In the research of grading for China's logistics enterprises, the author re-builds the index system for grading China's logistics enterprises to overcome defects in the existing standard and puts forward "the grading of China's logistics enterprises based on index weight" innovatively. To avoid drawbacks of index weight affected by subjective factors, the author puts forward "the grading of China's logistics enterprises based on factor analysis" innovatively and proves applicability and effectiveness of this method by comparing the results of the two grading methods.Finally, the author discusses the application value of the classification and grading of China's logistics enterprises. The definition of logistics enterprises and the classification and grading of China's logistics enterprises in this paper provide research ideas and foundation for the follow-up researcher.
