On the railway development of modern logistics management

Abstract: With the Development of logistics, many of the traditional Transportation, warehousing companies, such as highways, aviation, maritime and other Transportation companies seize the opportunity to actively develop logistics, achieved rapid growth, competition and rail transport in this situation on China's rail freight industry to demonstrate the Development of modern logistics and countermeasures have important theoretical and practical significance to guide this paper rely on the railway industry in the Development of modern logistics of the main advantages and disadvantages based on the analysis, combined with our own railway logistics characteristics and Development of the industry present situation of the railway Development of modern logistics in specific ways.

Keywords: railway logistics strategies

First, the status quo of China's railway Transportation
(A decline in market share
As the market's rapid Economic development, road and air transport has developed rapidly, the market share of rail freight industry has undergone tremendous changes, rail freight market share gradually decreased as shown in Table 1.1, mainly for freight and cargo turnover in the whole society cargo volume (turnover) in the proportion of declining, while more serious is the current view in the country, the majority of rail carrier material for the bulk of agricultural products and various types of ore and other raw materials, additional value is not high, low tariffs, and high electrical and electronic equipment, freight cargo is usually carried out short-distance transport by road, rail advantage in such high-end market, small, smaller market share, resulting in tight rail transport capacity while , on the other hand the phenomenon of freight income is not high.

Railway Transportation management has all along adopted a highly centralized planned Economic system, and long-term in a seller's market in this system, the formation of rail freight management to rely on orders from their superiors to carry out a production and operations management ideas and other home goods marketing mechanism marketing mechanism is not able to adapt to market needs of Economic development, freight cumbersome and complex procedures, can not adapt to the "quick and easy," the need, the price system is not flexible to adapt to the diverse needs of these innovative concepts and management methods, has no serious development requirements of the market economy, unable to meet the complex and changing market demand.

(Two railway advantages and disadvantages of the development of modern logistics sub-
1. Railway development of modern logistics advantage analysis:
(An information network edge
The establishment of railway communication lines covered with Ministry of Railways, Railway Bureau and the main station section of the computer network and transmission network, switching network, data communications network to achieve three major communications infrastructure and Transportation network management systems and dispatching systems integration, to ensure systems operate independently under the premise of safety, to achieve the sharing of information between systems, and expanded Transportation services, promoting rail transport organization, direction and scheduling information Technology for transport management provides effective support and help.

(2 basic advantages
As the main artery of our national economy, with transport capacity, low cost, all-weather, as well as safety, energy conservation, pollution and other advantages, particularly when it is has some coverage of road network, ample yard warehouse, many companies connected with dedicated lines and sizable container transport system. In addition, the railway has a station across the country, these sites constitute an important part of the logistics system.

(3 rail freight has a complete materials management institutions and systems
Possess the necessary logistics management infrastructure, and extension services with freight forwarding agencies and management experience, for the conduct of modern logistics service with a certain material and organizational basis. After years of development, the railway has been a well-established management and operating methods , accumulated a lot like "one vote in the end", "point to point transport", "door to door service" management experience.

(4 have a broad customer base
Railway transport network because of its ability, lower transport costs, especially in long-distance, bulk material transport technical and Economic advantages are obvious, making a number of rail freight has a fixed customer base, with many factories and enterprises at home and abroad to maintain long-term collaboration relations, and rail transport further into the modern logistics industry has laid a good foundation for the market.

2. Railway disadvantages of the development of modern logistics
(1 organization and management mechanisms are incompatible with the modern logistics
Rail freight, parcel, handling, transport and other sectors on behalf of the state is still in the decentralized management, the most prominent are: the organization and more and more layers of management, Railways, Stations of the sector entities fragmentation, fragmented, decentralized multi-pattern not suitable to carry out intensive management of the logistics industry advantage is difficult to play.

(2 logistics facilities and standardization of low technical level
China Railway Logistics costs have been high, not to establish a comprehensive and practical logistics standardization system to blame, this problem has led to various logistics enterprises can not be shared between the information resources, storage and Transportation facilities owned, is also Since the standard was not complete, it is difficult to adapt to the needs of modern logistics development not only to a certain extent, delayed the railway logistics enterprises in raising the level of mechanization and automation, reducing the storage facilities of the space utilization, resulting in waste of resources, logistics, will inevitably affect Logistics growth of corporate profits and enhance core competitiveness.

