The Circulation Industry Development Department of the Ministry of Commerce interprets the article:

Improve the level of unit logistics and promote the efficiency of logistics

1. The background of the compilation of "opinion":
At present, China's economy has shifted from high speed growth stage to high quality development stage. The main contradiction of society is the contradiction between people's growing needs of life and unbalanced development. The changes in the main contradictions in the new era will inevitably affect the logistics industry, and need to pay more attention to the development of quality, efficiency and efficiency. The logistics industry as the foundation, support the development of the national economy industry, after years of rapid development, the continued expansion of the scale of logistics operation efficiency, steadily, the ratio of total logistics costs to GDP decreased from 18% in 2012 to 14.9% in 2016, 2017 will be reduced, China has become the global logistics "power", a number of indicators are ranked first in the world. But we should also clearly realize that there are still many contradictions in the development of China's logistics industry structure, logistics service quality and logistics operation efficiency. There is still a long way to go from "logistics power".
As the most basic logistics unit, pallets are widely used in the field of production and circulation, and play a leading role in promoting the integrated logistics operation. It is an effective measure to promote the application of standard tray and develop unit logistics. Since 2014, the Ministry of Commerce, together with the Ministry of Finance and the National Standard Committee and other departments, has carried out logistics standardization pilot projects and special actions, taking the standard pallet and its circular sharing as the main line, promoting the standardized link up of all links of logistics, and improving the level of logistics standardization. After several years' efforts, the standard pallet application level has been greatly improved. The application of logistics standardization facilities and equipment has been gradually popularized, and the pallet loop sharing system has been initially established. The exploration has formed a mature mode to promote the standardization of logistics, and significant progress has been made in the efficiency and efficiency of the logistics reduction. However, compared with the developed countries, the standard pallet share and pallet transport level in China is still not high. It is urgent to expand the application scope of standard pallets and develop the whole chain logistics standardization.
To this end, the Ministry of Commerce and the national development and Reform Commission, Ministry of industry and information technology, Ministry of finance, Ministry of transport and other 9 departments issued the "opinions" to share, wider and longer chain, play a higher level of logistics unit tray, lifting unit of the logistics level, promote the quality and efficiency of logistics.

2. The main features of the "opinion":
One is to highlight the requirements of the whole chain. "Opinions" stressed from the manufacturing factory after the session began, the wholesale and retail supply chain, has been to the sales terminal, in the whole logistics process, with the standard pallet (packing box, turnover box) throughout, covering the production, logistics, sales of the whole chain of standardization.
Two is to highlight the requirements of the logistics unit. The "opinion" emphasizes the integration of logistics with logistics unit, and further promote the coordination of logistics chain and supply chain. Expand the logistics unit function of pallet (packing box and turnover box), upgrade from loading unit to metering unit and data unit, and enhance the level of logistics information and intelligence.
The three is the requirement of the circulation sharing of the protruding gear. The "opinion" emphasizes the use of carrier cycle sharing system as the basis of unit logistics, giving full play to the role of market players in various aspects, and speeding up the construction of operation service network with trunk line and branch line collaboration, leasing and switching parallel, online and offline integration.

3. The main objectives, key tasks and safeguards of the opinion:
The "opinions" from the logistics standardization level and lowering the efficiency of proposed two specific objectives: to 2020, accounting for the amount of standard pallet pallet ratio from the current 27% to 32% above, application proportion increased from the current 65% to 70% above; the enterprise handling cost is greatly reduced, the damage rate decreased significantly. The unloading efficiency, vehicle turnover rate increased significantly.
The "opinion" puts forward six major tasks: one is to accelerate the application of the standard tray. In the field of application, we should speed up the popularization and application of standard pallets, pay attention to meet the standard requirements in terms of size, structure and quality, and work together at the supply side and demand side, step by step to eliminate non-standard pallets and reduce disposable pallets. The two is to promote the standardization of the link of each link in the logistics chain. Taking the pallet size standard as the core, we promote the matching of the logistics carriers such as packing boxes, turnover boxes, carriages and so on, and connect the logistics facilities and equipments such as storage, loading and unloading, handling, sorting, packing and other logistics facilities. The three is to promote the circulation of logistics vehicles. We should strengthen our professional operation service providers and set up an open platform to integrate the regional operation network through quality certification and online offline integration, so as to achieve a nationwide circular sharing system. Four is to promote the integration of logistics unit and integrated operation. Enterprises such as manufacturing, logistics, commerce and circulation should be encouraged to standardize logistics operations such as packaging, storage, loading and unloading, transportation, sorting, distribution, transportation and other aspects, and coordinate the operation of logistics integration. The five is to improve the level of logistics chain information and intelligence. The function of data unit of pallet and turnover box is improved. The GS1 code is used to identify related pallet code and box code and commodity bar code, so as to achieve smooth exchange of information in all links of logistics and create intelligent supply chain. The six is to promote the advanced and mature model. To promote the pilot and special actions, we summarized the four modes of "group whole push", "supply chain synergy promotion", "social service promotion" and "platform integration and promotion".

