A Research On Business Logistics Cost Management For Wal Mart Based On Blockchain

In recent years,with the rapid development of e-commerce enterprises and the introduction of new retail concept,the sales mode of retail industry has changed,and the sales of traditional retail enterprises have been greatly affected.The optimization of logistics cost management of retail enterprises has become one of the important channels to ensure their profit level.Through the analysis and research of Wal-Mart's process of optimizing logistics cost based on block chain technology,this paper provides a new technical idea for the retail industry to optimize logistics cost management.In this paper,literature collection,field research,case analysis and other research methods are used.Firstly,domestic and foreign scholars' research on blockchain technology and logistics cost management in retail industry are summarized and studied in depth to understand the current situation and expectations of the application of block chain technology in logistics field.Secondly,it introduces the blockchain technology and the logistics cost management mode of retail enterprises.Based on its distributed system,which integrates cryptography,consensus mechanism,intelligent contract,hash algorithm and other information technologies,block chain technology has the advantages of traceability,security and untouchable modification,and can solve the problems existing in logistics cost management.In terms of information asymmetry and difficulty in accountability,this paper analyses the process of optimization of retail logistics by blockchain technology from five aspects: supply chain,cold chain logistics,reverse logistics,inventory management and logistics information platform.Then,it introduces Wal-Mart's logistics cost management mode in detail,and analyses Wal-Mart's logistics cost control from four aspects: purchase cost,inventory cost,transportation cost and distribution cost.Combining with Wal-Mart's specific case,it introduces its specific research and development and implementation process of optimizing logistics cost management by using block chain technology.Finally,the factors affecting Wal-Mart's optimization of logistics cost management based on block chain technology are analyzed,such as difficulty in technology landing,mismatch of personnel,unstable external environment and lack of market orientation.Suggestions are put forward as follows:strengthening technology research and development,emphasizing talent introduction and professional training,refining landing scope,and strengthening the role of government guidance.In order to provide reference for other domestic logistics enterprises to optimize logistics cost management by using block chain technology.
