From the logistics point of view inventory

    Inventory is the logistics management and operation is the enterprise can not avoid the problem, when the material backlog, when the logistics facilities and inventory can not match the time, will be reflected in the warehousing logistics. Warehouse large, less inventory, is a waste of resources, warehouse and more inventory, will worry about "burst warehouse" affect the operation of enterprises, according to the situation of enterprise logistics resources, these will be chain reaction to the operation of the logistics, and even warehousing should be self Or the problem of outsourcing. Therefore, the logistics sector is unable to avoid inventory problems.

    
Stock is not logistics should consider the issue?

     From the principle point of view, the inventory is the supply chain of things, not logistics can be resolved, the logistics is only the implementation of the inventory part of the inventory is initiated in the procurement and planning side. But if the inventory and logistics has nothing to do, it is certainly one-sided, after all, the last inventory of physical management or fall on the logistics, not in the warehouse is in the "way".
    In our practice and in the implementation of different projects, when communicating with the storage department, the other side will ask some questions, for example, how much material do I have in the end? More materials? Some materials have not been out for a long time, can not save a little less? Will the future increase in capacity after the increase in inventory? In fact, this problem is not only through the analysis of logistics management can draw the conclusion, for these questions is to answer or avoid? If the answer, then it must be extended from the logistics to the supply chain analysis, if avoided, the development of enterprise warehousing management problems will become more serious, most enterprises, the logistics sector is passive, when the inventory backlog, inventory distribution is unreasonable When the "suffering" is the main logistics sector. The results are obvious, the logistics can not solve the problem of inventory, but to inventory "rational" clear.
How does logistics face inventory?
 
    1, looking for the source of inventory

    To inventory "reason" clear, is not an easy thing, whether it is a raw material library or finished product library, the first source to be placed on the procurement side, the supplier classification analysis, the supply cycle to find out. And then depends on the procurement department of the order, to understand the procurement department of the principle of classification of materials, different types of materials is how to set up safety stock, when to start ordering. Some enterprises will be multi-dimensional classification of materials, such as the use of the frequency, the amount of use, the value of materials, and some enterprises are relatively single classification, but there are always certain rules.

    2, concerned about the production

    If it is a raw material library, the front is the procurement, the back-end is the production, but if the finished product, then the front-end procurement and production, the back-end is the dealer or customer, the two types of warehouse type is also relatively large. The raw material warehouse is affected by the fluctuation of the rear end, and the product is affected by the fluctuation of the front end. No matter how it changes, the principle of analysis is similar. In this one, the production is the core, is the key point of convergence and customer procurement, of course, there are some industries to purchase and production of goods related to the weak, such as some of the material with the impact of the market, the price fluctuations, Consider the issue of procurement costs and benefits, such issues can be special treatment, in most of the time or to the production as the core to consider the supply chain upstream and downstream issues.

    Here to a company's finished product, for example, the amount of inventory, the need to see the production of the beat, and warehousing warehousing no storage plan, completely through the production plan issued, immediately after the completion of production storage, storage sector passive acceptance Material storage, it is easy to lead to unreasonable distribution of inventory. In fact, many enterprises, the production sector production molds and production lines can be adjusted according to demand, especially in some enterprises in the relocation of new factories, just in accordance with the needs of the adjustment of production methods. Logistics from the market more recent, and inventory is also "zero distance" contact, for the rationality of the stock has the greatest voice, you can put forward the production needs, which for the development of the enterprise favorable.

   3, concerned about the data

    Inventory data is based on information technology, of course, some people may say that "the data are people do up, and sometimes the data is not accurate," this argument is not wrong, but "the data is dead, people are alive ", The key to see how you get the data, if the rigid data by the conclusions of the containment, then certainly do not see the nature of things. But the data results as a basis for making judgments, then the practice of such a valid. The data and practice, in the data processing time to take into account the error, the data reasonable adjustment, which is more conducive to get accurate results.

   Then we need to pay attention to those data? First, the storage data, inventory data, inventory data, order data, etc., and which related to the field, such as material coding, material name, a variety of time, supplier information, customer information, carrier information, etc. to dozens Type of field. If you want to get more efficient information, you also need to simulate the data, such as inventory fluctuations curve. And then do a little meticulous, then the classification of materials, less can be divided into several categories, and more can be divided into dozens of categories, so not only conducive to the observation of the inventory more clearly, but also conducive to warehouse management in the layout of the cargo.

   The following are examples of an enterprise ABC classification after the inventory, which is the data we will practice the error and the information system to export data to effectively combine the data presented, we can see that the C class material inventory can be controlled The space is great.

    Inventory optimization approach
 
    Inventory control is very important for most companies, but also to enterprises more "light" more "flexible" means, but at the same time, the inventory control is also a certain risk, because it may be accompanied by the risk of out of stock, or even procurement model , Change the mode of production, change is the need for courage. A large range of inventory control is difficult to carry out, you can do some relatively small improvement, we will subdivide the material, you will find a part of the material demand and inventory is inversely proportional to, and very obvious that this part of the material inventory can be carried out Control, and will not be on the overall supply chain management "beating". According to the level of enterprise inventory management, and some inventory optimization of space, and some relatively small, but according to experience, through careful analysis in the controllable range, there will always be optimized space. As a result of the data analysis results (and other correlation analysis) in the above diagram, we conclude that through reasonable inventory control, when the unit's capacity increases by one unit, the inventory increases by 0.5-0.7 units, The coefficient value depends on the firm's optimization of the inventory.
   
   end:
Logistics is not the decision-making department of inventory control, but it can be analyzed from the logistics perspective inventory, and put forward the proposed inventory control. Logistics resources are limited, when the logistics resources can not support the growth of inventory, the logistics point of view from the need to control the inventory, or the operation of enterprises will be a big problem in our practice projects, logistics resources and inventory Management is inseparable, especially for high-speed development of enterprises, concerned about logistics and inventory management is very important.
