Journal of Transport Geography, 2015, 15(2): 30-34.原文The Research of Regional Logistics CompetitivenessMahpula AAbstractAt present, the development of logistics is the logistics demand rapid increase, the expanding market capacity, accelerates the construction of logistics infrastructure, third-party logistics fast growth the tendency, the whole logistics industry is developing in the direction of the information, globalization and specialization. At the same time, with the rapid increase of logistics demand, the development of the regional logistics more rapidly. Regional logistics is an important part of regional economy, the existence and development of regional logistics is the premise of existence and development of regional economy, no regional economy there would be no regional logistics. Regional logistics and regional economic development level, is closely related to the scale and the level of the different regional economic shape, size and industry, determines the level of regional logistics, the scale and structure form. Regional economic integration can make the area and regional logistics incline to reasonable, adapt to reasonable layout of industrial structure, to reduce logistics cost, promote the development of regional logistics. On the other hand, the regional economic development is inseparable from the development of regional logistics and regional logistics to provide support and guarantee for the development of regional economy, the development of the regional logistics will drive and promote the further development of regional economy. Therefore, the development of the regional logistics has become to improve the regional investment environment and industry development environment, expanding the scope of the regional influence, the key to enhancing regional competitiveness.Keywords : Regional logistics; Regional logistics competitiveness; Evaluation index 1 Introduction 物流外文文献及翻译范文【最新资料,WORD 文档,可编辑修改】The rapid development of world economy and the progress of modern science and technology, the logistics industry as an emerging service industry, is developing rapidly in the global scope. Internationally, logistics industry is considered to be the economic development of the artery and basic industry, its development degree become to measure a country's modernization degree and comprehensive national strength, one of the important marks is known as the "third profit source" of the enterprise, its role is more and more big, became the current after the IT industry, financial industry's hottest emerging industry a new growth point of national economy, and caused widespread social attention. Regional logistics is an important component of regional economy, is the important force in the formation and development of regional economy, it is to improve the efficiency and economic benefit in the field of regional circulation, improve the competitive ability of regional market, etc., plays a positive role in active. Behind the rapid development of modern logistics, however, there are still many problems; including logistics competitiveness level is lower than the level of logistics development is particularly prominent. Choosing logistics competitiveness development level evaluation index, since there is no uniform standard, can only use freight or freight turnover scale to measure logistics. Implementation of goods transport is the process of logistics spatial displacement at the center of the link, with the two indicators to measure logistics scale has certain scientific, but it can't reflect the outline of the regional logistics. Estimates of logistics demand, typically based on GDP and total retail sales of social consumer goods such as index of national economic accounting. This is just a simple measure of the macro level, the proportion of different researchers use different, ranging from teens to twenty percent, there are large difference between the results and gives theoretical analysis greater difficulties. At the same time, the logistics industry's economic statistical data shortage, there is no comprehensive logistics demand statistics, which made us qualitative understanding of the level of understanding of logistics.2 Literature reviewAbout the Core Competence theory, Core Competence (Core Competence) of the original intention is the Core skills or Core skills, this concept is in 1990 by the American strategic management experts made (C.K.P rahalad) and Britain's strategic management experts hamer (c. amel), refers to the enterprise organization of accumulating knowledge, especially about how to coordinate different production skills and integrate a variety of technical knowledge, and on the basis of advantage over other competitors unique ability, namely Core Competence is built on the basis of enterprise Core resources, is the enterpriseintelligence, technology, products, management, culture and other elements in the reflection of comprehensive advantage in the market. At present there are three typical academic argument: the ability theory represented by Rossby and Christie's school; School represented by porter's theory of market structure; Represented by Werner Phil and Penrose's theory of resource school. Core competitiveness is value, the ability to integrated, uniqueness, extensibility and inherent characteristics.Related theory, the study of regional logistics, the logistics research of Europe and the United States, Japan and other developed countries, focus on the enterprise level, is committed to providing enterprise optimization strategy. And regional logistics system and competitiveness research, involved. According to literature review, the regional international logistics field of research mainly includes the following aspects: (1) from the perspective of multinational company research the global logistics resources configuration and coordination problems. Specific include logistics infrastructure, market competition mechanism and the problem of logistics supply chain operation. Such research quantification technology such as using the operational research tools, more for the global network of supply chain facility location positioning, and coordinate the factory more support, strategic distribution system design problem. This is an extension of the logistics enterprise level optimization study, the commonly used methods include mathematical analytical method, system simulation method and heuristic methods, etc. If only one method and graphical method solving the problem of the layout of the site; Mixed integer programming solve the problem of site selection of logistics center and logistics planning, etc.(2) from the perspective of urban economy and the environment, the research of urban traffic network Settings. For example Tanjguchietal from the city level, using a dynamic traffic simulation model, quantitative research economic growth, the transport demand, as well as the related road congestion and environmental pollution.(3) from the point of view of the city government, study its role in macro logistics development and utility. For example MeirJ. R and Senblatt, studied the global supply chain management in infrastructure financing, transportation and regional trading rules, corporate tax law of the government subsidies, and other effects of the main factors of global production and distribution network, etc.3 Introduction to the theory of regional logistics related3.1 The definition of regional logisticsAcademic definition of regional logistics has not yet unified, a more accepted view is that regional logistics is the geographical environment in a certain area, with large andmedium-sized cities as the center, based on the regional scale and scope economy, combined with effective logistics service scope, area inside and outside of all kinds of goods from the supplier to accept to effective entity flow; Is the transport, storage, loading and unloading, handling, distribution, packaging, circulation processing, information processing, such as integrated logistics activities, to service in the composite system of regional economic development. It requires the integration, the integration of logistics management, namely to meet user needs for the purpose, to the goods, services and related information from the supplier to accept to the efficient flow of planning, execution, and control activities, is the organic unity of cash-flow, information flow and cash flow.3.2 Relationship of regional logistics subject, object and carrierRegional logistics has the characteristics of multi-level and multi-dimensional structure, its basic elements include logistics main body, object and logistics carrier, and the structure of the basic elements and their complete system, each element show different features, thus forming the function of the regional logistics. Regional logistics main body is directly involved in or specialized is engaged in the economic organization of regional logistics activity, including the owner of the goodsFlow, the third party logistics enterprise, storage and transportation enterprise, etc. Logistics is the supply chain logistics channels, the starting point and end point of connection in the whole course of the regional logistics activity plays a dominant and decisive role. Elements of the integrated logistics subject is the essential characteristic of modern logistics. Therefore, the elements of logistics as one of the main body, logistics has a decisive role in the development of logistics industry. Similar accumulation and regional economy industry, regional logistics also emphasizes the logistics main body accumulation, logistics main body in space is beneficial to promote the logistics activities of large-scale, intensive, body development, it is also a regional logistics park, logistics center, the objective basis of the formation of distribution centers, and regional logistics park, logistics center and distribution center determines the spatial structure of the regional logistics system.3.3 Regional logistics and regional economic relationsRegional logistics is an important part of regional economy, the existence and development of regional logistics is the premise of existence and development of regional economy, no regional economy there would be no regional logistics. Regional logistics and regional economic development level, is closely related to the scale and the level of the different regional economic shape, size and industry, determines the level of regional logistics, thescale and structure form. Logistics is always accompanied by business flow, the more advanced the regional economy, manufacturing and trading more active, the logistics industry as a service industry will have a good customer base and market infrastructure, the greater the chance of large-scale development. On the other hand, the regional economic development is inseparable from the development of regional logistics and regional logistics to provide support and guarantee for the development of regional economy, the development of the regional logistics will drive and promote the further development of regional economy. Thus, regional logistics and regional economy is the unity of interdependence. Regional economy is the premise