An efficient logistics system provides favorable support for the continuous development of international trade, improves the interests of all countries in participating in trade, and turns more non-tradable goods into tradable goods.
In order to minimize costs, many enterprises purchase raw materials and components from countries and regions with the lowest cost in the world, and at the same time sell finished products around the world. The purchase and sale of multinational enterprises occupy an increasing proportion in international trade.
According to statistics, multinational enterprises control two thirds of the world's international trade. In the current situation of multi-variety production, increasing trend of small-batch production, shortening of product life cycle and increasingly fierce trade competition, enterprises cannot fight alone. Only through the joint participation of partners, such as suppliers, traders, retailers and agents, can they make dynamic improvement of products and constantly tap into the new needs of customers. This requires the formation of an efficient global supply chain system to continuously integrate global resources.
Enterprises can rely on highly flexible and fast response logistics and supply chain system, the world comprehensive reorganization, further optimization of factors allocation, production positioning and layout, and thus realize the maximization of trade benefits.
In the management of the global supply chain, e-commerce technology is used to optimize the supply chain management, first to complete the integration of the enterprise's internal business process, and then to extend to the partners outside the enterprise, to achieve the comprehensive integration of production, procurement, inventory, sales and financial and human resources management, so that the logistics, information flow, capital flow to maximize the efficiency, the ideal supply chain operation into reality.
All logistics management in the supply chain can be coordinated through information communication, responsibility allocation and mutual cooperation among all members of the supply chain, which can reduce the uncertainty of each member of the chain and reduce the operating costs of each member.
Businesses can use less equipment to turn over inventory, reduce capital usage and cut overhead, thereby reducing costs and improving the efficiency of activities such as shipping, packaging, signage and paperwork processing.
Thus, international logistics has become an important factor affecting and restricting the further development of international trade. The development of international logistics has greatly improved the environment of international trade and provided various convenient conditions for international trade. The rapid growth of world trade is inseparable from the development of international logistics.
