Fast and timely goal: timeliness is not only the extension of service, but also the requirement of circulation for logistics. Being quick and timely is not only a traditional goal, but also a modern goal. The reason is that with the development of social mass production, this requirement has become more intense. The management and technology adopted in the field of logistics, such as direct logistics, combined transport, expressway and timetable system, is the embodiment of this goal.
Saving goal: saving is an important law in the economic field. In the field of logistics, in addition to saving circulation time, because the circulation process consumes a lot, it basically does not increase or improve the use value of goods, so it is an important means to improve the relative output through leading saving.
Scale goal: Taking logistics scale as the goal of logistics system is to pursue "scale benefit". Large-scale production in the production field has long been recognized by the society. Because the stability of logistics system is worse than that of production system, it is difficult to form a standard scale format. It is the embodiment of scale optimization to establish logistics system in different ways, such as decentralization or centralization, and to study the degree of logistics intensification.
Inventory adjustment goal: it is the extension of service, the requirement of macro-control, and of course it also involves the interests of the logistics system itself. It is the embodiment of this goal to correctly determine the inventory mode, inventory quantity, inventory structure and inventory distribution in the field of logistics.