and foundation of regional logistics development, is the dominant force in the regional logistics development; Regional logistics is an important part of regional economy, is the regional economic support system, and serve the regional economy. Regional logistics development goal and strategy must obey and serve the regional economic development goals and strategies.4 Regional logistics competitivenessRegional logistics competitiveness refers to a certain space range (general administrative area as the border, across regions), the logistics industry are different from other areas of the assignment of resources was made in the advantage, the logistics enterprises, government policy support and industrial innovation ability, eventually embodied through regional internal benign competition will be more than all kinds of resources, the ability to effectively integrate to form a complementary and integrated ability system, reflect the regional comparison of competitive power in the logistics activity, reflect the size of the regional logistics service ability and the logistics industry development level of high and low. The competitiveness of the regional logistics is mainly composed of six basic elements constitute: social and economic development level, scale of logistics demand and supply condition of logistics, the logistics development of logistics industry in the enterprise information development level, development level, the macro environment.4.1 The social and economic development levelComprehensive social and economic development level reflects the regional logistics competitiveness level of social economic basis, is the guarantee of development of regional logistics competitiveness, to provide support for the sustainable development of regional logistics, from the other side also reflects the competitiveness of regional logistics development potential and power.4.2 The logistics demand scaleLogistics demand scale is mainly refers to the logistics services in the field such as production, consumption and circulation quantity and scale, to some extent, restricted by local resource conditions, it reflects a region, the demand for logistics service level and size: the size of the logistics demand, determines the size of the logistics market capacity, is the premise of existence and development of regional logistics industry and the foundation.4.3 Logistics supply conditionThe supply condition of logistics refers to the logistics infrastructure provided for the development of the logistics industry, all kinds of logistics technology and equipment, is engaged in the logistics services enterprises and the corresponding professionals such as the number and size of traffic capacity and regional situation, the comprehensive reflection of regional logistics supply capacity and service level, reflects the effect on the development of the logistics industry to promote and satisfaction, is the main factor of the formation and development of regional logistics competition.4.4 Logistics enterprise development levelLogistics enterprise comprehensive development level reflects the regional logistics main body's ability to provide logistics services and meet customer demand, embodies the subject of logistics operation level, mainly including the enterprise competition ability, profit ability and performance level, reflect a certain period of logistics enterprises in the area of the overall level of development, is the key factor for the formation of regional logistics competitiveness.4.5 Information development levelMainly refers to the regional information development level of information degree and the level of information technology. Logistics is based on information flow, logistics has become more and more rely on the whole process of access to information. Many logistics enterprises have established their own information management system as a crucial to the development of its core competitiveness, the development level of information is the one important factor for the formation of regional logistics competitiveness level.4.6 Logistics macro environmentMacro environment refers to the logistics industry development of logistics industry development planning, land use policy, tax policy, market access policy, talent training, such as the soft environment, affecting the development of logistics industry reflects the external environment for the development of the logistics industry to provide favorable conditions and the environment support.译文区域物流竞争力研究作者 Mahpula A摘要当前,物流的发展正呈现出物流需求快速上升、市场容量不断扩大、物流基础设施建设加速、第三方物流快速成长的趋势,整个物流产业正朝着信息化、全球化和专业化的方向发展。
外文文献原稿和译文原稿Logistics from the English word "logistics", the original intent of the military logistics support, in the second side after World War II has been widely used in the economic field. Logistics Management Association of the United States is defined as the logistics, "Logistics is to meet the needs of consumers of raw materials, intermediate products, final products and related information to the consumer from the beginning to the effective flow and storage, implementation and control of the process of . "Logistics consists of four key components: the real flow, real storage, and management to coordinate the flow of information. The primary function of logistics is to create time and space effectiveness of the effectiveness of the main ways to overcome the space through the storage distance.Third-party logistics in the logistics channel services provided by brokers, middlemen in the form of the contract within a certain period of time required to provide logistics services in whole or in part. Is a third-party logistics companies for the external customer management, control and operation of the provision of logistics services company.According to statistics, currently used in Europe the proportion of third-party logistics services for 76 percent, the United States is about 58%, and the demand is still growing; 24 percent in Europe and the United States 33% of non-third-party logistics service users are actively considering the use of third-party logistics services. As a third-party logistics to improve the speed of material flow, warehousing costs and financial savings in the cost effective means of passers-by, has become increasingly attracted great attention.First, the advantages of using a third-party logisticsThe use of third-party logistics enterprises can yield many benefits, mainly reflected in:1, focus on core businessManufacturers can use a third-party logistics companies to achieve optimal distribution of resources, limited human and financial resources to concentrate on their core energy, to focus on the development of basic skills, develop new products in the world competition, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.2, cost-savingProfessional use of third-party logistics providers, the professional advantages of mass production and cost advantages, by providing the link capacity utilization to achieve cost savings, so that enterprises can benefit from the separation of the cost structure. Manufacturing enterprises with the expansion of marketing services to participate in any degree of depth, would give rise to a substantial increase in costs, only the use of professional services provided by public services, in order to minimize additional losses. University of Tennessee in accordance with the United States, United Kingdom and the United States EXEL company EMST & YOUNG consulting firm co-organized a survey: a lot of cargo that enable them to use third-party logistics logistics costs declined by an average of 1.18 percent, the average flow of goods from 7.1 days to 3.9 days, stock 8.2% lower.3, reduction of inventoryThird-party logistics service providers with well-planned logistics and timely delivery means, to minimize inventory, improve cash flow of the enterprise to achieve cost advantages.4, enhance the corporate imageThird-party logistics service providers and customers is a strategic partnership, the use of third-party logistics provider of comprehensive facilities and trained staff on the whole supply chain to achieve completecontrol, reducing the complexity of logistics, through their own networks to help improve customer service, not only to establish their own brand image, but also customers in the competition.Second, The purpose of the implementation of logistics managementThe purpose of the implementation of logistics management is to the lowest possible total cost of conditions to achieve the established level of customer service, or service advantages and seek cost advantages of a dynamic equilibrium, and thus create competitive enterprises in the strategic advantage. According to this goal, logistics management to solve the basic problem, simply put, is to the right products to fit the number and the right price at the right time and suitable sites available to customers.Logistics management systems that use methods to solve the problem. Modern Logistics normally be considered by the transport, storage, packaging, handling, processing in circulation, distribution and information constitute part of all. All have their own part of the original functions, interests and concepts. System approach is the use of modern management methods and modern technology so that all aspects of information sharing in general, all the links as an integrated system for organization and management, so that the system can be as low as possible under the conditions of the total cost, provided there Competitive advantage of customer service. Systems approach that the system is not the effectiveness of their various local links-effective simple sum. System means that, there's a certain aspects of the problem and want to all of the factors affecting the analysis and evaluation. From this idea of the logistics system is not simply the pursuit of their own in various areas of the lowest cost, because the logistics of the link between the benefits of mutual influence, the tendency of mutual constraints, there is the turn of the relationship between vulnerability. For example, too much emphasis on packaging materials savings, it could cause damage because of their easy to transport and handling costs increased. Therefore, the systemsapproach stresses the need to carry out the total cost analysis, and to avoid the second best effect and weigh the cost of the analysis, so as to achieve the lowest cost, while meeting the established level of customer se rvice purposes.Third, China's enterprises in the use of third-party logistics problems inWhile third-party logistics company has many advantages, but not many enterprises will be more outsourcing of the logistics business, the reasons boil down to:1, resistance to changeMany companies do not want the way through the logistics outsourcing efforts to change the current mode. In particular, some state-owned enterprises, we reflow will also mean that the dismissal of outsourcing a large number of employees, which the managers of state-owned enterprises would mean a very great risk.2, lack of awarenessFor third-party logistics enterprise's generally low level of awareness, lack of awareness of enterprise supply chain management in the enterprise of the great role in the