The application of information technology in printing logistics
the logistics process is completed by a multi link complex system. All links are organically linked through physical entities, and the basic resources in the system are adjusted timely and appropriately according to the needs of the overall goal. In this system, the basic function of logistics is the basic ability of logistics activities and the best effective combination of logistics activities, so as to form the overall function of logistics, so as to achieve the ultimate economic purpose of logistics. The functions of modern logistics are generally composed of packaging, loading and unloading, transportation, storage and storage, circulation and processing, distribution, recycling of waste materials and the corresponding logistics information management system, so as to form product production plan, order and purchase plan, transportation plan, storage plan, logistics capacity plan, and carry out cost accounting. It is through these main functions and modern logistics information that plays a nervous system role that modern logistics ensures the normal production and sales of enterprises
China's printing industry is developing at a rapid speed, in which logistics also plays a very important role. However, the production and management law of the printing industry is different from other industries, with a unique production organization. In the printing industry, printing enterprises schedule production according to customers' orders. This production feature of order before production makes printing enterprises not need to produce a large number of long-term product storage like the consumer electronics market or the candy food industry. Therefore, during the storage and storage of printing products, the problems considered in terms of temperature, humidity and other influencing factors are less than those in other industries. However, the reasonable allocation of means of production, such as ink, paper, printing plate and other resources in the whole production cycle, as well as the reserve of spare parts and maintenance resources, all require the management to be well aware and properly scheduled, so as to achieve the purpose of maximizing the profits of printing enterprises with the lowest cost through the organization, coordination and control of logistics activities
using information management in printing production will become a powerful guarantee for printing enterprises to expand business, reduce costs and improve profits
the position of information technology in printing logistics management
e-logistics is the integrated application of e-commerce and modern logistics technology. With the rapid development of e-commerce in the world and the increasingly in-depth development of modern logistics, e-logistics is an inevitable product of the development of e-commerce and modern logistics. E-logistics has become the general trend of the development of e-commerce and logistics in the 21st century. Conceptually, e-logistics is the use of electronic means, especially the use of Internet technology to complete the coordination, control and management of the whole process of logistics, and realize all intermediate process services from the front end of the network to the final client. E-logistics integrates various functions of e-commerce and modern logistics. It can realize seamless links between systems, enterprises and between capital flow, logistics and information flow. At the same time, this link also has the function of foresight, which can provide a transparent visualization function between upstream and downstream enterprises to help enterprises control and manage inventory to the greatest extent; At the same time, due to the comprehensive application of advanced information technology means such as customer relationship management, business intelligence, computer integration, geographic information system, global positioning system, wireless Internet technology, as well as logistics management technology and logistics mode such as distribution optimization scheduling, dynamic monitoring, intelligent transportation, storage optimization configuration, e-logistics provides a set of advanced and integrated information technology means, Thus, it provides strong technical support for enterprises to establish an agile supply chain system. Figure 1 is the flow chart of e-commerce logistics system
however, at present, many printing enterprises still stay in the era of paper and pencil, and lack effective information support systems in logistics management. Although enterprises have equipped employees with computers, they have not constructed these computers into an effective system according to the production characteristics of enterprises, or have not formed their own local network. In many cases, they still work in the Internet environment, lacking network security protection, At the same time, there is also a lack of application of advanced information technologies such as EDI, personal computer, communication, bar code and scanning in logistics operation. The content of most printing enterprises' stations only introduces the situation of the enterprise, the main printing equipment and the printing content that can be undertaken, and the lack of e-trade and E-contract, which are very necessary in e-commerce. In some areas of utilization, there are strict standards for the stamping of stainless steel materials, such as machinery manufacturing, automobile and ship plates, etc. if the stamping performance is not qualified in the process of mechanical forming, It is easy to cause the cracking of stainless steel plates and seriously affect the product quality. However, some information technology can greatly reduce the operating cost of enterprises and improve the operating efficiency. It is these phenomena that cause the inefficiency of enterprises in information collection, processing and real-time tracking, as well as the lack of a comprehensive, accurate and dynamic grasp of upstream and downstream logistics information. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve the integration of internal and external logistics to seek the optimization and rationalization of the logistics system, and even the basic smooth flow of goods is difficult to achieve, let alone seize the fleeting opportunities, And then strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises themselves
the support of enterprise management
