Logistics Freight: The Type Of Distribution Center

Yes

1. professional distribution center.

The professional distribution center has two meanings in general. First, the distribution object and distribution technology belong to a certain professional category, which has certain comprehensiveness in a certain professional field, and the distribution of various materials of this specialty is integrated. For example, the distribution center of most manufacturing industries, most of the distribution centers currently built in Shijiazhuang, Shanghai and other places adopt this form.

The second meaning of a professional distribution center is that distribution is a specialized function.

A service distribution center that is basically not engaged in operation, such as "Monck spa distribution center" introduced by foreign materials management magazine.

2. flexible distribution center.

To some extent, the distribution center, which is opposed to second specialized distribution centers, does not develop in the direction of specialization and specialization. It can be changed at any time, and has strong adaptability to users' requirements. It does not fix the relationship between supply and demand, and continuously develops towards the distribution of users and changes the direction of distribution users.

3. supply distribution centers.

A distribution center specially designed for one or some users, such as a joint store or a joint company.

For example, the distribution center for large chain supermarkets is supplied; the spare parts distribution center for parts processing plant delivery is rationalized; the supply center of the assembly plant is rationalized; the distribution center of six shipyards in Shanghai is also a supply distribution center.

4. sales distribution center. Distribution center is the purpose of sales and distribution.

There are generally three types of sales distribution centers:

One is the distribution center that the production enterprise sells directly to its consumers for its own products, and abroad, there are many distribution centers of this type.

The other is a way of circulation enterprises doing their own business, and establishing distribution centers to expand sales. Most of the distribution centers currently planned in China belong to this type, and there are many examples abroad.

The third is a cooperative distribution center jointly operated by circulation enterprises and production enterprises.

In comparison, the trend of development in foreign countries and China is developing towards a sales distribution center.

5. city distribution center.

The distribution center with a city's scope of distribution is generally located in the economic mileage of automobile pportation because of the city's scope. The distribution center can be directly distributed to the end user, and the vehicle is used for distribution.

Therefore, this distribution center is often combined with retail operation, due to short distance and strong reaction capability.

Therefore, the distribution of multiple varieties, less batch and multi-user has more advantages.

The "Sendai wholesalers common distribution center" introduced in the logistics manual is of this type.

China's established "Beijing food distribution center" also belongs to this type.

6. regional distribution center.

With strong radiation capability and stock preparation, the distribution center will be distributed to the users of the provincial (state), national or even international scope.

This distribution center has a large scale of distribution. Generally speaking, the users are larger and the distribution volume is larger. Moreover, the distribution centers are often distributed to the next level of urban distribution centers, which are also distributed to business premises, shops, wholesalers and business users, though they are also engaged in sporadic distribution, but they are not the main form.

This type of distribution center is very common in foreign countries. The "Hanshin distribution center" introduced by foreign materials management magazine: the distribution center of Matt company of the United States, "Monk Spar distribution center" and so on belong to this type.

7. storage type distribution center.

A distribution center with strong storage function, generally speaking, in the buyer's market, the finished product sales need to have larger inventory support, and its distribution center may have strong storage function. Under the seller's market, the supply of raw materials and spare parts needs to have larger inventory support, and the supply and distribution center also has strong storage function.

Large distribution centers need larger stocks or storage distribution centers.

At present, the distribution center of our country adopts centralized inventory, and its stock is large, mostly for storage.

The distribution center of GIBA-GEIGY, Switzerland, has the world's largest repository. It can store 40 thousand pallets. The United States has a storage area with 163000 cargo locations, which shows a large storage capacity.

8. circulation distribution center.

Basically, there is no long-term storage function, only temporary storage or follow in and out mode of distribution, delivery of distribution centers.

The typical way of this distribution center is that a large number of goods are moved in and out at a certain volume, and a large distributor is used to directly enter the conveyer belt of the distributor when they are stocking, and distribute them to each user's cargo location or directly distribute to the distribution vehicle. The goods only make a little stagnation in the distribution center.

The Hanshin distribution center, which was introduced before, has only temporary storage in the center, and a large supply warehouse is stored in large quantities.

9. processing and distribution center.

Many materials point out the processing function of distribution centers, but there are few examples of processing and distribution centers.

Coal blending and distribution have been carried out in Shanghai and other cities in China. Coal blending processing has been carried out in the distribution points. The ship plate processing and distribution center jointly constructed by six shipyards in Shanghai, and the Beijing scissors board factory of the Ministry of resources, belong to this type of center.