competition.3, fear of losing controlAs a result of the implementation of supply chain companies in enhancing the competitiveness of the important role that many companies would rather have a small but complete logistics department and they do not prefer these functions will be handed over to others, the main reasons it is worried that if they lose the internal logistics capabilities, customers will be exchanges and over-reliance on other third-party logistics companies.4, the logistics outsourcing has its own complexitySupply chain logistics business and companies are usually other services, such as finance, marketing or production of integrated logistics outsourcing itself with complexity. On a number of practical business, including theintegration of transport and storage may lead to organizational, administrative and implementation problems. In addition, the company's internal information system integration features, making the logistics business to a third party logistics companies have become very difficult to operate.5, to measure the effect of logistics outsourcing by many factors Accurately measure the cost of information technology, logistics and human resources more difficult. It is difficult to determine the logistics outsourcing companies in the end be able to bring the cost of how many potential good things. In addition, all the uniqueness of the company's business and corporate supply chain operational capability, is usually not considered to be internal to the external public information, it is difficult to accurately compare the inter-company supply chain operational capability.Although some manufacturers have been aware of the use of third-party logistics companies can bring a lot of good things, but in practical applications are often divided into several steps, at the same time choose a number of logistics service providers as partners in order to avoid the business by a logistics service providers brought about by dependence. Fourth, China's third-party logistics companies in the development of the problems encounteredA successful logistics company, the operator must have a larger scale, the establishment of effective regional coverage area, with a strong command and control center with the high standard of integrated technical, financial resources and business strategy.China's third-party logistics companies in the development of the problems encountered can be summarized as follows:1, operating modelAt present, most of the world's largest logistics companies take the head office and branch system, centralized headquarters-style logistics operation to take to the implementation of vertical business management. Theestablishment of a modern logistics enterprise must have a strong, flexible command and control center to control the entire logistics operations and coordination. Real must be a modern logistics center, a profit center, business organizations, the framework, the institutional form of every match with a center. China's logistics enterprises in the operating mode of the problems of foreign logistics enterprises in the management model should be from the domestic logistics enterprises.2, the lack of storage or transport capacityThe primary function of logistics is to create time and space utility theft. For now China's third-party logistics enterprises, some companies focus on storage, lack of transport capacity; other companies is a lot of transport vehicles and warehouses throughout the country little by renting warehouses to complete the community's commitment to customers. 3, network problemsThere are a few large companies have the logistics of the entire vehicle cargo storage network or networks, but the network coverage area is not perfect. Customers in the choice of logistics partner, are very concerned about network coverage and network of regional branches of the density problem. The building of the network should be of great importance to logistics enterprises.4, information technologyThe world's largest logistics enterprises have "three-class network", that is, orders for information flow, resources, global supply chain network, the global Resource Network users and computer information network. With the management of advanced computer technology, these customers are also the logistics of the production of high value-added products business, the domestic logistics enterprises must increase investment in information systems can change their market position.Concentration and integration is the third-party logistics trends in the development of enterprises. The reasons are: firstly, the company intends tomajor aspects of supply chain outsourcing to the lowest possible number of several logistics companies; the second, the establishment of an efficient global third party logistics inputs required for increasing the capital; the third Many third-party logistics providers through mergers and joint approaches to expand its service capabilities.译文物流已广泛应用于经济领域中的英文单词“物流”,军事后勤保障的原意,在二战结束后的第二面。
世界港口中英文对照English:The world's ports play a vital role in global trade and transportation, serving as the gateways for the movement of goods and commodities between countries. They facilitate the import and export of a wide range of products, including raw materials, manufactured goods, and consumer goods. Some of the major ports around the world include the Port of Shanghai in China, which is the world's busiest port in terms of container throughput, handling millions of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) each year. The Port of Singapore is another major player, serving as a key transshipment hub and connecting various regions across the globe. In Europe, the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is not only the largest port in the continent but also Europe's most important logistics hub. It handles various types of cargo, including containers, liquid bulk, dry bulk, and breakbulk. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Port of Los Angeles in the United States is the nation's busiest port and a crucial gateway for trade with Asia. It handles a significant amount of transpacific trade, particularly with China and other Asian economies.Additionally, the Port of Hamburg in Germany, the Port of Busan in South Korea, and the Port of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates are among the world's noteworthy ports due to their strategic locations and efficient operations. These ports serve as critical nodes in global supply chains, facilitating trade and contributing to economic growth worldwide.中文翻译:世界港口在全球贸易和交通中扮演着重要的角色,是国家间货物和商品流动的门户。

1、 INTRODUCTIONLogistics is normally considered as nothing more than getting the right product to theright place at the right time for the least cost、 Faced with a rapidly changing environment, revolutionary changes in technology, continued government deregulation, the shortening of product life cycle, proliferation of product lines and shifts in traditional manufacturer-retailer relationships, many organisations have had to rethink their traditional assumptions、Over the last ten years one of the most significant changes in management thinking wasthe emphasis on the search for strategies that will provide superior value in competition、Logistics management has the potential to assist the organisation in the achievement of botha cost/productivity advantage and a value advantage、 The importance of logistics and its integration in the supply chain was argued by、China is a huge consumer market that accounted for a third of global economic growthover the past three years、 Its development speed and potential cannot be ignored by the restof the world、 As a result of China’s internal and external economic attributes, most of the、 In particular in the automobileglobal consumer brands have established operations thereindustry, many of the leading global OEMs including Honda, Toyota, General Motors, Volkswagen and Ford have established joint-venture partnerships with local car manufacturers、 Auto sales in China rose by 76% in the year to July 2003 and by 2011,、 InChina is expected to surpass Japan to become the wor ld’s second largest auto marketorder to compete in the Chinese market share and satisfy increasing demand, these operations are continuously expanding their production volumes with astonishing speed、Such expansion is, however carried out in the context of a legacy environment、China spans a large geographical area with, in many parts, under-developed infrastructure、 This presents a challenge to efficient deployment of logistics strategies、Furthermore, the involvement of third party logistics providers, favoured by most globalOEMs, is an emergent consideration in China、 Finally, the conflicts that inevitably arise inthe joint venture partnerships lead to delays in the introduction of western logistics management e xperiences and methods from the OEMs、All these factors increase the、difficulties in managing logistics by China’s local auto makers2、 The overall development of foreign distribution Overview2、1 The United States of modern logistics developmentTwenty-first century from the 60s on wards, the rationalization of distribution of goodsin general are valued in the United States to take the following measures: First, the warehouse will replace the old distribution center: The second is the management of the introduction of computer networks, on the loading and unloading, handling, custody, standardized operation, improve operating efficiency; Third, the common chain distribution centers set up to promote the growth of chain-effective、 United States chain stores have a variety of distribution centers, mainly in the wholesale-based, r etail and warehouse-type three types、2、2 Japan's modern logistics developmentOn logistics and distribution of wood with the following features: well-developed distribution channels, frequent, low-volume stock, logistics and distribution reflects the common and set the trend sticks, logistics and distribution cooperative, the Government planning in the development of modern logistics and distribution play an important role inthe process of 、2、3 European modern development of logisticsCountries in Europe, especially Germany, logistics refers to the user's orders in accordance with the requirements of positions in the logistics sub-goods distribution, the goods will be sent to the consignee with good activities、Germany's logistics industry formed of basic commodities from origin to distribution center, from the distribution center (and sometimes through more than one distribution center) arrive at the modern mode of end customers、 Traveled in Germany, it can be said of the logistics and distribution in Germany has been formed to final demand-oriented to the modernization of transport and high-techinformation network as a bridge to a reasonable R69 distribution center hub to run a complete system、2、4 the main reasons of logistics industry developing faster in developed countriesRelying on high-tech to the core economies of scale to allow flexibility based on a variety of forms、3、China's 3PL enterprises are facing a major obstacle to business3、1 The current situation of China's 3PLChina's 3PL enterprises: service radius of a small, low entry