Carbon emission efficiency and spatially linked network structure of China’s logistics industry

This paper uses the EBM model to measure the carbon emission efficiency of the logistics industry in 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2019 and analyzes its spatial and temporal evolution characteristics using ARCGIS visualization. On this basis, the structural characteristics of the spatial correlation network of carbon emission efficiency of the logistics industry in China and its influencing factors are explored and analyzed by using the social network analysis method and the quadratic distribution method (QAP). The study shows that: 1) The national average logistics industry carbon emission efficiency increased from 2010 to 2019, and the spatial logistics industry carbon emission efficiency shows the characteristics of East > Central > Northeast > West, and most of the provinces in China are still in the middle and low logistics industry carbon emission efficiency zone. 2) The carbon emission efficiency of logistics industry in 30 provinces in China has formed a stable spatial correlation network, and there is an obvious spatial spillover relationship. However, the structure of the spatial association network is loose, and there are obvious gaps in the status of each province in the spatial association network. The provinces in the eastern region are at the core of the spatial correlation network, while the provinces in the northeast and west are at the periphery of the spatial correlation network. 3) The reduction of geographical distance between provinces, the greater the differences in logistics development level, logistics energy intensity and logistics environmental protection level, and the higher the similarity of logistics informatization level, the more it can promote the formation of spatial correlation network.

Psychological health correlation of express delivery workers' occupational stress in the information logistics environment.

With the promotion of the Internet of Things technology, more and more industries have begun to combine with the Internet of Things technology. After joining the WTO, China’s market economy has continued to deepen. During this period, the e-commerce industry has developed rapidly, which has promoted the rise of the express delivery industry. While the rise of the industry provides jobs for employees, it also brings enormous pressure to employees. Due to the occupational stress of various stressors in the express delivery industry, a series of psychological problems have been caused. “Occupational stress” is also called occupational stress, which refers to the physiological and psychological stress caused by the imbalance between objective needs and personal adaptability in a certain occupational environment. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a correlation study on the psychological health of express delivery workers’ occupational stress in the information logistics environment. It is expected to explore the relationship between occupational stress and mental health of couriers in the context of informatization, so as to provide employees with a better working environment and reduce personal stress. Logistics informatization means that logistics enterprises use modern information technology to collect, classify, transmit, summarize, identify, track, and query all or part of the information generated in the logistics process, so as to realize the control of the flow of goods. This paper analyzed the inventory of express companies, and reasonably analyzed the profit composition of the inventory link, then used a more reasonable time series seasonal coefficient method to predict the amount of incoming shipments. This paper used a combination of theoretical and empirical methods to discuss the psychological health and occupational stress of express delivery workers and to explore the relationship between the two. The experiment results of this paper showed that in the interpersonal sensitivity analysis, the coefficient of occupational stress is 0.052, and the degree of occupational stress is proportional to interpersonal sensitivity. The higher the occupational stress, the higher the interpersonal sensitivity index. The coefficient of occupational stress is-0.31. Occupational stress is inversely proportional to age. The older the age, the lower the interpersonal sensitivity index.

Urban-Rural Logistics Coupling Coordinated Development and Urban-Rural Integrated Development: Measurement, Influencing Factors, and Countermeasures

The integrated development of urban and rural areas is the best way to promote agricultural and rural construction and achieve rural revitalization in the new era and promote the equal exchange and two-way flow of urban and rural elements. The coupling coordinated development of urban-rural logistics has opened the channel for “selling agricultural products to the cities, while selling industrial products to the countryside,” thereby laying a solid foundation for the two-way flow of factors between urban and rural areas. Therefore, it is essential to measure the grey correlation between the coupling coordination degree of urban-rural logistics and the integrated development level of urban and rural areas, analyze the key factors affecting the urban-rural integrated development, and put forward measures to promote it. First, this paper constructs an index system of coupling coordination degree; then it measures the coupling coordinated development level of urban-rural logistics using the coupling coordination degree model. Second, it constructs an index system and measures the urban-rural integrated development level using the entropy method and comprehensive weighted method. Finally, it quantitatively measures the grey correlation degree between the coupling coordination degree of urban-rural logistics and the integrated development level of urban and rural areas using the grey correlation analysis method. The results reveal that the coupling coordinated development level of urban-rural logistics has improved and the urban-rural integrated development level has had a significant upward trend. The factors in the subsystems of urban-rural logistics, such as economic environment, logistics infrastructure, logistics informatization level, logistics demand level, and logistics human resources, have an excellent effect on promoting the urban-rural integrated development.

