物流作为第三利润源泉，已经为人们所所认识，物流领域的发展及潜力开发已经成为新一轮竞争的热点。我国的制造企业要想在国际竞争中保持优势，就一定要解决好物流环节的问题。
1．优化整体企业资源，是保障企业获得最大利益的前提
企业的最终经营目标只有一个，那就是赢利。企业内各种资源都是围绕着这一目标来配置的。企业物流的管理目标是为企业的经营目标服务的。降低原材料、半成品和产品的库存，提高物流服务水平，同时降低物流成本是企业物流管理的目标。但是为实现这样的目标，势必与采购、生产和销售等部门的局部利益发生冲突。采购部门为了降低采购成本，往往采用大批量采购的方式，这样做的结果是导致原材料库存增多；同样，生产部门为了提高生产效率，希望的生产方式是大批量的集中式生产，这种生产方式是与满足客户要求，缩短生产周期以及降低半成品库存是矛盾的。
所以，片面地强调部门的局部利益，不利于企业物流活动的展开，更不利于企业经营目标的实现。企业必须从系统优化，而不是局部优化的视点来审视企业内部各个职能部门的业务活动，以实现企业经营目标的最大化。企业要有大局观，将企业的整体资源加以优化，为创造最大利益打好基础。
2．向供应链物流管理发展，形成企业新的核心竞争力
当企业内的物流管理理念和实际物流管理水平达到“准现代物流”时，企业内部物流系统所要求的原材料供应商的“JIT配送”对市场需求信息的准确把握等，都会制约企业内物流系统的正常运作。所以企业内物流系统的彻底贯彻和实施，离不开供应商和销售商的配合与支持，相反，销售商为了实现“零库存”和生产企业的“JIT”配送这一目标，也要求生产企业必须按照市场的需求来组织生产活动。所以，一种新的物流管理模式---供应链管理应运而生。
供应链管理突破了传统意义上的企业物流概念，将供应链上的上下游企业作为一个信息共享、资源共享、利润共享的一个共同利益下的集合体，上下游企业间不再是过去那种简单的贸易关系，而是战略合作伙伴关系，在整个供应链的运作过程中实现多赢。供应链管理在降低成本、消减库存和适应日益多变的市场需求方面发挥了巨大的作用，是否能够对需求及其变化做出快速的反应，并同时控制和减少企业经营成本是评价供应链的重要标准。所以，供应链是企业物流管理的最高境界。
3． 通过系统化物流管理来降低物流费用，提升物流管理水平
系统化物流管理是降低物流费用，提高物流服务水平的有效方法。彻底实现物流系统化管理，是现代物流管理理念的核心内容之一。系统化物流管理的基本出发点是根据需求来补充库存。作为系统化物流管理的最高境界，是根据市场的需求组织生产，从而消除因生产过剩而造成的浪费，消除因货品短缺而造成的经济损失。系统化物流管理要求企业将销售、生产和采购作为一个互相联动的一个系统来进行管理。随着市场竞争的日趋激烈，制造性企业对物流服务的专业化和社会化要求越来越高，企业过去的那种高成本、低效率的物流职能部门已不能适应企业生产经营活动的要求。第三方物流公司则应运而生。所谓第三方物流管理是指制造业企业等生产经营企业为集中精力搞好主业，把原来属于自己处理的物流活动，以合约形式委托给专业物流服务企业，同时通过信息系统与物流服务企业保持密切联系，以达到对物流活动全过程管理和控制的一种现代物流作业方式。一般，把参与第三方物流管理服务的物流企业称为第三方物流企业，双方之间的物流合作方式称为第三方物流。由于专业性的物流公司在物流的社会化、网络化及专业化方面具有明显的优势，所以实行物流外包，可以使企业集中精力发展核心业务，将物流业务由专业化更强的第三方物流公司来承担。
大量实践证明，系统化管理可以满足制造业负责多变的物流服务要求。利用系统化管理，企业可以获得以下的利益：高效的供应链体系；较低的资金投入或无需物流基础设施建设；降低企业物流成本和库存成本，提高库存周转率和资金回笼率；为顾客提供更多的增值服务。所以，企业看清了物流发展的方向，就能少走弯路，用最少的时间，花最小的代价，达成目标。系统化管理能提升物流管理水平，从而增强企业整体竞争力。

企业是为社会提供产品或某些服务的经济实体，企业通过向社会提供产品或服务来收取回报，获得相应的利润，以维持企业自身的不断发展。但是随着国内国际经济环境的变化，企业间的竞争越来越激烈，增强企业核心竞争力使企业能够在激烈的竞争环境中保持竞争优势的必要手段。企业的基本活动要素是生产、销售和物流，在生产和销售活动方面，已经得到明显改善，生产领域的机械化、自动化取得进展，销售方面采用了科学的营销方法。随着生产技术水平的提高和内部管理的加强，生产和销售领域内降低成本的空间越来越小，而在生产和销售领域以外的运输、仓储、配送、库存等物流环节上却存在着较大的潜力。企业单纯追求生产和销售方面的销量已经不能适应激烈的市场竞争环境，在企业经营决策者层面上，对物流的认识得到普遍的提高，并开始把寻求成本优势和差别化优势的视角转向物流领域，物流被视为第三利润源泉。制造性企业只有节约了物流成本，提高了物流管理水平，才能提高了企业的竞争力，从而在强手如林的世界制造业竞争舞台上立于不败之地。

1. excellent turn the whole business enterprise resources, is a premise that guarantees the business enterprise to acquire the biggest benefits
The end target of the management of the business enterprise onlies have a, that is to win the benefit.Various resourceses inside the business enterprise are all to wear this target around to install of.The management target of the business enterprise logistics serves for the target of the management of the business enterprise.Lower original material, semi-processed goods and the stock of the products, raise the logistics service level, lower the logistics cost at the same time is the target of the business enterprise logistics.But in order to carry out such target, certanly will with the purchase, produce and sell etc. the partial benefits occurrence conflict of the section.Buy the section for lowering the purchasing cost, usually adopt the way of the amount of large quantity purchase, the result for do like this is to cause original material stock increase;Same, produce the section to produce the efficiency for the sake of the exaltation, the mode of production that hope is the concentrated type that large quantity quantity produce, this kind of mode of production is with satisfy the customer to request, shorten to produce the period and lower the semi-processed goods stock is self-contradict.