4, the "opinions" put forward four aspects of the safeguard measures.
One is to improve the standard system. Further carry out the basic standard research on the unit logistics carrier, and improve the equipment, operation, service and management standards of the logistics chain. The two is to increase policy support. Encourage innovative support policies to support cross regional linkage, encourage foreign investment to carry common system construction and operation, and encourage local local conditions to introduce support policies. The three is to create a market environment. Promote pallet quality certification and green packaging certification, support port and field station carry out transport, guide pallet users to carry out transportation to create convenient access conditions. The four is to strengthen the training of statistics. Study on the establishment of logistics standardization statistics system, strengthen the standard Publicizing and professional training.
Next, the 10 departments, such as the Ministry of Commerce, will further improve policies and measures according to the requirements of the "opinions" to jointly promote the application of standard pallets in China and promote the development of unit logistics, helping to improve quality and efficiency of logistics.


Interpretation of China warehouse and Distribution Association:

Seize the development unit of logistics key

1. Developing unit logistics is a major measure to promote the standardization of logistics
Unitized logistics refers to from the beginning of the product using a standardized module packaging specification, in the process of logistics in accordance with certain quality and volume of container unit combined into standard, each link in the supply chain to the container unit for storage, organization of transportation, handling, information processing, logistics, container unit status always keep unchanged, until the terminal receiving point. The higher the proportion of the unit logistics, the higher the logistics efficiency, the better the quality and the lower the cost.
Containers, pallets, containers and other containers is an important unit of logistics system, logistics unit development is an important way to promote the standardization of logistics system, especially from the product packaging, transportation, warehousing, distribution to the end of the link standard, will also drive the operation process, the transfer of goods, goods back, comprehensive logistics information standardization, therefore, the development of logistics unit is a major measure to comprehensively promote logistics standardization.
 
2. The sharing of pallet circulation is the important foundation of the construction of the unit logistics system
Unitized logistics is a system engineering, the tray is the most important element in the logistics system of the unit in unit plays an important role in QianYiFaErDongQuanShen logistics system, application development unit must accelerate logistics standard pallet, comprehensively promote the construction of circular tray share system. "Opinions" provisions in 1200mm * 1000mm as the only standard size tray (pallet structure, quality and also conform to the standard), the tray unit according to the standards will gradually become the most important component of China's logistics industry in the container unit, work unit, metering unit and data unit, with the standard pallet for establishing unit logistics system, logistics development units do catch a bid.
To promote circular sharing of pallets and pallets and other containers, and from the beginning of logistics to the end of distribution, pallets cannot be separated from goods. When arriving at the terminal, pallets as assets will be invested in a new round of unit logistics operations, that is, pallet cycle sharing system. With the circulation between pallets in logistics and upstream and downstream businesses, logistics providers, product packaging, loading and unloading equipment and so on need to be coordinated with pallet standards to form a standardized logistics unit system.
As the tray operation unit, the logistics operation of our country out of order of great impact, the original rules are broken, need to develop new business rules and processes, promote logistics unit, integration of operations for pallets and containers (basket) with GS1 encoding a unified global identifier, and associated with the goods the code can greatly improve the logistics chain information and intelligence level.
Focus on the development of logistics unit promotion standard tray, "opinions" put forward six major tasks, from basic to advanced, from the shallower to the deeper, the technology is applied to the model, from the order on the step by step, interlocking, with circular tray share based construction path given unit of logistics system, the maneuverability is strong, have obvious guidance for promoting the work of various departments. It is beneficial to the cooperation between government departments and related enterprises, enterprises and enterprises.