barriers、 With the gradual warming heat logistics, urban logistics industry is also increasingly unitary covered by the importance and development、However, due to historical reasons in our country, the long-standing emphasis on production of a light flow, heavy flow to light the idea of the logistics, distribution of development in the not yet ripe at this stage, there is the issue more prominent in the following two aspects: the service delivery difficult to play a central role,the process of distribution of the low level of modernization、China's 3PL companies with foreign 3PL companies mainly in the gap between the three aspects: First, procurement capacity, and the other is logistics, and the third is cash flow、Aspects of logistics and distribution, foreign retailers have done very well, has a set of efficient logistics information system, which can effectively improve the inventory turnover rate, so as to enhance the return on assets and profitability、 And domestic retailers in this、area has just started, or have not yet started3、2 distribution center lower the overall distribution, commercial chain failed to give full play to the advantagesFrom our point of view the existing commercial retail enterprises, in addition to some large, well-known commercial enterprises, the general commercial "chain" businesses are not set up their own logistics and distribution centers or use third-party logistics center、Although these companies have also established some of his own "chain" stores, but in fact operating goods stores do not do "unified procurement, unified distribution, unified billing,"、 The which allows some commercial retail enterprises, "chain" seems to exist in name onlyother has been established in their own logistics and distribution centers or use third-party logistics distribution center of commodities in commercial enterprises, the effectiveness of distribution centers has not been effective, which in turn affected the procurement cost of an integrated chain advantages, including outstanding manifested by the distribution center for goods distribution ratio of unity is very low、 Uniform distribution logistics center can notbe achieved, indicating the store's commercial enterprises "unified purchase" did not、materialize, rather than a unified procurement chain has lost the core strengths3、3 China's more enterprises are facing a major obstacle of the higher logistics costWal-Mart 8 5% of the commodities distribution through the distribution center, in which 80% is through the "zero inventory" of the more complete form of the distribution database、Wal-Mart as a result of the use of the "Cross distribution" and "auto-replenishment" of supply chain technology, so that goods turnover in the Treasury down to 2 days、 And retail enterprises in China are in the 15-30 days, which reflects the retail , distribution enterprises, underdeveloped logistics system, distribution costs are too high、 Rapid expansion of retail enterprises in China's size and speed in the short term if they can not form a qualitative edge is a dangerous speculation、Over the years the practice has proved that the multi-purpose logistics distribution center, intensive, low-cost supply hub, as well as the use of information technology to reorganize and upgrade the entire flow of the supply chain management is the core of large-scale retail enterprises strategy is to support the retail giant super-conventional development、The face of large-scale retail and distribution businesses o f the main distribution center logistics requirements planning, focusing on how to reflect the integration of information flow in business flow, logistics, capital flow, so that the operation of retail enterprises to expand the logistics for the entire enterprise supply chain collaboration nodes and so that the whole positive and negative to minimize logistics cost of goods (including consumers, stores, logistics, distribution centers, headquarters, suppliers and partners), and a timely response t o sales demand and timely replenishment、This is also a large-scalecross-regional, multi-format, chain retail enterprises have the capacity of the core competitive advantage、3、4 Lack of modern logistics management knowledge and expertise of logistics personnel、This is the third-party logistics industry in restricting the development of China's most important one of the bottlenecks、Logistics knowledge, especially in modern integrated third party logistics knowledge is far from being universal, but that its main business areas is to provide transportation and warehousing services, not know that it is new to these traditional business integration of its business fields Far too simple to become connected with transport and storage of raw materials, semi-finished products supply, production process, material flow, the whole process of product distribution services, as cover flow, solid logistics, capital flow, information flow is equal to the integrated systemof systems、4 to enhance core competitiveness, the implementation of integrated management"integrated management" is the original English Integrated SupplyProcess, refers to the production enterprises, office, life of a non-core business areas of the operation and management of integration as a Overall, as a business-oriented t o manage outsourcing projects, by the special "integrated management" of the suppliers to provide full-service projects、"Integrated management" is not simply puts together the management of the business, but to improve management efficiency and reduce management costs as the core, combined with advanced information technology and network management features such as one organically integrated、Compared with the general outsourcing services, integrated management has the following characteristics:(1) It is not a business, but a complete outsourcing business from the operation of themanagement integration of outsourcing;(2) Outsourcing is not a core operation, but a comprehensive business management、Responsible for the entire business as a first-class suppliers, and its main task is to use its unique resources to conduct a comprehensive knowledge management, the operation of the specific is it managed by the secondary and tertiary suppliers to implement, so in themanagement of outsourcing functions based on the specific operation of the outsourcing; (3) In the case of the most important first-level suppliers, other than remuneration in thefixed service, its the only way to increase revenue for users to save costs as much as possible in order to share the proceeds of cost savings, rather than as general outsourcing as suppliers, mainly through an increase in turnover, that is, to increase spending to increase the user's own earnings、 "Double bottom" principle of cooperation between the two sides can make a stable and lasting、5 The third party logistics enterprise strategic choiceSummarized the latest of several foreign logistics theory and the development ofthird-party logistics with the current practice of foreign, third-party logistics firm's strategic choice to have the following three:(1)Lean Logistics StrategySince the lag theory and practice of logistics, our most extensive third-party logistics company or business, it can not accurately position their logistics services、 If you do not reverse this situation as soon as possible, will be third-party logistics industry in China have restricted role、 Lean production theory of logistics for our third-party logistics company provides a new development ideas for these enterprises to survive in the new economy and development opportunities、 Lean Logistics concept originated in lean manufacturing、 Itis produced from the Toyota Motor Corporation 70 years in the last century by the original "Toyota Production System", after research by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and summary, was published in 1990 published "change the world of machines), a book、 Lean thinking is the use of various modern management methods and means, based on the needs of society to fully play the role of people as a fundamental and effective allocation and rational use of corporate resources to maximize economic benefits for enterprises to seek a new Management philosophy、 Lean Logistics Lean Thinking is the application in

外文翻译原文Port-centric logisticsMaterial Source: Author: John Mangan and Chandra Lalwani1. Ports and supply chainsPorts and maritime transport have existed for some thousands of years and have developed in line with the evolution of International trade which has been inherent in shaping the modern world. Some 6 billion tones of freight moves by maritime transport each year and is estimated to comprise 45 percent liquid bulks,23 percent dry bulks and 32percent general cargo. Total freight movements vary according to region, commodity and freight origin/destination. According to the World Bank(2001), there are more than 2,000 ports around the world, from single berth locations handling a few hundred tones a year to some of the world’s largest p orts such as Shanghai, Singapore and Rotterdam, which individually handle multiples of this (in the case of Shanghai, for example, the 2005 estimate is 443 million metric tones American Association of Port Authorities, 2005).Ports and maritime transport thus play an important role today in global commerce. It is important to first define exactly what is meant by the term “port”. According to Stopford (1997), a port is “a geographical area where ships are brought alongside land to load and discharge cargo –usually a sheltered deep water area such as a bay of river mouth”. Often ports comprise multiple terminals, a terminal being “a section of the port consisting of one or more berths devoted to a particular type of cargo handling”. Ports handle various diff erent categories of freight. Maritime freight is typically classified as: liquid bulk (the most significant sub-category here is oil), dry bulk(such as coal and some agricultural products), unitised freight (which comprises both lift-on/lift-off containers, i.e. Lo-Lo and roll-on/roll-off units, i.e. Ro-Ro), and other general freight. Some ports handle all categories of freight, while others focus on particular categories; different types of handling equipment at ports are usually required for these different categories of freight.Robinson suggests that: the role of ports and the way in which ports position themselves must be defined within a paradigm of ports as elements in value-driven chain systems, not simply as places with particular, if complex, functions. Reflectingwider logistics and supply chain management issues, there has also been recognition within the literature concerning the evolution of the demand for maritime transport. Panayides (2006) for example notes that: the demand for maritime transport nowadays cannot be solely considered to be a derived demand emanating from the need for products, but rather as an integrated demand emanating from the need to minimise costs, improve reliability, add value, and a series of other dimensions and characteristics pertaining to the transportation of goods from the point of production to the point of consumption.2. Trends in maritime freight transport and shippingThe