Study For Railway Freight Yard Transition To A Modern Logistics Center

Relying on the existing rail freight terminal resources to accelerate its transformation of modern logistics center in China is the objective requirements for an integrated transport and logistics system and an important strategic choice for rail freight reform and development. It is also an important strategic initiative that plays railways' comparative advantage and builds a harmonious railway, and is of the profound and long-term strategic significance and major and urgent practical significance for the achievement of good and fast development for rail freight.Firstly, this paper analyzed the similarities and differences between a modern logistics center and the railway freight terminal, and it then summed up the inevitability of railway freight terminal transition to a modern logistics center. It also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the transition, and based on it, related strategies was put forward including categories transition strategy, functional strategies and business strategy. Secondly, implementation methods on the railway freight terminal transition to a modern logistics center had been studied, after applying the thinking of the BPR, the rail freight terminal processes was reengineered, through the advantages of processes that was reengineered, we described the feasibility of recycling. It also studied on the reorganization of organizational structure issue on the basic of process reengineering of the rail freight terminal. And then it used the method of CRAFT to optimize the existing rail freight yard warehouses, and through examples of how to optimize the integrated freight stations and professional terminal, it proved this method's feasibility and effectiveness. Finally, safeguards of application of the transition was given, the paper used the case of Changde in this field, corroborated that the railway freight terminal transition to a modern logistics center was necessary and feasible, but also proved the method adopted by the article and the conclusions was correct.