countless evidences have confirmed that the support of management is a major factor in the successful implementation of process transformation. In the investigation of the reasons for the failure of logistics process transformation, the most often mentioned is the lack of strong support from the management. The project sponsor plays a vital role in reaching a consensus on the project and monitoring the whole project cycle. During the implementation of the project, management personnel should directly participate in the development process of the whole project and give continuous support. In the cross enterprise process transformation project, the management relationship between enterprises has a great impact on the smooth implementation of the project. The management should not only give support in the initiation stage of the project, but also increase support throughout the implementation stage, but also directly participate in the implementation of the project, including help within the enterprise and mutual coordination and negotiation among multiple enterprises. The relationship between the management and the information technology director is also a factor that must be considered in the implementation of the project. The failure of the information system may be caused by the opposition between the two. Therefore, whether the enterprise logistics information system can be successfully implemented is directly related to the support and effect of the management
enterprises should implement the overall development strategy for the information support platform of the whole supply chain system, and establish information systems in the whole supply chain field, not just from the perspective of an enterprise. In this way, enterprises can clearly understand the status of product flow, service flow and information flow in the whole supply chain. At the same time, we should integrate advanced manufacturing and management technology into the supply chain management strategy to solve the problem of "program" and "goal". At present, people have developed and mastered many advanced manufacturing technologies and management technologies, such as cad/cam, CAPP, CE, MRP, ERP, etc. only by integrating these advanced technologies into a higher management level management mode and making them adapt to the supported management mode, can they play their maximum role. Dongguan Hucai Printing Group Co., Ltd. is an enterprise that has successfully implemented printing ERP earlier. Its decision-making level has long paid attention to information technology, and has unremittingly injected advanced information technology into the production and management of the enterprise. At first, the company developed software modules suitable for its own needs, such as financial module, personnel module and inventory module. With the rapid development of the enterprise, When the original module is far from meeting the production needs of the enterprise, Tiger color company hired a professional software company to help develop a printing ERP system that meets its own operation and production needs. At the same time, it also increased its own development efforts to ensure daily software maintenance and modifications for production changes. The system realizes the personnel management and operation management from the general manager to each machine to accept the detailed production tasks assigned by the production scheduling. The authority is clear and the tasks are clear. The general manager can not only clearly understand the production and operation status of a printing machine in front of his computer in real time, but also master the inventory status of products in detail. Through the exploration and practice of information management, the printing ERP system of Hucai company has achieved good benefits in both enterprise resource integration and work efficiency, and is playing a great role in the rapid development of the enterprise
project planning and implementation
project planning and implementation depends on the consistency between the logistics informatization strategy of the enterprise and its own overall strategy, as well as the implementation strategy of the project. Whether the strategy of enterprise logistics informatization transformation is consistent with the long-term goal of the enterprise itself. The higher the degree of consistency, the easier it is to implement the process transformation smoothly; Whether the transformed process is the core process of the enterprise, and whether these core processes can significantly improve the market competitiveness of the enterprise. When planning the information system, we should first formulate the system framework according to the existing equipment, and at the same time, we should also consider the future development of the enterprise, such as whether the enterprise will add gravure printing machines to the existing offset printing workshop and flexographic printing workshop in the next 3 to 5 years, or increase the post printing processing capacity, which needs to be considered when planning the information system framework, so as to prepare for the implementation of information system upgrading in the future
develop logistics outsourcing
most domestic printing enterprises operate in a "large and comprehensive" and "small and comprehensive" way, which confirms that printing enterprises have not yet realized the transformation from the competitive thinking of operating in isolation and fighting independently to the new thinking of cooperative competition and seeking win-win, and lack the values of mutual trust, interdependence, mutual benefit and common development with external supply chain enterprises. Extensive use of third-party logistics service companies can give full play to their respective advantages, liberate printing enterprises from the complex work of product transportation, and use their main energy in their own core business to improve their core competitiveness, so as to win in the fierce competition in the printing industry with their integrated core competitiveness. However, at present, only 60% of domestic enterprises are considering whether to outsource logistics, and about 30% of enterprises are looking for a suitable third-party logistics. It can be seen that Chinese enterprises are still not completely free from the production and management mode of how to deal with the imbalance of radial force of gear pump in the process of using hydraulic universal testing machine
in the process of logistics outsourcing, on the one hand, through information comparison, we can find powerful professional logistics companies to undertake the transportation of printing products, on the other hand, we can establish dynamic network information in the enterprise information system, timely track the price changes of raw materials and the emerging new printing technologies and processes, so as to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the logistics information of upstream and downstream manufacturers, and for the raw materials required by the printing equipment of the enterprise, Establishing a product database for suppliers who can provide raw materials can not only enable raw material suppliers to provide the latest product information, but also actively collect the product data of emerging enterprises, reduce the production cost of enterprises to the greatest extent by comparing the cost performance of products. At the same time, it also uses the Internet to collect the information of competitors in the printing industry, so as to know yourself and know the enemy, and be invincible in a hundred battles