increased emphasis on the role and efficiency of ports needs to be viewed in the context of the considerable growth that has occurred in recent years in world trade in general and in maritime transport in particular. Today, many of the world’s economies are becoming increasingly interrelated as a result of increasing trade and the growing trend towards globalisation of production. Over the past half-century, most countries have seen an increase in exports as a share of GDP, with the vast bulk of these exports transported by sea. A number of trends affecting the maritime sector have been central to efficiency and productivity gains. These include better, faster and larger vessels, and improvements in cargo handling at ports.3. Trends in the ports sector3.1 Port development and ownershipTraditionally, most ports acted as simple transshipment hubs where freight passed between ships and landside transport. This was typically a very labour intensive activity, but technological developments (such as increased use of containers and more sophisticated cranes) together with reform of dock labour schemes led to significantly decreased employment at many ports. This was further exacerbated by the fact that for reasons of geography, some ports are located in peripheral locations (to allow short sea crossings) where alternative employment is scarce. With changes in ship type, and the nature of freight being transported new facilities were developed either at alternative locations within ports, or in some instances on green field sites, with the result that many original port areas fell into disrepair. Some port areas however, leveraging their waterfront location, have benefited from significant developments in areas such as residential property and, with the growth of the leisure sector, marina development.Privatised ports are often of much interest to investors. In the UK, for example, PD Ports (which operates Tees port and has interests in a number of other UK portsplus related logistics activities) was acquired by the Australian investment company Babcock and Brown Infrastructure Ltd in late-2005. Meanwhile, the main private UK port operator, Associated British Ports (ABP), delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2006 following the completion of the takeover of the company by Admiral Acquisitions UK Ltd. The next section discusses the endeavours by GPOs to extend their global footprint by acquiring overseas port facilities. Increasingly, privatized ports are owned by investors outside of the country where the port(s) are located, and some commentators express worries about a lack of national control over such important assets as ports in any country’s infrastructure (for example, the recent take over of P&O by Dubai Ports World (DPW) as discussed below).3.2 Global port operators (GPOs)Globalisation of shipping and trade is resulting in increasing pressure on ports to reduce container terminal costs and improve operational efficiency. Mega shippers of freight are generally seeking single supplier contracts looking for carriers that can provide efficient and cost effective services. In turn, the carriers are seeking cost reductions and efficiency gains at the ports they utilise, with single sourcing across ports in terms of port terminal operations becoming more common. In response to this and to the need for integration in international supply chains a num ber of GPOs have emerged who manage an increasing number of the world’s ports. This has been helped by port deregulation and changes in ownership in many countries.3.3 Interport competitionNotteboomand Winkelmans (2001) noted that inter-port competition has intensified, even among more distant ports, and point out that for example the competition between European ports situated in different port ranges has increased considerably in recent years. Such inter-port competition challenges the traditional assumption where each country has to have its own port(s). Delays in new container port development in Britain for example have led some commentators to note that Britain could “find itself in danger of becoming little more than an appendage to the major North European continental ports” (Asteris and Collins, 2007) (the implication being that Britain’s international traffic would transit to and from deep sea routes via ports such as Rotterdam and Antwerp). Of course, it should be added that ports can cooperate as well as compete!3.4 Ports and economic growthIncreasingly, ports are recognised as key components in determining the overallcompetitiveness of national economies. Cullinane and Song (2002) point out that ports constitute a critical link in the supply chain and that their level of efficiency and performance influences, to a large extent, a country’s competitiveness. Similarly, Sanchezet al. (2003) in the context of a number of Latin American countries, showed that port efficiency is a relevant determin ant of a country’s competitiveness and interestingly they add that, unlike most other relevant variables, port efficiency can be influenced by public policies. Bryan et al. (2006) provide a comprehensive review of the literature generally on South Wales, they quantify the economic significance of that set of ports activities on the region. These issues then have generated the drive today to improve port efficiency, lower cargo handling costs and integrate port services with other components of the global distribution network.4. Port-centric logistics and supply chain strategiesIt is now generally accepted that supply chains, and not individual firms or products, are the basis of much marketplace competition (Christopher, 1992). Transport services (links in supply chains) and transport infrastructure (nodes in supply chains) are key elements in efficient logistics systems. Maritime transport (comprising ports as nodes and shipping services as links) is the dominant mode for international freight movements and is thus crucial to international trade and a vital component of many supply chains. When difficulties arise in the maritime chain, the results can be quite dramatic, as was the case for example in the second-half of 2004 when congestion at the port of Long Beach in the USA, which had its origins in labour disputes, led to ships remaining idle and anchored at sea for up to four days with a considerable knock-on effect on consignors and consignees (Marshall, 2005).Another concept, “port-centric logistics”,has recently been promoted in the maritime logistics sector (Falkner, 2006; Wall, 2007; Analytiqa, 2007); we define port-centric logistics as the provision of distribution and other value-adding logistics services at a port. Ports are increasingly recognising that higher profit margins can be made on some non core port activities and this is driving them to engage in activities beyond simply providing berths for ships and other core port services: The port is just one node in any particular supply chain and how goods flow through that node will depend in part upon the strategy adopted by that supply chain. This of course, is to presuppose that all supply chains work to a particular strategy. It could however be argued that with regard to supply chain strategy sometimes theory is ahead of practice! Godsell et al. (2006), for example, noted that while theory suggested that supply chains should be demand-led, it has proven difficult to findempirical data in support of such an approach. Furthermore, they suggest that the functional nature of many organisations (in our view this could also include ports) at an operational level acts as a barrier to aligning supply chains effectively with the markets they serve thus obviating against a customer responsive supply chain strategy being pursued.5. ConclusionWhile this paper reviewed the roles played by ports in logistics and supply chain management generally, and developed both the concept of port-centric logistics and our understanding of the role(s) of ports within supply chains, a useful next step would be to further investigate and quantify port-centric logistics activities. We believe there is significant potential for ports to engage in more port-centric logistics activities, a potential which is in our view still quite latent in the case of many ports. The movement of such freight through a port represents the use of the port just as one node in a supply chain. An effort should then be made to identify where value-adding logistics activities take place along these supply chains, both before and after the freight passes through the port (and, if appropriate, at the port). This may reveal a potential for more port-centric logistics activities at ports.译文Port-centric logistics资料来源: 宁波数字图书馆作者:John Mangan and Chandra Lalwani 1.港口和供应链港口和海上运输已经存在数千年之久了,并随着国际贸易的演变也已成为现在世界所固有的一种方式。
中英文对照外文翻译(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)原文:The optimization of container berths and shore bridge coordination scheduling AbstractThe global economic development, the container quickly raised up into exports. Rapid growth of the import and export cargo throughput brings to the container terminal larger benefits at the same time increase the burden of the port, have higher requirements on the terminal operation efficiency. How is the existing equipment of container terminals, reasonable resource allocation and scheduling, is common problem facing the container terminal. Therefore, how to improve the terminal facilities such as the maximum utilization of resources, to meet the increasing port demand, improve their competitive advantage, and has more practical meaning to improve the working efficiency of the container terminal. The main content of this study is berth, gantry cranes and set card co-allocation research, has plans to all ship to the port assignments during mathematical model is established with the target ofminimum cost, according to the characteristics of the scale model by genetic algorithm, finally validates the effectiveness of the model.Keywords: System engineering; Water transportation; Gantry cranes allocation; Dynamic scheduling;1 IntroductionContainer terminal logistics is an organic system, made of interactive and dy namic components, such as containers, ships, berths, yards, tracks, quay cranes and yard cranes trucks, labors and communications, in a limited terminal space. It is a complex discrete event dynamic system related to kinds of complicated problems in l ogistics transport field.Berth scheduling (berth allocation) refers to the vessel arrival before or after according to each berth free condition and physical condition of the constraint for ship berthing berth and berthing order. To port berth scheduling optimization research has made important progress, but research is only limited to the single scheduling berth and shore bridge. Of berth scheduling problem in recent years has been based on simple berth scheduling considering more factors, but only for gantry cranes operating sequence when performing a specific loading and unloading of microscopic optimization. Container ships in the port of time depend on how well the berth scheduling on one hand, on the other hand depends on the completion of tasks of gantry cranes loading and