(3 rail transport companies of poor reputation
For a long time, since the railway monopoly, resulting in a weak sense of market competition, can not take the initiative to understand and study the market demand, while weak sense because rail transport services, poor attitude, low level of service, "is hard, ugly face, an easy "seriously affected the railroad's image and reputation, which is also partly the result of the railway transport market share decline.

(4 lack of logistics and exhibition industry professionals
Railway technical content of the traditional mode of transport is relatively simple, existing talent on the railway transport enterprise distribution processing services, emergency delivery, overnight delivery and holiday delivery, logistics and consulting services provided by poorly understood, difficult to drive the development of the logistics of the railway industry service quality and logistics service quality have a greater distance, logistics, and logistics weak sense of a lack of talent is an important railway development of modern logistics constraints.

Second, the railway development of modern logistics response
(I speed up the reform of railway Transportation
Specifically the implementation of separating the establishment of corporate entities and rail transport the dominant position of market competition, reform of the railway's overall goal: the establishment of socialist market Economic system and in accordance with the laws of the rail Transportation and production management system. Specifically, the major reform can from the following areas. First, asset restructuring, structural adjustment, namely primary, secondary separation, crack transport core business assets, divestiture of assets supporting the industry and secondly, separating the division of responsibilities, to have ownership or custody of the state-owned assets, the government with the state-owned asset management functions and responsibilities of corporate behavior to distinguish.

(B to develop a standardized system of China Railway Logistics
Develop and establish a comprehensive rail logistics standardization system, logistics system is to ensure that all aspects of the railway between the coordinated development, reduce logistics costs and improve the quality of logistics services provided, first, must be based on the logistics industry standards, the logistics involved in the railway all kinds of logistics terms, the term for uniform requirements. Secondly, and logistics support services to some of the infrastructure, equipment standardization of content development. which can improve equipment utilization, efficiency of logistics operations.

(Three to actively expand the traditional value-added logistics services Railway
Value-added services are an extension of the railway out of traditional Transportation services, is to improve the competitiveness of the market an important means of, for example, currently the vast majority of rail freight business station yard has different types of storage, mainly for the carriage of goods to the loading after the pre- custody, after unloading the goods arrive before delivery to the temporary custody and LTL freight transit, if you expand the scope of warehousing, really play the role of existing resources, will undoubtedly promote the freight logistics business station node as a function of the establishment, followed by in distribution services, can be carried out set of goods, sorting packaging, complete assembly, barcode generation, label, automatic replenishment and other services.

(D to accelerate the training of professionals and the introduction of
The final competition of modern enterprises is the talent competition. Modern logistics manpower shortage is widespread, especially in the railway goods sector should focus on talent management in the logistics of the important role you can take a combination of internal and external: one to multi-level increase the internal logistics business training employees to improve the overall quality of logistics practitioners, on the other to establish a market economy employment system, companies need to attract professionals to meet the needs of modern logistics.

(E) to speed up freight technological innovation, modernization and upgrading the level of information
Speed ​​up cargo security system, the formation of an integrated monitoring and management and decision-making, covering the whole road freight comprehensive inspection and monitoring network security and accelerate the pace of construction of cargo information, enhance information quality assessment and comprehensive application of information, accelerate the construction of price and freight rail security incident handling information management system to improve the level of freight management information, strengthen security Technology research, organize shipping, handling new technologies, exchange show shipping, handling and management of technological innovation, promote the transport of goods technological innovation.

III Summary
Short, China's railway freight logistics to achieve their own development direction is the inevitable choice as the country's largest rail freight transportation company, is a significant number of supply chain logistics chain in the development of China's logistics industry occupies an important position, I believe that the railway freight industry will continue to actively explore to promote the rapid development of China's modern logistics industry in an effective way to build a smooth flow of goods, to facilitate timely, economical, customer satisfaction and modern logistics environment, construction and improvement of professional, social, and modernization of logistics service network and make new contributions.
