| Port Logistics is a new term refers the complex logistics system that appeared recently and developed from the important ports.The so-called Port Logistics develops in the port area with the harbor hardware strengths and the advanced information system. Basing on the international logistics and the industry in the Bonded Area, it integrates the resources and strengthens the hub-spokes function of the ports as the points in international logistics. It is an absolutely new concept in the view of academe, which integrated from the different logistics theories such as the Supply Chain Management and Economic Globalization. However, in the view of the industries, it is the composite logistics system thrived from the development of international logistics and the boom of multinational enterprises' investment and procurement.Viewing on the Supply Chain Management, the Supply Chain Integration and the multinational enterprises' direct investment thrive rapidly in recent years. The multinational enterprises hasten to push their international strategy in the trend of globalization. They never stop looking for the business chances around the world and searching for the new-booming market in the developing countries, especially for the increasing engine in the port area. Thus the Port Logistics is driven not only by the international trade, but also by the multinational enterprises' business style. Under the strategy of globalization, multinational enterprises produce variety of parts and accessories around the ports, and transport and assemble them in other bonded area. So the links ask for Port Logistics and the Port Logistics construction in our country is on the schedule now. We should update the logistics notion and renew the logistics facilities to meet the globalization trend.Besides, as the international logistics develops, the regional economic integration grows rapidly among China and Southeast Asia countries, Hong Kong and South China and some border areas. With the development of Changjiang River Delta and Zhujiang Delta economic integration, the Port Logistics becomes more and moreimportant to the economic growth and the Port Logistics management modes will become more and more diversified. Although the Port Logistics size is quite huge in our country, the application of the new logistics technology and the logistics management is still on the low level. It is urgent to improve the efficiency of the Port Logistics, especially the efficiency of the Customs. Our government emphasizes on the logistics research and resources integration, and got some success from the E-port System and EDI Clearance System, in which we deliver and check the documents on-line.There are six chapters in this thesis combining the quantity analysis and the case study with some tables and data. At first, it will introduce the Supply Chain Management, and contrast the new trend with the situation of our country's Port Logistics to expatriate the necessity and urgency of our Port Logistics construction. Then it will combine the new trend of international logistics with the detail instruction to our Port Logistics construction, and discuss the feasibility. At last, it will make some conclusions and suggestions, and look forward to the prospect of our Port Logistics construction after China entry into WTO.The first chapter introduces the origin of the logistics theory and evolution from the logistics theory to the Supply Chain Management. Viewing the process from the standardization-postponement to the flexible production, it introduces the vertical Supply Chain Integration. And then it emphasizes on the new management mode such as OEM and VMI. After that, it continues to introduce the horizontal Supply Chain Integration with the development of Outsourcing and the Third Part Logistics. And the horizontal Supply Chain Integration will strongly push the standardization and the socialization of the Port Logistics.By introducing the status quo of the Port Logistics, the second chapter analyses the main weaknesses... |
