How do logistics and warehousing practitioners career planning

First, the analysis of the logistics industry core talent

Modern logistics industry are: port logistics, manufacturing logistics, urban distribution logistics, exhibition logistics, logistics and finance.

Core talent logistics industry there are two types: one is in the bottom of the pyramid logistics operators; one at the top of the pyramid to provide total logistics solutions to solve talent.

1, logistics operator

Simply put, it will be responsible for logistics operations, commissioned goods delivery location specified by the customer in accordance with the most reasonable and effective way arrives at the customer's designated place of receipt. The timing of the process is very important to arrange trailer time, loading time and customs clearance time. Among them, there are a lot of problems occur, such as a trailer not to mention the cabinet, there is a problem of time; customs check counters encountered, can not be cut off before the ark of the boat, delayed timetable. Problems will produce cost, it depends on the operating level and capability.

Logistics operator responsibilities can be summarized in two words: with a single control. Logistics operations is the only logistics industry oligopoly positions.

2, advanced logistics planning

Advanced logistics planning is the makers of the overall logistics solutions.

Open a company's financial statements, it can be seen in almost every business activity and logistics are inseparable, each logistics decisions have a direct impact yield corporate assets, profitability, cash flow, and businesses created the economic value added.

Savvy entrepreneurs will find, in addition to the profits obtained by selling products, there is an important aspect of how to save before the flow of product sales costs, which can even be in the interests of the former par.

Advanced logistics planning responsibilities also include: distribution logistics center location, functional planning, large-scale facilities, management system reasonably determine, even enterprise logistics system transformation, trade logistics system transformation, planning and design planning and design of logistics parks and distribution centers, etc. all his duties. Thus, the framers of the overall logistics solutions takes years experience in logistics management, master of logistics, information technology, pricing knowledge, procurement, storage, import and export have some experience to in-depth understanding of market planning, sales and marketing strategies. Such talent is definitely rare. Advanced logistics planning logistics industry is the core of talent, is a real lack of talent, the media's 'million annual salary recruits talent' is that they employ. "

Second, modern logistics personnel need to master the four skills

The development of modern logistics needs of logistics personnel have the following skills:

1, breaking the traditional understanding of a comprehensive understanding of modern logistics concept and operation of the new model, to further improve the understanding of the concept of modern logistics, a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of modern logistics business knowledge. Now, the logistics industry professionals often only in a certain part of the business, such as shipping, warehousing, road transport, railway transport, packaging of goods, information management, and so on. Future logistics staff knowledge should be extended to other areas of logistics, and gradually establish the concept of logistics systems, co-ordinate the entire logistics operation.

2, to accept and master modern technologies, such as RFID (radio frequency identification Chinese meaning, also known as electronic tags or radio tags) applications. A more profound understanding of computer network technology, and can be in the business of computer network system of logistics information management proposed requirements. For technical logistics of all aspects of a certain understanding, it can be reasonably related to the use and allocation of facilities and equipment. Study and mastery of modern technologies, logistics personnel also need to have a forward-looking. Logistics managers must have known pioneer in the field of pioneering spirit, has from a strategic height test

3, in addition to updating logistics concepts and mastery of modern technologies, logistics personnel also need to have a forward-looking. Logistics managers must have known pioneer in the field of pioneering spirit, we have to consider the issue from a strategic accomplishment, having the ability to build systems thinking and information systems, with the spirit of the factors restricting the development of logistics challenges, as well as the organization of young people for the logistics rationalization fighting courage.

4, logistics and staff mostly "thing" to deal with, it is easy to see things but not people. But the handling of the "objects" that people should have respect for the human spirit.

Third, the logistics career planning guidance

While on the demand in other industries, most lacking is the senior logistics planning management and marketing personnel, it is best not only understands marketing management and understand planning, but also know how to use modern technology to improve or upgrade existing operating modes. Clearly, recent college graduates on work experience in apparently difficult to adapt to these positions. However, in order to accumulate experience always there, we can exercise on the operating position and a low-level management positions to reach that level.

Occupation path: the operator → → middle management and senior management personnel

Fourth, wages analysis (Shanghai, for example)

Operator: Salary different positions are different for the declaration, freight operators, etc., usually monthly salary of 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan, marketing personnel, including sales, customer service, etc., because of the importance of their jobs, salaries are relatively compared high, can reach more than 4,000 yuan, and some even higher than the general managers.

  For the operator, owning the relevant certificates, relevant experience, English national levels to achieve the above, salaries will be higher, upside as well. The same position, large logistics companies than small companies higher than the monthly salary of about 1000-2000 yuan, while large companies work experience, then switched to small companies, jobs and salaries can get some improvement.

Middle managers: department heads or managers, including business managers, production managers, operations directors and so on. General requirements for college education, there are more than three years of experience, the operation flow in this sector are very familiar with large logistics companies work experience will be very popular.

