Research On Relationship Between Logistics Center Demand And It's Function And Scale

With the development of economical globalization, marketing integration and information technique, modern logistics has become a very important industry in market economics. Logistics service covers the whole course in supply chain and becomes more socialized. The processes of supply chain are integrated and managed dependently on information. As a significant link in logistics network, logistics center are thought highly of by government, enterprise and expert. Under influence of 'logistics fervor' in our country, logistics parks and logistics centers which are constructed in many places seem to result to many serious problems, such as facilities left unused and so on. In fact, the key points to solve these problems are demand analysis and forecasting, the match of demand, function and scale. This paper focuses on three problems: logistic center demand forecasting, the relationship of demand and function of center and the relationship of demand and scale of center to find solutions.This paper includes three parts.First, on the base of forecasting theories, this paper summarizing four steps in logistics center demand forecasting, which are investigating, regional logistics demand forecasting, considering different pattern of logistics and competitive ability in the region.Second, this paper analysis the influence of logistics demand to logistics center function. It appears to be different stage in supply chain, supply environment in region and logistics characteristic of goods. The paper divided goods into different types according to their logistics character.Third, analyzing the influence of demand to center scale , this paper puts forward a improved method in calculating service area. This paper provide mathematics models in calculating scales.At last, apply the analyses course which this text put forward to the southwest automotive parts logistics center planning.