Design of an Integrated Approach to Industrial Logistics Information Based on Supply Chain Management

In recent years, with the continuous integration and development of manufacturing and intelligent technologies, the enhancement of the intelligence and informatization of production becomes an important issue in intelligent manufacturing. Industrial logistics systems are responsible for the transport of tools and raw materials for production and processing. Therefore, industrial logistics plays an essential role in improving the production efficiency of products. The value of the supply chain comes from the synergy of the various processes between various companies. The development of industrial logistics has effectively solved the issue of the inability of logistics to synchronize product and service flows in the supply chain and is an important part of the overall supply chain for the relevant enterprises. Now, the logistics industry is an important support industry for China’s economic development, and how to achieve rapid and stable development of the logistics industry is a key issue facing China that needs to be resolved. In addition, with the globalization of the economic environment today, enterprises are facing increasingly fierce competition. In this context, most companies are taking logistics informatization as an important factor for their success. Meanwhile, with the rapid development of the information industry, new information technologies are emerging. The application of new information technologies can improve the competitiveness of enterprises to a certain extent. After all, an important feature of modern industry is the organic integration of industry and services to promote the modernization of industry. The logistics industry, as a leading service industry, has already penetrated all aspects of the industry. However, the industry has not yet developed a comprehensive approach to the integration of industrial logistics information. The selection of a model based on unilateral consideration of transport costs and other indicators is no longer appropriate to the current situation. Therefore, it is of practical significance to study the integration of logistics information in the supply chain environment. Based on supply chain management, this research explores and designs a relevant approach to the integration of industrial logistics information, thus providing some suggestions for the direction of industrial logistics.

Advanced cloud distribution mode is introduced into cross‐border e‐commerce logistics, and cloud logistics distribution network model is built using the precise center‐of‐gravity method. Based on the cloud distribution, the paper puts forward some suggestions for the development of cross‐border logistics, such as optimizing the path to reduce transshipment links, optimizing the level of logistics informatization, improving the market supervision system and credit evaluation mechanism, and improving the talent training mechanism, in order to improve the stability and security of cross‐border logistics distribution, reduce logistics costs, and improve service quality.

Necessity and Feasibility of Logistics Informatization in Ceramic Industry

During past decade, following the increase in the diversity of the patterns of client expectations and its consequent rise of industrial competition for better productions and services, organizations increasingly paved the ground for higher flexibility in production lines and product development to meet the costumers' needs. But managers of many industries learned that in order to survive in the market, improving internal procedures and company's flexibility is not solely enough but material and parts suppliers must also match the company's market development policies. Competitive environment faced companies with several challenges such as reduction of production cycles, decrease in distribution time, decrease in inventories and also waiting time, which are all of high importance to maintain profitability in the market. In order to solve these problems, the process which is now referred to as Supply Chain Management was introduced; meanwhile the notion was soon spread that the real competition was not between companies but was between supply chains indeed and logistic as a part of it was remarked. In the first step, through a critical review of the literature the constituent elements of logistics costs were integrally identified and content classified. The output of this stage developed a model that represents the main structural constituent of logistics costs with associated variables. By using a questionnaire and interviewing elites the general model was then turned into a native model in the ceramic and tile industry. Then based on conceptual cost model, consisting of structures and variables, a case study on Khayyam Ceramic and Tile Company was conducted and using financial statements and interviewing relevant units within the company, a cost framework was extracted and following results were obtained. According to the study, 11% of the total costs of the company accounted for logistics costs of which, 33% was transportation costs , 39% inventory costs, 16% storage and handling costs, and 12% costumer related services and order processing.

How to build a set of effective information incentive mechanism is the joint pursuit of many logistics information platform administrators. On the basis of principal-agent model, information incentive mechanism is designed in the Paper. At the same time, necessary analysis of information incentive factors is carried out. The research indicates that, with traditional incentive measures, logistics information platform administrators can better stimulate logistics information providers and improve precision of logistics information by virtue of information incentive measures; during the process of informatization, logistics information platform administrators also need to build a supervision system on the basis of certain punitive measures.