Personnel currently pay health Shanghai logistics enterprises, the general business executives monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, the department manager 5,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan, and some can reach 1 million or more, senior logistics manager salary can reach several hundred thousand dollars.

Senior management personnel: Enterprise executive director, company vice president and senior administrative personnel, which is standing in the logistics industry tip of the pyramid of talent, resources are scarce at high prices hard to find. For these people, in addition to the basic requirements of high quality, with a master's degree outside, but also has a wealth of industry experience, excellent planning and organizing ability, good communication skills and the like.

Salaries ranging from 100,000 yuan to 150 yuan. According to the company's nature and size may be, in general, the highest treatment joint venture logistics enterprises, the annual salary can reach more than one million yuan, in addition to salary income, some companies will also provide a portion of these shares to senior management, the end may be obtained dividends.

Five practitioners direction analysis

On employment direction, the logistics posts mainly in-house and third-party logistics professional logistics company, the former is concerned that the internal purchasing, warehouse management, security and coordination of materials. The latter concern is external, the process flow of goods.

Internal logistics positions: Logistics graduates to the largest number of retail chains, such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Gome. Their competitive advantage is the low cost of logistics: centralized procurement, efficient logistics system ......

Professional logistics job responsibilities should include procurement, production, transportation, sales and even upstream suppliers and customer service, etc., that is supply chain management. But in fact most companies will present duties logistics positions locked in storage.

Procurement jobs: retail purchasing department in the recruitment of assistants, new ships will have the opportunity, they are mainly valued communication skills and adaptability. Suning Appliance, a human resources director, said in an interview, "In computer terms, WORD and EXCLE use must be skilled." Because to do data analysis and report writing and business correspondence, must use these tools. If you want to go, such as Wal-Mart and other foreign companies are, the good English literacy is essential. Wal-Mart's strong logistics system based on the global procurement system, even if you do not come to read English labels, you will work hard to get them. To remind, learn to use the same statistics, economics, market analysis tools (methods), such as SPSS, which give retailers HR favored helpful.

Storage Position: This is a relatively low barriers to entry positions. Take advantage of our expertise and theoretical basis, more professional than others do allow us to have a strong competitive edge. The so-called "professional", specific to the transportation, first, the most basic, you have to fully grasp the theoretical knowledge from the warehouse site selection, warehousing principles, inventory control, transportation route optimization principles and order processing, and so on, these are the schools learning task must be completed.

Sixth, analyze your business objectives

For example, you want to enter Suning, that company's distribution centers are mainly two aspects of warehousing and distribution jobs, their main stock is electrical. Then you find a way to figure out the storage, transportation and other electrical precautions, even in advance familiar with the various electrical package texture - the types of packaging bearing the largest number, with or without special requirements for storage ...... summary "work pays off." Although these words soil point, but it is the truth.

A certain amount of the cost accounting knowledge. Logistics is the most direct definition of "Under the premise of customer satisfaction, the greatest degree of cost control." Therefore, the company will generally require employees to have a good cost-conscious, and even let you participate in the cost analysis and control link to go

Professional logistics company

Express and other third-party logistics companies. The main job there include the declaration, cargo operations, maritime operations, purchasing, warehousing, Dan Zhengyuan, customer service, sales and so on.

Here I strongly recommend students to learn English in order to graduate after the entry of foreign logistics companies. There, you will be able to get training to improve the system, faster accumulation of the highest quality experience.

Four international express delivery companies have attached great importance to the training of new employees: new employees DHL prior posts, will turn into all sectors Internship rotation in order to ensure that, before the formal appointment of all business aspects of the company has a direct experience, we have all the expertise to understand; UPS operator training as a first line of truck drivers, they should be careful with which to guide a finger to get the car keys, can be both safe and fast; and FedEx are by a 50 hours of training in a short time so that new employees understand the company's history, vision and corporate culture, understand wher their duty posts. Each employee will be accepted after the training courses of less than 50 hours.

Such a professional development environment, right to the logistics industry to become the legendary "gold collar" of students is undoubtedly better than this.

Time as a student to participate in internships, both familiar with the work environment, but you can increase the weight in future job search. Usually in the course of the internship, students will be exposed to operations, warehousing, transportation, order processing, terminal, be careful not to think that it is "odd jobs" instead of serious work. In fact, to want to become advanced logistics planning and management personnel for you, it is for these basic operations, the process is very familiar with, so that you might have handy later in the planning or operation of large-scale logistics solutions. Imagine, if you can not even transport routes, traffic rules even stacking methods are not familiar with how you might go to a reasonable allocation of your storage resources?

Logistics Marketing: the company, the logistics industry is very familiar with the operating system, we can effectively answer customer questions about all sorts of solutions. Such positions also requires a certain marketing professional basis, therefore, we recommended that students find some information in this regard to read, in addition, you can also find some industry magazines logistics look at the top of the practices you understand the textbooks. boring theory is not without benefits. Recommended Certification: export sales qualification, marketers and so on.
