At present, China's logistics efficiency has achieved obvious results, but the total cost of social logistics, enterprise logistics cost ratio and other key indicators are still significantly higher than the developed countries in Europe and the United States, logistics industry is still large but not strong, the support to the real economic development is not strong enough to lead the problem.
"At present, the efficiency of logistics in China has achieved obvious results, but the key indicators such as the total cost of social logistics and the cost of enterprise logistics are still significantly higher than those of developed countries in Europe and the United States. The logistics industry still has problems such as large and weak, and insufficient support for the real economic development. "The Director of Transportation and Logistics of the Economic Operation Regulatory Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, Licong, recently stated at the" 2018 China Smart Logistics Innovation Partners Conference. "
According to the "Economic Reference News" reporter, in order to further promote the efficiency of logistics, many companies have accelerated the construction of smart logistics. By 2020, they are expected to achieve the popularization of automatic driving technology at the end and mass production of unmanned distribution vehicles.

It is worth mentioning that as the first year of supply chain innovation application in 2018, supply chain application has become the core content of logistics. With regard to the supply chain system, the Ministry of Commerce will also work with relevant departments this year to improve the intelligence and wisdom of the supply chain in areas such as agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, household appliances, clothing and furniture, and catering.
Intelligent logistics, efficiency, huge space.
China's logistics efficiency gains. At the macro level, from 2012 to 2017, the total cost of social logistics in China fell from 18 % to 14.6 % of GDP. From the microcosmic level, the cost of enterprise logistics is also gradually declining. However, Licong also pointed out that China's logistics industry still has the problem of the mismatch between the scale of the industry and the development quality benefits. The key indicators such as the total cost of social logistics and the rate of enterprise logistics costs are still significantly higher than those of developed countries in Europe and the United States. There is still a lot of room for logistics efficiency.

Among them, in terms of social logistics organizations, the road freight industry is narrow, the use rate of transport vehicles is low, and multimodal transport has problems that are not well connected and bad. The proportion of sea-rail transport is far lower than that of Western developed countries, and the sharing of logistics information is not open enough. The phenomenon of "information chimneys" and "information islands" is still very prominent.
In terms of enterprise logistics management, most enterprises still lack the concept of supply chain management, lack of coordination between upstream and downstream, manufacturing companies generally do not establish a standardized method of logistics cost accounting, and corporate cost reduction is often to lower the price of logistics services. And neglected the hidden cost of logistics under the iceberg.
In terms of the logistics development environment, the cost of land, manpower, transportation capacity, capital and other factors has risen rapidly in recent years, and the transportation structure is unreasonable. The main advantages of railway water transportation have not yet been brought into play, the market is not standardized, and the market transaction costs are relatively high

"As an important direction of the development of modern logistics, intelligent logistics is of great significance to promote the efficiency of logistics and promote the development of high-quality logistics. " said Licong.
Wangxifu, director of logistics engineering at the School of Transportation and Transportation, China Jiaotong University, believes that the goal of intelligent logistics is to reduce costs and improve efficiency. "After the rise of third-party logistics, China's logistics costs have been reduced by 5 %. After the process optimization combination, logistics costs have been reduced by 5 % -10 %. Through innovative technology applications, logistics costs may be reduced by 10 % -20 %. With the application of intelligent logistics, Lower costs will do better. "

According to Caijin, vice president of the China Logistics and Procurement Federation, with the help of intelligent logistics, the space, intensity and pertinence of reducing costs will become more and more large. "The core goal of smart logistics and smart supply chain is to reduce costs. Only by reducing costs can we meet the logistics requirements of China's economic transformation and upgrading, and the efficiency and profit space of the entire social economy can be greatly enhanced.
