A warehouse is a general term for a place where items are kept and maintained.
In the past, items were stored in warehouses for a long or long period of time, and the variety of items was small. Therefore, the main responsibility of the library was to protect the items and maintain the items.
However, in modern warehouses, the storage time of goods in warehouses is often short or short, so as to reduce the backlog of funds; the variety of items is also greatly increased, that is, the quantity, speed and number of delivery points of the selected items are geometrically graded. increase. From quantitative to qualitative, some warehouse names have been transformed into distribution centers and logistics centers. In recent years, many original warehousing companies, transportation companies, even small shipping companies, water delivery and milking companies have been flopped into logistics centers or distribution centers. This kind of phenomenon, there is no principle and is not appropriate, but it brings inconvenience to the search of logistics customers, and brings some inconvenience in academic exchanges. Therefore, there should be very little basic symposium in academic exchanges.
In GB/T 18354-2001
In logistics terms, there are clear definitions of warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution centers. But somehow, in this standard, the warehouse is defined in “5 Logistics Technical Equipment and Facility Termsâ€, the logistics center is defined in “3 Basic Concept Termsâ€, and the distribution center is defined in “4 Logistics Operation Termsâ€. Causing confusion in concept. In addition, I feel that the definition is too long and requires too many requests from the reader. The definition is indeed very difficult, and will be studied by experts and scholars in the future. Here I want to make a simple distinction between them: Lunku is the general name for the place to store and maintain goods; the distribution center is to store a large number of items, and distribute many items with short storage period to many retail stores (such as specialty stores, even A store, a supermarket, etc., or a place for the end customer; the logistics center is a place where many items are stored and a plurality of items with a slightly longer storage period are delivered to the distribution center.
The characteristics of the distribution center are: its location is downstream of the logistics; the general storage items are more variety, the storage period is shorter; in order to make the retail store or the final customer do not have a library or a small library and no fleet, there are powerful multi-clients, A variety of multi-variety, multi-frequency picking and distribution functions. Because many customers and multiple varieties can realize the scale and commonization of insurance and transportation operations, and save costs. Distribution centers generally use “door-to-door†car transportation, which has a small operating range (20 to 300 km) and serves the ultimate customer in the region. Sometimes, the distribution center also has a business of circulation processing, such as the fixed-length processing of steel, the change of food from large transportation packaging to small retail packaging, feed from single feed to compound feed, etc., and the extension and value-added of services.
The characteristics of the logistics center are: the location is in the middle of the logistics, is the middle of the warehouse and the distribution center of the manufacturing plant, generally far from the warehouse and distribution center of the factory, in order to make the transportation economy, use large-capacity cars or rail transport and less Lots of inbound and outbound batches.
It should be noted that warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution centers are all self-operated or on behalf of customers to store and transport goods. It can also be said that in the past, various departments, storage and transportation companies at all levels, it is difficult to distinguish absolutely, sometimes their business There is obvious cross-cutting; so-called multi-customer, multi-variety, multi-frequency picking or large-capacity car or rail transport and a small number of large-scale warehousing methods are relatively speaking. The warehouse has been gradually replaced by logistics centers and distribution centers. In addition to the seasonal production of obvious grain reserves, cotton warehouses, fruit warehouses, cold storage seafood warehouses and military reserve warehouses, the storage and maintenance are still the mainstay.
Because all three have the function of keeping and maintaining items and other similar functions, only the degree, strength and weakness, in addition, the logistics center and distribution center are developed and derived from the warehouse. Therefore, sometimes we say that the warehouse, including the logistics center and distribution center, is the collective name of the three.