People-Oriented Optimization Model Of Warehouse Staff Scheduling Problem

With the development of e-commerce, China is actively promoting the construction of logistics informatization and intelligence, and simultaneously promoting the standardized and efficient development of warehousing industry, one of the important links of logistics. It is clearly pointed out in the "Medium and Long Term Plan for the Development of the Logistics Industry" issued by the State Council that "The warehousing industry is not only the main body of the traditional logistics industry, but also an important part of the modern logistics industry. In the process of material flow, the level of storage cost has a greater impact on the development of the logistics industry." This paper chooses Sinotrans Logistics Company as the research object. Sinotrans Logistics Company is the largest integrated logistics provider in China and a national 5A comprehensive logistics enterprise. The main problems in Sinotrans warehousing management include: increased operation difficulty of cross-warehouse inventory, large order volume and delayed processing, unreasonable scheduling of warehouse staff, more idle time for warehouse staff and large difference in human efficiency per hour, etc. The key elements of these problems are the work efficiency of employees. Therefore, warehouse management needs to carry out fine scheduling of warehouse staff to improve the completion rate of orders and reduce the waste of labor costs. Keywords: Warehouse staff scheduling problem, integer programming, linear regression model, people-oriented

Design of a Reconfigurable Information Collection and Identification System for Packages Storage and Checkout

With the continuous and rapid development of e-commerce, the requirements of logistics informatization are also increasing. At present, the barcode collection and identification device used in the operation of packages storage and checkout is generally based on ASIC chip, which is not fast enough. Therefore, this paper proposes a reconfigurable information acquisition and identification system, which is applied to the operation of package storage and delivery. This system uses FPGA + ARM architecture to realize the functions of identifying, storing and uploading the barcode information on the outer surface of the package to the host computer through UDP protocol. Because the parallel operation structure of FPGA is used to design the barcode image processing accelerator circuit, the data processing capacity of the soft core processor is reduced, and the recognition speed of the system is improved as a whole. The test shows that this system is faster and more accurate than the package barcode information recognition device based on ASIC technology.

A corner-clustering method for detection of slab management numbers sprayed on steel slabs

To achieve manufacturing and logistics informatization management for steelworks, it is of crucial importance to automatically recognize the slab management numbers (SMNs) sprayed on the steel slabs. However, due to the poor quality of spraying and various interferences, SMN detection is a major challenge for subsequent recognition in the steel-slab product line. This paper proposes a corner-clustering method, which can extract the SMN from a changeable background precisely and promptly. In our method, the FAST algorithm is modified to extract the image corners by adaptively adjusting the local threshold of corner detecting with the change of image contrast. Then, the DBSCAN algorithm is implemented to group the corners into several clusters, which includes the SMN regions and interference regions. Finally, a classifier based on HOG features and SVM is applied to discriminate SMN and non-SMN regions. For experimental validation, the proposed method was implemented to a substantial amount of acquired images. A good performance has been achieved as the detection accuracy can reach as high as 98.96% for SMN on the steel slabs.

Using a Novel Method to Evaluate the Performance of Human Resources in Green Logistics Enterprises

AbstractThe essence of low-carbon logistics is to make logistics capacity grow moderately to meet the requirements of social and economic developments and the goals of energy conservation and carbon reduction through logistics planning and policies, logistics rationalization and standardization, logistics informationization, low-carbon logistics technologies, etc. This study evaluates the performances of human resources in low-carbon logistics enterprises from three assessment facets: work ability, work performance, and work attitude. It adopts the AHP method to reasonably determine an indicator system of performance evaluation and its weight to avoid certain human-caused bias. According to the results herein, the low-carbon work attitude of the case company in recent years has produced good performance, but its low-carbon work performance and low-carbon work ability are both poor. The case company should practically implement and strengthen these indicators so as to enhance human resource performance in low-carbon logistics enterprises. This study establishes a human resources performance evaluation system for low-carbon logistics enterprises to measure the low-carbon working ability, work performance, and working attitude of their general staff. In this way, enterprises may understand their development status, improve development plans, and formulate the best human resources management and development decisions, thus positively guiding their future development.
