High-tech is one of the main supporting forces of Singapore's logistics industry, and network technology is the most important. Singapore logistics company has basically realized the automation of the whole operation process, and generally owns modern information technology equipment such as high-tech storage equipment, fully automatic three-dimensional warehouse, wireless scanning equipment and automatic deposit system. Singapore logistics enterprises have invested millions of dollars to build a computer technology platform. Through the company's technical platform, customers can not only make business contacts such as placing orders, but also know the spatial location, transportation links and estimated delivery time of consigned goods at any time. Modern technology also ensures the safety and accuracy of goods in the logistics process. For example, the use of bar codes and wireless scanners makes the accuracy of tens of millions of goods delivered every day exceed 99.99%.
Service specificity is an important reason why Singapore logistics enterprises can provide high-quality services. They either provide all-round logistics services for enterprises in a certain industry, or provide logistics services in a certain link for customers in various industries. There are free trade zones (bonded zones) or logistics parks near Singapore's ports and airports to provide centralized logistics services. In the park, you can find professional logistics providers in all aspects of transportation, warehousing and distribution, which greatly facilitates customers to contact business. The logistics park near Changi International Airport has attracted dozens of large-scale logistics companies and achieved good economies of scale. Singapore's modern logistics industry has turned to "tailor-made" services, with the starting point and final destination of meeting the different needs of each customer, and the scope of services is unprecedented. The company and customers * * * study and choose one or more ideal service methods, and finally find out the solution that can provide customers with low cost to the maximum extent.
Paying attention to the cultivation of talents and logistics industry is also an important way for the sustainable development of Singapore's logistics industry. The Singapore government introduced the latest development of logistics technology to companies and the public in the form of lectures, and launched a number of logistics talent training programs such as government-school cooperation and international exchange, and launched a variety of professional materials training courses to meet the actual needs of the market. The government also cooperates with logistics professional organizations, associations or chambers of commerce to promote logistics exhibitions and seminars and promote international exchanges and cooperation. The Singapore government offers master's courses in logistics in universities such as National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University to train senior logistics management talents.
199 provided S $20 million to support the National University of Singapore and Georgia Institute of Technology to jointly establish the Asia-Pacific Logistics Institute in Singapore, mainly to train professionals in logistics and supply chain management. 28 famous universities around the world recognize their professional qualifications in logistics, and students who have completed the course can study for a master's degree in logistics in these universities. In addition, the government encourages private educational institutions to offer logistics courses and provide training for on-the-job professionals. For example, Singapore Institute of Logistics currently has 1500 employees, and also provides degree education to train undergraduate and master students majoring in logistics.
The expansion of Singapore's logistics industry in Zhang Zhilu is very small, and no industry has become the bottleneck of the development of Singapore's logistics industry. After decades of development, Singapore's logistics market has matured, so Singapore's logistics industry has realized the need to go out of the domestic market and seek new ways to promote growth.
According to the Asia-Pacific Logistics Industry Report, the estimated value of Asia's logistics industry is US$ 65,438+0 trillion, led by China, followed by ASEAN countries and India. Economic globalization leads to the eastward movement of production base; The multilateral trade opening, regional trade agreements and bilateral trade agreements of the World Trade Organization all contribute to the substantial increase of international goods flow; Therefore, the activities of purchasing raw materials, subcontracting manufacturing and finished product distribution are increasingly global, which increases the length and complexity of enterprise supply chain. All these require that production enterprises have no time to take care of comprehensive industries, which requires some logistics industries to be outsourced.
Singapore's logistics industry also urgently needs to get rid of the saturation of domestic logistics industry; All along, the logistics industry in Singapore is not only a logistics service provider of regional multinational enterprises, but also a wide network; Singapore's logistics industry also needs to further expand its business, reach a sufficient scale and achieve greater profits, so the two sides coincide.
It can be seen that the successful expansion of Singapore's logistics industry is not only in line with the global economic pattern, but also inseparable from long-term hardware development.
