistics, Pharmacy logistics companies to set up logistics or organized medicine departments. Pharmacy logistics cause overheating, too dispersed, decentralized market, but generally the number of small-scale enterprises that are unable to achieve economies of scale. Furthermore, from an overall point of view, Pharmacy logistics still remain in circulation for the Pharmacy supply chain optimization and operation of a single link. Supply Chain Integration medical resources were not fully achieved, the level of Lean logistics management. Medicine existing third party logistics enterprises still remain from the traditional transport business, warehousing enterprises to medical logistics enterprise restructuring.In fact, medical logistics enterprises are not aware that they own the establishment of the logistics system. This will enable the things on the cross, it is not beneficial to concentrate on their core business. The decline caused the enterprise's core competitiveness. Moreover, even self-Pharmacy logistics system, it is impossible to fully implement all aspects of the logistics function Pharmacy logistics operation because there are many difficult problems to resolve themselves, need outside help.Moreover, they are not really the development of logistics, or is not all the logistics. Not just transport logistics, warehousing, logistics system is the only factor. The logistics of large foreign companies are often involved in the entire procurement services, production, sale, all aspects of the logistics for integrated planning and optimization of the overall program, The company also approved the logistics to ensure the implementation of this program. From this point of view, the various forms of integration with the logistics, to use modern methods of management operations, Logistics is the real meaning. The other hand, as market competition intensifies. has been the focus of competition among enterprises from external to internal price and service competition to control costs. logistics here can be viewed as a new opportunity to bring value-added networks, The logistics services provided by enterprises must also be able to meet the real needs of the logistics. Which only pure, Network and information to the most important characteristics of the third-party logistics enterprises can be a good solution to the problem.TPL is an emerging field, has been more and more concerned about their own third-party logistics is transportation, warehousing and other basic services as an important development. Compared with the traditional transport business, third-party logistics service is not limited to transportation, warehousing operations. It has more client-oriented logistics system's overall operational efficiency and effectiveness. supply chain management and optimize its core business, its business customers deeply touched to the sales plan inventory management, purchasing, production plans throughout the production process. far beyond the normal sense of the trading relationship with the customer, but tightly integrated into a whole. formed a strategic partnership.However, most third-party logistics enterprise are non-professional Pharmacy logistics enterprises, lack of medical knowledge and the legal csausal, unable to give comprehensive services, even including the areas of non logistics services. Medical services business must have a perfect knowledge of medicine because of the Pharmacy industry's particularity, only the professional can server for the third-party medical logistics others are not adapt.At present, medicine specializing in third-party medcial logistics companies are small and few are so good in China. However, the general trend in the development of medical and logistics, third party medical logistics has played an increasingly prominent role. Because it can use specialized knowledge to improve enterprise value chain, let businesses to focus on their core business operations. This is not only beneficial to enterprises to reduce costs, more importantly, it enables companies to examine and together their business processes, thereby optimizing the process. Therefore, although the ratio of the third-party medical logistics the medical use to operation is not high, but the outlook is very bright.The paper through the development of domestic and national medcial logistics, pointed out the shortcomings of modern logistics, and point out to establish a professional third-party logistics concept, explore the advantages and development strategy and put forward their views of third-partiy medical logistics enterprises . Finally, explore the road of development of medical logistics enterprises in the future.
