The logistics industry of our country just starts, so it will have huge development potential and market potential. After entering into WTO, the abroad logistics tycoons make a forced landing layout in succession, while the local business enterprises flowing out into the logistics market. Because of low integration degree of resources, backward idea, simple service species and insufficient service, etc., the local ones can't compete with the foreign logistics business enterprises. As one of the large circulation enterprises in China, Zhejiang Materials Industry Group Corporation (ZJMI) is now in the stage turning into the field of modern circulation, when to develop modern logistics, and improve core competence becomes the main content of the group reform and development. As we know, logistics will be a new source of the group profits. To help the group be a leading modern circulation enterprise, the main thing the enterprise leaders should do immediately is to develop modern logistics in a proper and scientific method.This dissertation carried on the following studies:1.
