Research On Terminal Transportation Cost Control Of JD Logistics In Northwest China

In 2018,the ratio of total social logistics expenses to GDP was 14.8%,compared with 8% in the United States.China's logistics cost is higher than that of overseas developed countries or even other Brics countries.The rapid development of e-commerce in recent years has brought about great demand for transportation and distribution.The business volume of express service enterprises increases year by year.Transportation is the core function and important factor of logistics cost.However,due to the different characteristics of the industry,we can not copy the traditional enterprise transport cost control methods to e-commerce enterprises.Therefore,it is necessary to find a suitable method of logistics and transportation cost control for e-commerce enterprises.This paper takes the terminal transportation cost control of JD logistics northwest branch as the object of analysis,it analyzes and studies the components of logistics transportation cost and aims to enrich the theoretical research on logistics and transportation cost control in the e-commerce industry.At the same time,it provides a referential example analysis for the logistics operation of B2 C e-commerce enterprises,such as JD,Amazon,Suning,Gome and Wal-Mart,as well as other express delivery companies in northwest China.First,this paper sorted out the relevant theoretical knowledge of logistics and transportation cost,elaborated the concept of logistics and transportation cost and cost control theory and method.Secondly,it introduces the overall operation mode of terminal transportation of JD logistics northwest branch.Through the comparison of the national data,the status quo of high terminal transportation cost is obtained,and the current cost control method is elaborated.Then through the data analysis comparison and the investigation research,has analyzed the terminal transportation cost control existence question,such as high empty load rate,unreasonable vehicle configuration,high idle cost,large vehicle loss and small thirdparty cooperation scope.The reasons are analyzed from internal and external environment.Finally,the control target of 10% cost reduction was set.The cost improvement plan includes developing socialized transportation system and optimizing internal cost control process.The implementation guarantee of the scheme includes assessment mechanism,personnel training and information input.This paper holds that transportation planning and scheduling are the key factors of pre-cost control,and the intelligence,informatization and visualization of cost management are the tools to ensure the improvement of internal cost control efficiency.In the choice of logistics mode.There are not only two solutions of self-operation and outsourcing,but the optimal balance for enterprise cost control can be achieved through the strategic cooperation of these two parties to varying degrees.In the future,we should develop a socialized transportation system,establish more in-depth and effective third-party transportation cooperation,accelerate the circulation of goods,meet market demand,and create more profits for enterprises while reducing costs.
