Adopting lean logistics mode can realize zero inventory management and reduce logistics cost, but it is hard to carry out and has higher requirements to information technology.Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have built the system of Lean Logistics Mode Based on JIT, utilized information technology of ITS,GPS,ID to realize lean logistics, and carried out the purchasing, producing and sales
Our automotive logistics develops gradually along with the rapid development of automotive industry, but our logistics industry started in a later time and it is not complete and doesn’t form a high-effective logistics mode
Summary
Automotive logistics is entity flow of automotive producer’s raw materials, components, vehicle and spare parts on steps of automotive purchase, production, sales (Fig.).
