handling, transportation
and distribution?

Question
ons
l Answer:

l Handling-refers
to the
logistics activities of
moving goods horizontally
or vertically at a certain
distance in the same place.

l 10. What
are the two elements
of network routing? And
take the logistics network
as an example to illustrate
the meaning of these two
elements.

Question
ions
l A: is a so-called network

node (Node) ,
connections (Link) [ also
directional ] constituted.
l Node: It is a location for

storing, processing, and

selling commodities. For
example: the factory's raw
material warehouse,
finished product warehouse,
logistics center,
maintenance center, store,
etc.
l Connection: It is a method

used to express
transportation and physical
flow. This expression is
used as a logistics
system has activities
between all kinds of
information about the order
and its processes. For
example, it can
express information such as
the mode of
transportation , time,
distance, and cost between
points .
Short answer

l 11. What are
the 4Ds
in logistics 4D analysis ? A
nd briefly describe it.

Question
ions
l Answer: Demand , Duration , Distanc

e and Destination .
l (1) Demand: refers to the total

demand, the frequency of demand,

and the time of demand.
l (2) Duration:
This is about a
period of demand.
l (3) Distance: refers to the

distance between points in the

logistics system ; time can also
be used to represent the concept
of distance.
l (4) Destination: Destination does

not necessarily refer to the

real destination of the product
or service, but refers to the
place where the product is
sent ( including the place
of stopover ) .

Short answer

l 12. Analyze
the logistics
system in terms of outflow
and inflow. Which four
kinds of logistics systems
can be divided into?

Question
ions
l Answer:

l (1) Symmetrical
system: This type
of enterprise has the same
importance in the flow of
incoming goods and outgoing
logistics, that is, the incoming
goods and outgoing goods are a
reasonable and balanced flow.
l (2) Partial purchase type: It

refers to some enterprises whose

inbound goods flow system is
very complicated but the
outbound logistics system is
relatively simple, for example,
automobile manufacturers.
l (3) Partial shipment type: It

refers to some companies whose

incoming goods flow system is
very simple but the outgoing
logistics system is more
complicated. For example, glass
goods factories have relatively
simple incoming raw materials
but many types and sizes of
finished products.
l (4) Reverse
system: refers to
enterprises engaged in reverse
logistics that operate logistics
in the opposite direction. With
the rising awareness of
environmental protection, the
design of reverse logistics
systems will become more and
more important.

l 3. What
are the
characteristics of the
development of the
wholesale logistics system?

Question
tion (1/2)
l Answer:

l (1) The
development space of the
wholesale industry is limited
l With
the growing practice of
factory direct delivery and the
increasing power of retailers,
the development space of the
wholesale industry is slowly
being compressed. Over the past
wholesale trade logistics system
is like a valve, on the one hand
through the ordering large
quantities of goods from the
manufacturing sector, on the
other hand is of much small,
small quantities of goods to
store retailer, to meet
retailers However, these
functions are gradually being
replaced by factories and
retailers. The trend of reducing
intermediate links is the
biggest challenge the wholesale
industry encounters.
Question
tion (2/2)
l (2) Value-added
function is
the key to development
l Because retailers generally

lack storage space and want

to reduce the distribution
and processing functions of
goods, they often require
wholesalers to label the
goods they order, classify
the goods for commercial
packaging, and deliver them
to the retailer’s
designated location.
Sometimes Even the work of
putting on the shelves has
to be done by
wholesalers. These tasks
often take a lot of time,
space and manpower.
Therefore, the value-added
function of circulation
processing has become an
important key for
wholesalers to develop
logistics.


l 4. What
are the
characteristics of the
development of retail
logistics systems? Try to
cite two items to
illustrate.

Question
tion (1/4)
l Answer:
Please write the
following two items
l (1). The construction

of retail logistics center
is the key
l Today's leading power of

commodity supply has

gradually shifted from
suppliers to
retailers. Therefore, the
establishment of a retail
logistics system oriented
by retail outlets has
become an important issue
in today's retail industry.
Question
ons (2/4)
l (2). Out-of-stock
loss has a
great impact on retailers
l In the past, in the seller's

market, due to limited supply of

goods, the supply power of goods
was mainly in the
supplier. Today, the homogeneity
of supplier products has led to
the increasing power of
retailers, indicating that they
have entered the buyer's
market. As the supplier of
logistics management level
uneven, totally dependent on
suppliers to handle the
logistics business retailers,
there may be a shortage of
commodity supply. For example,
within the agreed time, the
goods cannot be delivered in
time, or there are problems with
defective products in the
ordered goods, etc., will
directly cause the retailer to
be out of stock and cause sales
losses, or other losses due to
returns. In order to avoid the
above problems, retailers are
paying more and more attention
to the logistics management of
commodity procurement and
supply.

Question
ons (3/4)
l ( 3) Timely
delivery is the
prerequisite of the
logistics system
l In the process of evaluating

the logistics system, in

order to prevent product
shortages, retailers often
use the " delivery
rate " indicator to
evaluate
suppliers. Delivery rate
refers to the ratio of the
actual delivery amount
to the total order
amount. The retailer uses
the actual delivery rate of
each supplier to warn or
cancel the supply contract
to the supplier who is not
in time.
Question
ions (4/4)
l (4).
The common logistics will
bring new opportunities to
the retail industry
l In the retail logistics

system, the management of

commodity supply is the
most concerned issue for
retailers. Among them,
centralized supply ( co-
sorting and
co- matching ) constitutes
the basis of the logistics
system, especially in the
retail industry chain and
network market development
trend. If
every one retailer each
order with different
suppliers, the supplier
will need to send a large
number of truck shipments
of goods were supplied to
various retail stores, each
retail store also takes the
same effort to complete
receipt, inspection Goods
work.