unloading time. Gantry cranes loading and unloading time tasks assigned by the Shore Bridge and gantry cranes scheduling two link form. Gantry cranes allocation is reasonably allocated to the ship to shore bridge. Scheduling is a bridge across the river shore bridge between loading and unloading task scheduling. For container terminal how to out of berth allocation, and collaborative scheduling shore bridge set card effective allocation and the arrangement of the container yard, etc are the main factors influencing the efficiency of port operations.2 Literature reviewBerth, gantry cranes and set card configuration and operation quality directly determines the operational efficiency of container ports. Container port whether canmeet customer demand depends on whether the scheduling of a better, affecting the competitiveness of the port. So how to coordinate the three configurations and scheduling caused the wide attention of scholars both at home and abroad. Most experts and scholars in different circumstances port hardware facilities according to the different methods of berth, gantry cranes, set card and etc were studied. In recent years, the berth, shore and set scheduling and allocation problem of study to become a hot topic, scholars in a wide range of further research.2.1 Research on berth allocation problemEdmond will berth allocation problem as queuing theory for the first time, and establish the mathematical model research berth allocation problem. Lai and Shih to adopt rules first come first service berth allocation problem, and design the corresponding heuristic algorithm for the optimization of the mathematical model of the berth allocation, and to obtain the berth allocation to wait for the mooring time, and the average berth utilization indicators for evaluation. Prove the feasibility of obtained berth allocation scheme. Kiin mixed integer programming model is established to study the for large container ship berth allocation problem to determine the ship docked location and time, the design of simulated annealing algorithm to solve the model. Since then, many scholars study of berth allocation problem scheme compared with Kim. Imai respectively studied and dynamic to static to the port to port berth allocation problem, at the same time the berth allocation in the process of container ship is introduced into the berth time priority, berth allocation was studied for the ship to port. Later, Mr Imai and Sun to adopt continuous geographical space to study the method of continuous berth allocation, established the mathematical model of the minimum vessel waiting time and operation time and coefficient using LaGrange relaxation algorithm to solve. Hansen, considering the schedule and ship docked preference location problems, such as setting the berth scheduling optimization goal for waiting time while minimizing of the ship. At the same time describes what preference position of the ship is. Lee also adopt the rules of first come first service to research into the port ship berth allocation problem, design the corresponding heuristic algorithm to solve the berth allocation model. After this, Leeand ship at the port of all research cycle to overall in the shortest time continuous berth allocation problem for the target research, through random greedy adaptive search algorithm to solve the model.2.2 Research on Shore Bridge factors problemDiazole in 1989 for the first time put forward the concept of gantry cranes scheduling by the author and a mixed integer programming model was established to solve the model to determine the distribution of each ship to the shore bridge. Park and Kim first studied the static to the port of berth and gantry cranes scheduling problem. Lim under interference constraint made the gantry cranes scheduling decisions made by a branch and bound method will be a period of time the latest ship to minimize the departure time of this algorithm ability is limited but simulated annealing method feasible solution can be obtained for the same question then also has used the genetic algorithm and greedy algorithm. Mussel and had to use a more realistic shore bridge resources use function to replace the method of linear hypothesis this paper proposes a new model to improve insufficient corrected simulation in the study of land bridge in front of the interference constraint error and put forward a improved model than other algorithms are good before fast branch and bound method based on one-way operations. Bierwirth to before 2010 to berth allocation problem, task allocation problem shore bridge, gantry cranes scheduling problem of research literature made a detailed statistics and investigation and study analysis. Ship movement were studied using genetic algorithm reaches the case of fixed alongside berths and gantry cranes scheduling problem, homework and assumes that each ship shore bridge number is fixed, the optimization goal to minimize shipping time in Hong Kong. At present scholars to container terminal berth allocation, gantry cranes scheduling and allocation, set operations such as path planning are detailed studies. They mainly from the perspective of time and economic cost and so on, studies the optimization of container terminal handling operation link research, makes the anticipated goal of optimal. But can be seen from the collected literature at home and abroad, the research of the container terminal although in-depth and meticulous, but there are still insufficient. At present study mainly just to container terminal operationof a single link a job scheduling optimization, or are the two assignments link joint scheduling optimization research. However, container terminal berth allocation, shore bridge distribution and collection card is a complete operating system. If is simply the optimization study of a job link, can only reach a certain optimal operation link, it is difficult to achieve with other assignments link affinity. In the whole container operating system does not make the overall optimal.3 Container terminal operation analyses(1) ChannelChannel is refers to the container ship in the in and out of the container terminal area can satisfy container ships and other water traffic tools (tug, etc.) the requirements of the safe navigation channel.(2) AnchorageAnchorage is used for container ships waiting for berthing of ships docked or for a variety of water homework need water. Main floor including loading and unloading of anchorage, anchorage, shelter, water diversion fault, fault and quarantine and so on, this article proposed tracing refers to anchor it wrong, is to wait for container vessels into anchored into the dock before berth waters.(3) BerthBerth is to point to inside the container terminal for container vessels, loading and unloading to the docking area by the sea, for the container ship safety and to meet the need of loading and unloading operation waters and space. Have a certain length of call with berthing waters adjacent quay wall line, referred to as the shoreline. Berth coastline length meet the requirement of container ship loading and unloading and berthing safety distance, depth of berth satisfies the requirement of container ship's draft. Container port berths are mainly divided into two forms. Berth discrete and continuous berths. Discrete berth: container terminal of the coastline of the corresponding berth waters is divided into a number of different lengths of part, at the same time there can be only one ship in a garage to accept service, and any ship berthing of ships in the harbor cannot take up two berths at the same time. Continuous berth: in the container terminal to the coastline of the corresponding vessel berthingwater not to break up, to the port container ship in meet the demands of the depth and the captain of the ship to draft cases, can be arbitrary parked in container terminal coastline of the corresponding boundary waters.(4) Gantry cranesLand refers to the coast side of container loading and unloading of the bridge crane, is a special hoisting machinery container wharf apron loading and unloading of containers, container terminal is the only direct contact with berthing ships operating equipment, is one of the most important resources in container terminals and scarce resources. Gantry cranes loading and unloading efficiency and quality of high and low will directly affect the length of the container vessel in operation time, at the same time also affect other container terminal operation link configuration and scheduling. Among them, the land bridge is mainly divided into orbit type gantry cranes and tired gantry cranes. Orbit type gantry cranes, coastline of gantry cranes are all in the same orbit, land bridge between the mobile can not appear the phenomenon such as cross. Tyred Gantry cranes can move than rail type gantry cranes move large range. But at present most of the container terminal mainly Is to use rail type gantry cranes, so in this paper, we study the land bridge for track type gantry cranes.(5) Set cardSet card can achieve a container in the container yard and onshore bridge between the yard and mobile, collection card is container terminal based on the shipping container truck. Set card according to the different main purpose transportation of container terminal is divided into inside and outside sets card two types of collection card. Set inside the card, is to realize the gantry cranes loading and unloading of containers and a bridge on the stacking yard box between the means of transport. Of all the set inside of the container terminal equipment configuration, scheduling the most complex number of mobile devices. Outside the set of CARDS, sonograms are directly from the port to the shore bridge shipment, or from the shore bridge directly discharging to the container truck outside of a container terminal. (6) YardImport and export container yard is the function of container terminal is used tostore the site area, close distance tend to berth. Container terminal will stay according to the purpose of import and export container shipping and shipping time factors such as different, in order to facilitate access to the specified container, the container yard area is divided into multiple box. Due to the container depot in box area position is different, so each box area the distance from the need to load and unload ships size is different. Packing storage location and the distance between the ship dock berths will also affect the level of set card transport time, thus affecting the entire pier loading and unloading efficiency of the system. Can be inferred from this, container storage location is the operation efficiency of container terminals also has a great influence. (7) BridgeThe role of a bridge is similar to the gantry cranes and container loading and unloading transportation tool. Just a bridge job is located in container yard. A bridge, it is within the container yard stacking, move the box and the box operation of loading and unloading equipment. Will set card transport imported within the container stack to the designated container terminal yard box area or take out the box of export containers of area specific location set card, to the specific land bridge loading operations.