3, give full play to the role of the industry organization and develop the unit logistics
Logistics standardization is a technical, professional strong work, China warehousing and Distribution Association is the extension of the standard pallet, professional organization construction circular tray share system, since 2014, has been actively assist the Ministry of commerce circulation development to promote the standardization of logistics policy implementation. The association took the lead in the domestic attention and research the common cycle model of open tray, 2015 under the guidance of the development division of the Ministry of commerce circulation, Chinese warehousing and Distribution Association led, Joint Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, China department store business association, Chinese barcode technology and Application Association (ECR) and Chinese Packaging Corporation jointly established China logistics standardization alliance. Get a closed loop is represented in the road, Kai sets preserving national pallet rental rapid development, the alliance will focus on the construction of an open cycle shared system tray from the beginning of 2017, and developed a series of standards, in November 2017 to promote the first open standard pallet put into use in Tianjin.
With the introduction of the "opinions", continue to do a good job in the pre unio has been carried out, will strengthen the development of open tray and related facilities and equipment standards, improve the open tray encoding work, further study of free conversion pallet rental resale, exchange, circulation share modes, promote the expansion of open operation network the construction and improvement of relevant rules and regulations, the construction of pallet operation management platform to promote the establishment of a sound industry, open circulation system, to make the greatest contribution to the development of China's logistics unit!

The Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce interprets the article:
A good way to promote the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry

The promulgation and implementation of "opinions" will promote the wide application of standard pallets in the field of application, realize the integrated logistics operation, and promote the logistics industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency, which is of great significance. First, it is beneficial to promote the development of unit logistics, and to find the supporting point in the process of the construction of the logistics standardization system. The Ministry of Commerce in 2014 launched the "trade logistics standardization special action plan", promoting the standardization of logistics development: the first half of 2017, the total output of the standard pallet pallet yield of about 61 million, accounting for 45% of the total, the standard tray tray in quantity in the proportion reached 28%; the relevant supporting facilities the level of standardization to enhance standardization of pallets, crates, pallets cage unit of logistics equipment is used more and more widely; the pallet rental and gradually become the common cycle tray application trade logistics development direction of the industry, the standard pallet rental market size of about pallet pool has reached 18 million, enterprises in the use of standard pallet leasing willingness of enhanced. But at the same time, there are still some problems such as the lack of awareness of standard pallets, the lack of supporting services in pallet operation enterprises, and the lack of relevant standards in some fields. Under this background, the introduction of "opinion" is not only the embodiment of meeting the development demand of China's logistics standardization, but also a good way to promote the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry. The two is to promote the consistent operation of logistics, and to find the foothold in the deepening of the structural reform of the supply side. Through the implementation of the "opinions", the development of logistics unit starting from the application of standard pallet, improve the port, station, warehouse handling efficiency and space utilization, promote the logistics unit, integrated operation, supply side structural reforms will speed up the logistics industry, to enhance the overall efficiency of the logistics chain, improve logistics service quality, meet high quality, personalized and diversified logistics demand increasing. Three is helpful to promote the innovation and development of the logistics industry, and find the growth point in the development of the new kinetic energy of the logistics industry. Through the implementation of "opinions", we will integrate idle logistics resources, promote various market players to strengthen cooperation and cooperation, achieve rules interoperability, resource sharing and network integration, and explore a new batch of new methods and modes in the aspects of logistics carrier recycling and sharing.

The content of "opinion" has the characteristics of practical and innovative. One is to promote the integration of unit logistics with the open development thinking. Our country has a wide geographical area, and there are great differences in the development of logistics. The single mode of promoting pallet circular sharing and developing unit logistics is difficult. The "opinion" fully combines the development experience and bottleneck of all over the world, and makes use of the open development thinking to promote the integration of unit logistics. For example, the "opinions" to expand the application field of the standard pallet, small appliances, industrial parts into the encouraged scope of application; encourage the development of pallet certification, construction of open circular tray share system; to encourage and actively explore different brands of tray fusion share, improve resource intensive development level etc.. The two is to develop the modern supply chain with the idea of innovation and development. The tray is not only the loading unit of the cargo transportation foundation, but also the most basic recording unit of the logistics information system. "Opinions" of the unit logistics development into smart supply chain construction, encourage the use of a unified global encoding identification (GS1), the information bearing function to improve the standard of the carrier, push from the container unit increased gradually as the data unit, and the use of big data, cloud computing, networking, block chain, artificial intelligence and other advanced technology and strengthen the application of data analysis, which will be conducive to empowerment through digital logistics industry, with the support of supply chain to create a smart intelligent logistics, optimization of production, circulation, sales and traceability management, promote the whole industry chain efficiency. The three is to develop thinking in a pragmatic way and promote the acceleration of policy and measures to the ground. "Opinion" has fully considered the actual demand in content design, absorbed the experience of previous logistics standardization work, and was innovative and operational in promoting standard pallets and developing unit logistics. Especially in the process of pre pilot construction, the contradiction between logistics cross regional operation characteristics and local enterprises to undertake the project construction, the "opinions" to encourage policy innovation to support conditional support, inter regional linkage, radiating surrounding the project, the logistics business and the local development of the field of development business entities are encouraged and support for local legal field carry out, fully embodies the large circulation and market thinking.

