Research On Operation And Management Of Railway Logistics Center

Railway freight station has been in operation under the traditional management mode of planned economy for many years. Facing with market economy, especially when commodity production and machining come forward to the trend of individualization and J.I.T(Just In Time), railway freight station can hardly meet the market demand in agility and through transportation and service quality. Railway freight corporation will surely change from single-service mode of transportation to multi-service mode of logistics. Railway freight station changing into logistics center is fairly a good way. This thesis gives a systemized research on operation and management of railway logistics center, in order to provide a reference when railway freight station carries out strategic decision and management of operating logistics center. Therefore this research has very important academic value and practical value. The main research contents and conclusions are here:1. Beginning with the analysis of foreign and domestic present situation of logistics and railway, the thesis analyzes how new operation modes of railway transportation affect railway freight station, then it expounds the necessity and feasibility of railway freight station changing into logistics center.2. The thesis expounds the basic theory of railway logistics center, including the conception and functions of railway logistics center, the basic features and types of railway logistics center, and the analysis on the differences of operation process of railway freight station and those of railway logistics center and general logistics center.3. In the light of the features of railway logistics center, the thesis brings forward several operations modes and organization modes of railway logistics center, and analyzes the customer servicemanagement of it.4. Information system is the basis of effective operation of railway logistics center. The formation of railway logistics center information system is expounded from several points: the functions, the functional structure, the network structure, and the development and realization of railway logistics center.5. These aspects are also discussed: the realization modes of railway logistics center, the development modes of railway logistics center, realization steps of railway logistics center, and some measures of railway logistics center development.
