Contemporary Production Logistics Management Research

Contemporary production logistics needs more systematizing and flexibility because of adapting wants of modern production. So logistics management correspondingly changes centralizing management against decentralizing management,decision management including administer against administer management,opening management against closing management. Contemporary production logistics management mainly embodies modernization from three waysthe first is modernization of devices of production logistics;the second is modernization of management means of production logistics including using computers and their software;the third is modernization of management ideology of production logistics,that is systematizing and integrationizing.Contemporary production logistics management consists of four partsinformation management,material management,operation management and state controlling.Information management is the core and foundation of contemporary production logistics management. The process of production logistics actually is the process of material flowing and information flowing. The collection,disposal and transmission of information obey management needs in information flowing. So in the system of production logistics,material flowing is their goal. We must manage it that is on the basis of information for getting at the goal.Material management deals with all material that is wanted by production,for examples work blanks,tools,semi-manufactured goods,finished product and waster. Material management embodies inventory management. It manages the course of entering warehouse and going out warehouse and corresponds so that there is enough material to provide production. The aim of inventory management is that satisfying client,reducing the level of inventory,improving efficiency of logistics system and reducing the level of inventory,improving efficiency of logistics system and consolidating competitiveness of enterprise via controlling the level of enterprise inventory.For ensuring planning's completion we must efficiently control logistics on account of many factors not only inside of system but also outside influence the system of production logistics. In the system of production logistics it is theimportant that corresponds logistics and reduces the extent of changing of production and inventory. In this system stabilization is related with controlling principles. There are two typical controlling principles,pull system and push system. We need scientifically management methods for accurately knowing the situation of production logistics,finding differences between planning and reality,foreseeing holding the tide of logistics developing. MRP is representative method of push system. MRP brings material requirement planning. It has not thought its ability of completing the planning. So MRP II has been born.Operation management's mission is planning and attempering every devices of transaction,programming paths of transaction on the basis of wants of production process. So the material wanted can smoothly arrive correct position in time. It includes operation planning as well as operation controlling.The top issue of contempory production logistics is the management about " hardware" discussed above,;it includes the production logistics information management,material management,the situation supervision and control and business management. But the activities above cannot run smoothly without the supports from certain " software",including the goal of production logistics strategy,the adjustment of production logistics organization and procedure.If only the inner businesses of enterprise are optimized and integrated,it isn't rational to think the logistics will be optimal,because different departments and enterprises in the supply chain are involved in the logistics. The logistics rationalization is realized vheri putting the visual field ii whole supply chain,launching the logistics integration,assimilation and optimization.In the supply chain management all node business enterprises are dea...