So, emphasize the partial benefits of the section unilaterally, the disadvantage launches in the business enterprise logistics activity, more disadvantageous in the realization of the business enterprise the target of the management.The business enterprise musted be excellent from the system to turn, not the part was excellent to turn of saw to order to examine internal and each working talent section of business enterprise of business activity, to carry out the business enterprise the target of the management to maximize.The business enterprise wants the general situation view, taking into the whole resources of the business enterprise excellent to turn, for create the biggest benefits to lay the good foundation.
2. to the supply chain logistics development, new core competencies of the formation business enterprise
When the logistics in the business enterprise principle and actual logistics levels attain" precise modern logistics", the accurate confidence of" the JIT goes together with to send" to the market need information of the original material supplier that internal logistics system of business enterprise request etc., all normal operation of the logistics system inside the meeting check and supervision business enterprise.So the logistics system inside the business enterprise carries through and carries out thoroughly, canning not get away from the supplier and selling the company's match and supports, contrary, sell the company for carrying out" zero stocks"s and producing the business enterprise of" JIT" go together with to send this target, also request to produce business enterprise must according to market of need to organize the production.So, a kind of new logistics mode- supply chain management emerge with the tide of the times.
The supply chain management broke the business enterprise logistics concept of the traditional meaning, visitting the business enterprise to be up and down supply chain ascend of under an information share, resources share, a common benefits of aggregation, visit the business enterprise up and down is no longer past that kind of simple trading relationship, but the strategy cooperates the colleague relation, carry out to win much in the whole operation process of supply chain.The supply chain management is decline low cost, the market need that decrease the stock and adapt to change increasingly and much developped the huge function, whether can do a fast reaction to the need and its variety, and control and reduce the business enterprise management cost at the same time is important standard that evaluates the supply chain.So, the supply chain is tallest state of the business enterprise logistics.
