중국 물류산업의 효율적 구축을 위한 개선방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the development process, present situation, problems of logistics industry in China, and also to make a suggestion for the improvement plan for efficient build-up for Chinese logistics industry. The Chinese government, recently, recognised 'Logistics' as one of the core industry in economy, and therefore it made avast amount of provide infrastructure to the industry and lowering its restrictions, for foreign investors and their business, is in motion. Meanwhile, the market envelopment is also changing. Traditional logistics system, which has separate suppliers for each functions (Transportation, Warehouse, Insurance, etc), is turning into more integrated system that can provide multiple function from one provider. Logistics is the art and science of managing and controlling the flow of goods, energy, information and other resources like products, services, and people, from the source of production to the marketplace. It is difficult to accomplish any marketing or manufacturing without logistical support. It involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging. The operating responsibility of logistics is the geographical repositioning of raw materials, work in process, and finished inventories where required at the lowest cost possible. In business, logistics may have either internal focus(inbound logistics), or external focus (outbound logistics) covering the flow and storage of materials from point of origin to point of consumption (see supply chain management). The main functions of a logistics manager include Inventory Management, purchasing, transport, warehousing, and the organizing and planning of these activities. Logistics managers combine a general knowledge of each of these functions so that there is a coordination of resources in an organization. There are two fundamentally different forms of logistics. One optimizes a steady flow of material through a network of transport links and storage nodes. The other coordinates a sequence of resources to carry out some project. The problems of logistic industry in China are imbalance of demand and supply, low level of information-oriented society, not strong policy for contingency and transparency caused from the sound social norm, shortage of recognition for logistics, infrastructure, human resource, low level of information technology, and insufficient law for management of logistics. The improvement plan for efficient build-up for the Chinese logistics industry is as follow. First, constructing the logistic-centered hub scattered in China for several places, for example, Shanghai, Beijing, Chingtao and so on. Second, Chinese government should take the role in terms of making the logistic law, logistics system, enhancement of efficiency on the logistics service, development of general logistics center, and management of tariff free area efficiently.