Building a shared platform for standardized circulatory logistics vehicles

"Opinions" on the demand side to truly grasp the development of the logistics chain optimization of the propulsion unit pulse supply; on the supply side to identify the pallet logistics carrier circulation mode and related commercial construction sharing system development and construction direction, with high professional and guiding significance for further promote the tray as the logistics container unit apparatus in the supply chain between the upstream and downstream circulation provides a good policy environment.

At the end of demand, we think that "opinion" pays special attention to the standardization link and logistics information problem of pallet along the supply chain dynamic circulation and logistics consistent operation. First, we need to push forward the unit logistics and enhance the efficiency of logistics supply chain. As the base of the most basic supply chain, pallet is the basis of the optimization and integration of the upstream and downstream logistics systems in the supply chain. The unified size standard does not solve the problem of the whole system. It is necessary to promote the standardization of the facilities for the upstream and downstream facilities. "Opinions" explicitly encourage the use of 600mmX400mm series packaging module, promotion of dimensions for freight vehicle 2550mm, this is for the standard pallet carrier can lay a good foundation to achieve consistent operations between the downstream supply chain. In addition, also need in the enterprise and supply chain trading partners to establish a set of operation and tray matching processes, such as unit order mode, pallet standard, transport units, unit cargo unit, warehouse operation mode etc.. Two, through the integration of information flow, to further promote the efficiency of real logistics. At present, even if the goods with plate transport to downstream enterprises from upstream enterprises in accordance with the stacking standard, due to the upstream and downstream enterprises in the information flow is not smooth, the receiver still need to remove the plate and confirmed by the quantity of goods, merchandise encoding, or even to spend a lot of manpower and the commodity logistics attribute data management system and its input manual measurement the resulting upgrade failed to strip transportation on the supply chain efficiency fully. "Opinion" has caught the pain point that impeded the development of belt transport because of the fragmentation of information flow. It has become one of the important tasks to improve the information and intelligence level of logistics chain. We think, open up the upstream and downstream enterprise commodity bar code and box code, code box codes and logistic unit group of the board (SSCC) of the association, through the global data synchronization (GDSN) real-time updat commodity based information platform, thus promoting the electronic advance shipment notification (ASN) to realize fast handover is the real goods, open up the upstream and downstream the flow of information between enterprises and effective solutions.

On the supply side, that is, how to push forward the construction of circular sharing system. What we feel most deeply is the policy oriented professionalism, openness and inclusiveness in the opinion. One is the cooperative development of lease and exchange. Pallet cycle sharing is the most typical application mode of unit logistics appliances. It is also an important form of green logistics, and also an important measure of promoting the standardization of business logistics development in recent years by the Ministry of commerce circulation development department. "Opinions" to encourage "logistics vehicle operation enterprises bigger and stronger, to expand the standard pallet, turnover box, scale of operations" also encouraged "to carry out certification, making pallet pallet exchange rules, explore the establishment of rental and free exchange transfer mechanism combination is critical and appropriate. The global mainstream market circulation mode lease mode and shared whiteboard mode (i.e. in the establishment of pallet standards, certification, supervision and exchange trading rules based on the users of their purchase and have the tray and tray through the trading market for the sale and exchange and circulation service). For China, which has huge consumption market and the characteristics of the world factory at the same time, it is necessary to explore the whiteboard mode while developing the leasing mode, and ultimately achieve the complementarity and synergy between the two circular business models. The two is the sharing of the platform and the resources. The "opinion" refers to the promotion of the "platform integration" model, and encourages platform enterprises to further integrate the resources of the pallet supply and demand side and the operation party. In the early stage of policy guidance, more and more enterprises are in different mode into the pallet, most new enterprises can according to their own advantages in different segments of the market development, and business model innovation, adding new subjects and new formats to this area to speed up the construction and promotion of circular common mode in the whole country, also expanded the market the foundation for the further coordination of the future. A member of China Merchants road Kai as the central enterprises of China Merchants Group is to build the logistics supply chain ecosystem, related enterprises are very happy with the industry, the integration of market resources together to build a cooperative, standardized logistics cycle load sharing platform with the greatest ability to become the backbone of the national logistics carrier construction cycle shared system.
