I. Sustainable Development Strategy and Green Logistics
With the development of economy, the living environment of human beings has been seriously damaged, and people pay more attention to environmental protection, resource conservation and other issues that emphasize social benefits. In order to ensure the virtuous circle of the future society, people put forward the strategy of sustainable development. That is to say, economy, society, resources and environmental protection should develop in harmony, and at the same time, natural resources and environment should be protected so that future generations can develop sustainably. The green revolution is also based on the strategy of sustainable development, which puts forward requirements for consumption, production and circulation. This sustainable development strategy of green revolution is also applicable to logistics activities, so the concept of green logistics came into being.
Second, the connotation of green logistics
Green logistics refers to the whole process of planning and implementing green logistics operation and management by using advanced technology, which not only realizes the satisfaction of logistics service customers, but also reduces the consumption of resources and environmental pollution by logistics activities. Green logistics advocates the use of environmental protection technology in all aspects of logistics, including transportation, packaging, warehousing and loading and unloading, distribution and processing, and waste disposal, so as to improve resource utilization and minimize the impact of logistics activities on the environment. Green logistics requires that environmental protection and sustainable development should be considered everywhere in the enterprise supply chain, and a new concept and attitude of living in harmony with the environment should be adopted to establish and manage the logistics system.
To implement green logistics management, enterprises should achieve three main goals: first, to realize biological logistics, that is, to improve the efficiency of modern logistics without sacrificing the environment and ecology, but to actively and effectively adopt technologies and measures to realize the * * * progress of logistics and environment; The second is to realize resource-saving logistics, rationally allocate enterprise resources through intensive scientific management, make the most effective and full use of all kinds of material resources needed by enterprises, maximize and optimize the output of unit resources, and reduce the waste of resources caused by transportation, packaging, warehousing, distribution and processing; The third is to realize circular logistics. Through the implementation of preventive measures and environmental management in the whole process control, all kinds of waste in the production and operation process can be reduced as much as possible, and at the same time, renewable resources such as raw materials and by-products, packaging materials, waste products and garbage can be recycled. The above three goals are interrelated and mutually restricted. Through the realization of these three goals, the enterprise development goals and social development goals, social development and environmental improvement will be coordinated and synchronized, and both enterprises and society will embark on the win-win road of sustainable development. Realizing the sustainable development goal of green logistics is not only economical and efficient, but also saves resources and protects the environment.
Third, green transportation.
We know that transportation is the most important activity in logistics activities, but it is also an important aspect of consuming resources, polluting and destroying the environment in logistics operations. The tail gas, noise and possible energy waste in the transportation process have brought difficulties to the green logistics management. In recent years, the fierce contradiction between energy supply and demand has made green transportation more prominent. How to realize green transportation, ensure the harmonious development of transportation and social economy, resources and environment, and realize the sustainable development mode of transportation has become an important content of the development of logistics industry in China. The successful experience of developed countries provides reference for the green transportation of enterprises in China.
1. Develop multimodal transport.
With the acceleration of China's internationalization, the country will pay more and more attention to resource conservation and environmental protection. China has implemented some laws and formulated some preferential policies, such as raising the price of highway transportation, encouraging railway transportation and encouraging enterprises to operate in a green way. From the experience of American green transportation enterprises, it is an effective way for enterprises to abide by national laws and systems and promote green logistics.
Multimodal transport can reduce packaging expenses and reduce cargo damage and cargo difference during transportation. The advantages of multimodal transport are as follows: it overcomes the inherent defects of a single mode of transport. By optimizing the selection of transport routes and the reasonable collocation of various modes of transport, various modes of transport can make full use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and realize the integration of transport, thus ensuring the overall optimization and efficiency of the transport process, thus reducing energy waste and environmental pollution; On the other hand, from the perspective of logistics channels, it effectively solves the separation of goods in production and marketing space and time caused by various market environment differences such as geography, climate and infrastructure construction, and promotes the close combination of production and marketing and the effective operation of enterprise production and operation.
Multimodal transport is not a simple transformation of transport modes, but a conscious action of transport enterprises or carriers to improve transport efficiency. The main feature of multimodal transport is that goods are constantly transported between roads and railways (sometimes on water) during the whole journey from producers to consumers, and the core of multimodal transport is that each mode of transport plays its due role that best suits its transportation characteristics.
2. Development * * * and distribution
Distribution refers to the logistics activities in which goods are selected, processed, packaged, divided and assembled according to users' requirements in an economical and reasonable area, and delivered to designated places on time. As a modern circulation organization form, distribution integrates business flow, logistics and information flow, and it is a logistics activity with a unique operation mode. In logistics activities, transportation mainly refers to the long-distance movement of goods and services between two places, while the short-distance, small-batch, high-frequency movement of goods and articles is usually called distribution.
* * * Same distribution refers to the distribution activities jointly organized and implemented by multiple enterprises. Mainly aimed at the situation that the number of items needed by customers in a certain area is small, the vehicles used are not fully loaded and the utilization rate of distribution vehicles is not high. * * * The same distribution can maximize the utilization efficiency of resources such as personnel, materials, funds and time, and maximize economic benefits. At the same time, redundant staggered transportation can be removed to achieve social benefits such as alleviating traffic and protecting the environment. For the business community, to promote green logistics, it is necessary to implement * * * distribution, so as to save energy and prevent environmental pollution.
3. Establish an information network
At present, multi-variety and small-batch logistics demand has become a trend in economic form, which requires the smooth and reliable enterprise information system. Therefore, the adoption and establishment of inventory management information system, distribution system, user information system, EDI/Internet data exchange system, GPS system, decision support system, cargo tracking system and vehicle operation management system play a key role in improving the operation efficiency of logistics system. At the same time, it is necessary to better establish and use the information platform between enterprises, and connect the logistics resources belonging to different consignors through the network system for unified management and deployment, so as to enlarge the space for logistics services and goods distribution and make full use of logistics resources.