3. Pass to systematize the logistics to lower the logistics expenses, promote the logistics level
Systematize the logistics is to lower the logistics expenses, raising valid method of the logistics service level.Carry out the logistics to systematize the management thoroughly, is one of the core contentses of the modern logistics principle.The basic point of departure that systematizes the logistics adds the stock according to the need.The conduct and actions systematizes the tallest state of the logistics, producing according to the need organization of the market, thus removing to result in of waste the economy that result in to lose because of over production, the cancellation because of goods is missing.Systematize the logistics request the business enterprise and will sell, produce to be a system that a mutual move with purchase to carry on the management.Compete along with the market gradually vigorous, the manufacturing business enterprise turns and acculturates the request to the profession that logistics serve more and more high, the business enterprise pass by of that kind of the logistics working talent section of high cost, low efficiency has already can't adapt the request of the business enterprise production management activity.The third square the logistics company then emerges with the tide of the times.So-called the third square the logistics mean the manufacturing industry business enterprise that etc. produces to conduct the business enterprise to make the very main industry for the concentrated energy, the logistics activity that belongs to oneself's processing originally, entrust with the contract form to the professional logistics service business enterprise, keep the close contact through the information system and logistics service business enterprises at the same time, to attain to the logistics movable whole process management and control of a kind of modern logistics operation method.General, participate the third square the logistics service of logistics business enterprise be called the third square the logistics business enterprise, the logistics cooperation way between both parties be called the third square logistics.Because the logistics company of the profession turns in the acculturation, network of the logistics and the profession turn the aspect to have the obvious advantage, so practice the pack outside the logistics, can make the concentrated energy of business enterprise development core business, turn the logistics business from the profession stronger the third square the logistics company to undertake.
A great deal of fulfillment prove that systematize the logistics service request that management can satisfy the manufacturing industry to be responsible for to change much.The exploitation systematizes the management, the business enterprise can acquire the following benefits:The supply chain system that is efficiently;Lower funds devotion or did not need the logistics infrastructure construction;Lower the business enterprise logistics cost and the stock cost, raise the stock rate of turnover and fundses to return the rate;Provide for the customer to increase in value the service morely.So, the business enterprise saw pure the direction that logistics development, the ability is little to walk curved road, use minimal time, flower minimum of price, reach the target.Systematize the management can promote the logistics level, thus strengthenning the whole competition ability of business enterprise.

The business enterprise is an economic entity that provides the product or some services for the society, the business enterprise passes toward society to provide the product or services to take the repay, acquiring the homologous profits, developping continuously with the maintenance business enterprise oneself.But along with the domestic variety of the international economy environment, the competition of the business enterprise is more and more vigorous, strengthenning necessary means that the business enterprise core competencies can make business enterprise kept the competitive advantage in vehemence of competition environment.The basic movable main factor of the business enterprise is to produce, sale and logistics, in the aspects of produce and sales activity, have already got the obvious improvement, produce the mechanization of the realm and automate to make the progress, sell the marketing method that the aspect adopts science.Along with produce the exaltation and inner parts of the technique level to manage of strengthen, produce and sell the realm inside decline the low cost space more and more small, but in producing and selling the realm outside of conveyance, warehouse, going together with to send, stock wait the logistics link but exist the bigger potential.The business enterprise simplicity pursues to produce and sell of sell the market competition environment that the quantity have already can't adapt the vehemence, conduct the decision maker level in the business enterprise up, get the widespread exaltation to the understanding of the logistics, and start changing direction the logistics realm to the angle of view that looks for the cost advantage and differences to turn the advantage, the logistics is see as the third profits headspring.Make sex business enterprise to only economize the logistics cost, raise the logistics level, then can raise the competition ability of the business enterprise, thus at strong hand,such as the manufacturing industry competition satge of the wood's world, up sign in the invincible position.