(8) The work facilities such as container yard behindBehind the container yard operation facilities mainly make mouth, control room, maintenance shop, container freight station and other facilities. Describes the mouth, is the container and the container cargo of containers of intersection, and container terminal, both inside and outside dividing line of responsibility. Due to the gate is the container of in and out of the harbor, in the mouth is set between the container of relevant documents, related to container number and seal number and container exterior condition for inspection operations such as link.Berth allocation problems Scope and classification schemeIn berth allocation problems, we are given a berth layout together with a set of v essels that have to be served within a planning horizon. The vessels must be moored within the boundaries of the quay and cannot occupy the same quay space at a time. I n he basic optimization problem, berthing positions and berthing times have to be assigned to all vessels, such that a given objective function is optimized. A variety of o ptimization models for berth allocation have been proposed in the literature to captur e real features of practical problems. In Bierwirth and Meisel (2010), we have propos ed a scheme for classifying such models according to four attributes, namely a spatia l attribute, a temporal attribute, a handling time attribute, and the performance measur e addressed in the optimization. The values each attribute can take are listed in Fig. 1 Spatial attributeThis attribute concerns the berth layout, which is either a discrete layout (disc), a co ntinuous layout (cont), or a hybrid layout (hybr). In case of disc, the quay is partitio ned into berths and only one vessel can be served at each single berth at a time. In cas e of cont, vessels can berth at arbitrary positions within the boundaries of the quay. F inally, in case hybr, the quay is partitioned into berths, A particular form of a hybrid berth is an indented berth where large vessels can be served from two oppositely loc ated berths. The spatial attribute is extended by item draft, if the BAP-approach addit ionally considers a vessel’s draft when deciding on its berthing position.Temporal attributeThis attribute describes the arrival process of vessels. The attribute reflects static arri vals (stat), dynamic arrivals (dyn), cyclic arrivals (cycl), and stochastic arrival times (s toch). In case of stat, we assume that all vessels have arrived at the port and wait fo r being served. In contrast, in case of dyn, the vessels arrive at individual but determi nistic arrival times imposing a constraint for the berth allocation. In case cycl, he ves sels call at terminals repeatedly in fixed time intervals according to their liner schedu les. In case stoch, the arrival times of vessels are stochastic parameters either define d by continuous random distributions or by scenarios with discrete probability of occ urrence. Cyclic and stochastic arrival times are considered in a number of recent pub lications and, therefore, we have extended the original classification scheme with reg ard to these cases. The temporal attribute is completed by value due, if a due date i s preset for the departure of a vessel or if a maximum waiting time is preset for a ves sel before the service has to start.Handling time attributeThis attribute describes the arrival process of vessels. The attribute reflects static arri vals (stat), dynamic arrivals (dyn), cyclic arrivals (cycl), and stochastic arrival time s (stoch). In case of stat, we assume that all vessels have arrived at the port and wait f or being served. In contrast, in case of dyn, the vessels arrive at individual but deter ministic arrival times imposing a constraint for the berth allocation. In case cycl, h e vessels call at terminals repeatedly in fixed time intervals according to their liner sc hedules. In case stoch, the arrival times of vessels are stochastic parameters either de fined by continuous random distributions or by scenarios with discrete probability o f occurrence. Cyclic and stochastic arrival times are considered in a number of recent publications and, therefore, we have extended the original classification scheme wit h regard to these cases. The temporal attribute is completed by value due, if a due dat e is preset for the departure of a vessel or if a maximum waiting time is preset for a vessel before the service has to start.Handling time attributeThis attribute describes the way how handling times of vessels are given as an input t o the problem. It takes value fix, if the handling times of vessels are known and consi dered unchangeable. Value pos indicates that handling times depend on the berthin g positions of vessels and value QCAP indicates that handling times are determine d by including QC assignment decisions into the BAP. In case of value QCSP, the ha ndling times are determined by incorporating the QC scheduling within the BAP. I n order to classify the recent literature properly, we have inserted case stoch as a ne w attribute for the scheme. Again, handling times can be subject to either discrete or c ontinuous random distributions. A similar extension of our scheme is also suggeste d by Carlo et al. (2013), who also open it to further sources of influence on vessel han dling times, like operations of transfer vehicles and yard cranes. However, as we har dly find instantiations of these cases in the literature, we refrain from extending the s cheme in further directions.Performance measureThis attribute considers the performance measures of a berth allocation model. Mos t models consider to minimize the port stay time of vessels. This is reached by different objective functions, e.g. when minimizing waiting times before berthing (wait), m inimizing handling times of vessels (hand), minimizing service completion times (co mpl), or minimizing tardy vessel departures (tard). If soft arrival times are given, als o a possible speedup of vessels (speed) is taken into consideration at the expense of a dditional bunker cost. Other models aim at reducing the variable operation cost of a t erminal by optimizing the utilization of resources (res) like cranes, vehicles, berth sp ace, and manpower. An often considered feature is to save horizontal transport capac ity by finding berthing positions for vessels close to the yard, which is why we inclu de this goal by its own value pos. Rarely met performance measures are summarize d by value misc(miscellaneous). The introduced measures are either summed up for al l vessels in the objective function. Alternatively, if the minimization of the measure fo r the worst performing vessel is pursued, i.e. a min–max objective is faced. Vessel-sp ecific priorities or cost rates are shown by weights. Different weights w1 to w4 addre ss combined performance measures.Literature overviewIn the relevant literature, we have found and classified 79 new models for bert h allocation, most of them published after 2009. Fig. 2 shows the BAP models devel oped by researchers since 1994 by year of their publication, including also those app roaches reviewed in Bierwirth and Meisel (2010). The figure shows that the interest i n berth allocation started with the early papers of Hoffarth (1994) and Imai, Nagaiw a, and Tat (1997). However, the growth of publications followed the pioneering pape r of Park and Kim (2003), who combined berth allocation and QC assignment for th e first time, and the early survey on container terminal operations by Steenken et a l. (2004). In particular, journal publications scaled up to ten and more per year after 2 010. To the mid of 2014, already 13 new journal papers have been published or acce pted for publication. The continuous effort spend on research in berth allocation confi rms it as a well-established field today, which still shows potential for future researc h.With Table 1, we also provide an overview of the methods that are used for solv ing the BAP models. Note that only the most successful method presented in a paper appears in the table. It is not surprising that heuristic approaches dominate as the B AP is known to be NP-hard in both, the discrete and the continuous case, see e.g. Li m (1998) and Hansen and Oǧuz (2003). Exact methods are applied in only one fourt h of the approaches, ranging from MILP formulations combined with standard solver s to highly sophisticated branching-based algorithms. Among the heuristic approache s, Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Algorithms take the by far largest share wit h 40 percent, see Fig. 3(left). The rest of the methods comprise other meta-heuristic s like Tabu Search and Simulated Annealing as well as problem specific heuristics lik e local search techniques and greedy rules. The richness of BAP models favors meta-heuristic approaches as they allow handling various problem features flexibly. On th e other hand, a systematic evaluation of algorithms is hindered by the strong heterog eneity of BAP models. Although comparing models is definitely necessary for assessi ng the suitability of methods, the comparison of alternative models formulated by dif ferent research groups is just emerging slowly, see Buhrkal, Zuglian, Ropke, Larse n, and Lusby (2011),Umang, Bierlaire, and Vacca (2013), and Imai, Nishimura, an d Papadimitriou (2013). To make this process sustainable, ommonly accepted BAP be nchmark instances are needed to provide authors with the opportunity to evaluate the ir work. However, the current benchmarks are either not general enough to fulfill thi s aim or they are merely used in small substreams of the entire research field. Defini ng benchmark problems for general berth allocation problems that fulfill the principle s of comparability, unbiasedness, and reproducibility remains an open topic for futur e research.In the following, we abstain from reviewing all papers listed in Table 1 individu ally. Instead, the next subsection discusses those papers in more detail that contain n ovel features of which we think they might receive particular attention in the future.译文:集装箱码头泊位与岸桥协调调度优化摘要全球经济不断发展,集装箱进出口量迅速増涨。
