CHAPTER 3InventorySection 1Inventory and Cost Control〖*4/5〗BackgroundAccording to Chinas national standard terminology relating to logistics, the socalled logistics costs (Logistics Cost) refer to the physical cost of logistics activities by labor. According to the 1997 IMF statistics, Chinas logistics costs was the most highest. Logistics cost of United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Singapore as a proportion of GDP were 10.1%, 10.5%, 11.4%, 13.9%, while logistics costs as a proportion of GDP were 169% in mainland China, 13.7% in Hong Kong, 13.1% in Taiwan. High cost of logistics enterprises in China, also shows that Chinas logistics cost reduction has a lot of space. Variety of reasons lead to high cost of logistics enterprises in China, high inventory carrying cost of the enterprise. Therefore, inventory carrying costs is critical to reduce logistics costs.
Relationship of logistics cost and inventory
It is a very important means of reducing logistics costs and inventory carrying costs for almost all the industrial enterprises and logistics companies, namely by reducing raw materials, semifinished products and finished goods inventory levels.
Field logistics cost formula
It is generally speaking that a concept of the enterprise logistics costing formula is: total logistics costs (Total Logistics Costs) = transport costs (Transportation Cost) + inventory carrying costs (Inventory Carrying Cost) administrative costs + logistics (Logistics Administration Cost). It is empirically estimated, inventory holding cost is approximately the average inventory value of 25%. Administration of logistics cost accounting in General is determined by the experts based on the history of a fixed ratio multiplied by the sum of the inventory costs and transportation costs only. Such as the United States, logistics and administration costs, in proportion of the total cost of logistics in the 4% or so.[1]物流專業英語CHAPTER 3Inventory[3]Inventory logistics cost of bulrushes
In the course of business, consumption in the logistics business of includes explicit cost, implicit costs and logistics costs. Most of the explicit costs can be calculated through the original voucher. At present, enterprises strengthen the calculation of these costs, logistics cost accounting by controlling the intangible cost, and discussing its accounting standards and methods. Some enterprises are not fully aware of inventory cost structure, and enterprises even think more inventory, more security on enterprise production and management.
Industrial inventories remain high, slow cash flow
The speed of capital returning is a reflection of change in enterprise inventory, another manifestation of enterprise returning rate dropped is the rise in inventories. In 1990, the overall inventory of finished or prenatal reserve percentage is very high affected by the institutional, policy and all deviate from the circulation law of old practices resulting, too many delays in the production process. In recent years, huge stocks of industrial products is difficult to digest, much less new inventory increase. It shows that Chinese economy is slowing down with poor efficiency and low economic operation with the stock burden. Though Chinas inventory decline in space, the logistics industry has great potential.
Section 2Improvement of Inventory〖*4/5〗JIT—Best to reduce inventory cost management modeJIT is of great significance by raising the entire supply chain of the users response time, reducing the logistics cost of the supply chain, and implementing ondemand production on time. JIT is the most reasonable logistics to consider how to reduce inventory costs and shorten the period of logistics.
Reduce inventory cost
In order to meet the needs of users in a timely manner, supply chain management must be demanddriven. Vendors collect end consumer information of needs, through the network to transfer orders to manufacturers. Based on order production planning and material requirements for the planning and organization of production, manufacturers organizes production or supply after getting a manufacturers item requirement information over the network. The logistics network for transmission of information flow in the supply chain in accordance with the arrangement plan from the vendor supplier to manufacturers to suppliers. JIT ultimately reduce the cost of inventory throughout the supply chain, by the corresponding reducing supply chain inventory costs once scattered in different enterprises.