物流外文文献翻译精选文档TTMS system office room 【TTMS16H-TTMS2A-TTMS8Q8-外文文献原稿和译文原稿Logistics from the English word "logistics", the original intent of the military logistics support, in the second side after World War II has been widely used in the economic field. Logistics Management Association of the United States is defined as the logistics, "Logistics is to meet the needs of consumers of raw materials, intermediate products, final products and related information to the consumer from the beginning to the effective flow and storage, implementation and control of the process of . "Logistics consists of four key components: the real flow, real storage, and management to coordinate the flow of information. The primary function of logistics is to create time and space effectiveness of the effectiveness of the main ways to overcome the space through the storage distance.Third-party logistics in the logistics channel services provided by brokers, middlemen in the form of the contract within a certain period of time required to provide logistics services in whole or in part. Is a third-party logistics companies for the external customer management, control and operation of the provision of logistics services company.According to statistics, currently used in Europe the proportion of third-party logistics services for 76 percent, the United States is about 58%, and the demand is still growing; 24 percent in Europe and the United States 33% of non-third-party logistics service users are actively considering the use of third-party logistics services. As a third-party logistics to improve the speed of material flow, warehousing costs and financial savings in the cost effective means of passers-by, has become increasingly attracted great attention.First, the advantages of using a third-party logisticsThe use of third-party logistics enterprises can yield many benefits, mainly reflected in:1, focus on core businessManufacturers can use a third-party logistics companies to achieve optimal distribution of resources, limited human and financial resources to concentrate on their core energy, to focus on the development of basic skills, develop new products in the world competition, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.2, cost-savingProfessional use of third-party logistics providers, the professional advantages of mass production and cost advantages, by providing the link capacity utilization to achieve cost savings, so that enterprises can benefit from the separation of the cost structure. Manufacturing enterprises with the expansion of marketing services to participate in any degree of depth, would give rise to a substantial increase in costs, only the use of professional services provided by public services, in order to minimize additional losses. University of Tennessee in accordance with the United States, United Kingdom and the United States EXEL company EMST & YOUNG consulting firm co-organized a survey: a lot of cargo that enable them to use third-party logistics logistics costs declined by an average of percent, the average flow of goods from days to days, stock % lower.3, reduction of inventoryThird-party logistics service providers with well-planned logistics and timely delivery means, to minimize inventory, improve cash flow of the enterprise to achieve cost advantages.4, enhance the corporate imageThird-party logistics service providers and customers is a strategic partnership, the use of third-party logistics provider of comprehensive facilities and trained staff on the whole supply chain to achieve complete control, reducing the complexity of logistics, through their own networks to help improve customer service, not only to establish their own brand image, but also customers in the competition.Second, The purpose of the implementation of logistics managementThe purpose of the implementation of logistics management is to the lowest possible total cost of conditions to achieve the established level of customer service, or service advantages and seek cost advantages of a dynamic equilibrium, and thus create competitive enterprises in the strategic advantage. According to this goal, logistics management to solve the basic problem, simply put, is to the right products to fit the number and the right price at the right time and suitable sites available to customers.Logistics management systems that use methods to solve the problem. Modern Logistics normally be considered by the transport, storage, packaging, handling, processing in circulation, distribution and information constitute part of all. All have their own part of the original functions, interests and concepts. System approach is the use of modern management methods and modern technology so that all aspects of information sharing in general, all the links as an integrated system for organization and management, so that the system can be as low as possible under the conditions of the total cost, provided there Competitive advantage of customer service. Systems approach that the system is not the effectiveness of their various local links-effective simple sum. System means that, there's a certain aspects of the problem and want to all of the factors affecting the analysis and evaluation. From this idea of the logistics system is not simply the pursuit of their own in various areas of the lowest cost, because the logistics of the link between the benefits ofmutual influence, the tendency of mutual constraints, there is the turn of the relationship between vulnerability. For example, too much emphasis on packaging materials savings, it could cause damage because of their easy to transport and handling costs increased. Therefore, the systems approach stresses the need to carry out the total cost analysis, and to avoid the second best effect and weigh the cost of the analysis, so as to achieve the lowest cost, while meeting the established level of customer se rvice purposes.Third, China's enterprises in the use of third-party logistics problems inWhile third-party logistics company has many advantages, but not many enterprises will be more outsourcing of the logistics business, the reasons boil down to:1, resistance to changeMany companies do not want the way through the logistics outsourcing efforts to change the current mode. In particular, some state-owned enterprises, we reflow will also mean that the dismissal of outsourcing a large number of employees, which the managers of state-owned enterprises would mean a very great risk.2, lack of awarenessFor third-party logistics enterprise's generally low level of awareness, lack of awareness of enterprise supply chain management in the enterprise of the great role in the competition.3, fear of losing controlAs a result of the implementation of supply chain companies in enhancing the competitiveness of the important role that many companies would rather have a small but complete logistics department and they do not prefer these functions will be handed over toothers, the main reasons it is worried that if they lose the internal logistics capabilities, customers will be exchanges and over-reliance on other third-party logistics companies.4, the logistics outsourcing has its own complexitySupply chain logistics business and companies are usually other services, such as finance, marketing or production of integrated logistics outsourcing itself with complexity. On a number of practical business, including the integration of transport and storage may lead to organizational, administrative and implementation problems. In addition, the company's internal information system integration features, making the logistics business to a third party logistics companies have become very difficult to operate.5, to measure the effect of logistics outsourcing by many factorsAccurately measure the cost of information technology, logistics and human resources more difficult. It is difficult to determine the logistics outsourcing companies in the end be able to bring the cost of how many potential good things. In addition, all the uniqueness of the company's business and corporate supply chain operational capability, is usually not considered to be internal to the external public information, it is difficult to accurately compare the inter-company supply chain operational capability.Although some manufacturers have been aware of the use of third-party logistics companies can bring a lot of good things, but in practical applications are often divided into several steps, at the same time choose a number of logistics service providers as partners in order to avoid the business by a logistics service providers brought about by dependence.Fourth, China's third-party logistics companies in the development of the problems encounteredA successful logistics company, the operator must have a larger scale, the establishment of effective regional coverage area, with a strong command and control center with the high standard of integrated technical, financial resources and business strategy.China's third-party logistics companies in the development of the problems encountered can be summarized as follows:1, operating modelAt present, most of the world's largest logistics companies take the head office and branch system, centralized headquarters-style logistics operation to take to the implementation of vertical business management. The establishment of a modern logistics enterprise must have a strong, flexible command and control center to control the entire logistics operations and coordination. Real must be a modern logistics center, a profit center, business organizations, the framework, the institutional form of every match with a center. China's logistics enterprises in the operating mode of the problems of foreign logistics enterprises in the management model should be from the domestic logistics enterprises.2, the lack of storage or transport capacityThe primary function of logistics is to create time and space utility theft. For now China's third-party logistics enterprises, some companies focus on storage, lack of transport capacity; other companies is a lot of transport vehicles and warehouses throughout the country little by renting warehouses to complete the community's commitment to customers. 3, network problemsThere are a few large companies have the logistics of the entire vehicle cargo storage network or networks, but the network coverage area is not perfect. Customers in the choice of logistics partner, are very concerned about network coverage and network of regionalbranches of the density problem. The building of the network should be of great importance to logistics enterprises.4, information technologyThe world's largest logistics enterprises have "three-class network", that is, orders for information flow, resources, global supply chain network, the global Resource Network users and computer information network. With the management of advanced computer technology, these customers are also the logistics of the production of high value-added products business, the domestic logistics enterprises must increase investment in information systems can change their market position.Concentration and integration is the third-party logistics trends in the development of enterprises. The reasons are: firstly, the company intends to major aspects of supply chain outsourcing to the lowest possible number of several logistics companies; the second, the establishment of an efficient global third party logistics inputs required for increasing the capital; the third Many third-party logistics providers through mergers and joint approaches to expand its service capabilities.译文物流已广泛应用于经济领域中的英文单词“物流”,军事后勤保障的原意,在二战结束后的第二面。
物流管理专业外文翻译外文文献英文文献附录英文资料原文:From the perspective of modern logistics systems, storage is an important part of logistics is the logistics system, distribution center, hoping for effective logistics warehouse here, scientific management and control, so that the logistics system more smoothly, more reasonable to run. In this paper, the importance of starting from the warehouse, combining theory and practice, through an enterprise storage andlogistics activities in the "space" and "cargo space" to analyze how the activities in the warehouse through the "space" and "cargo space "management to improve storage efficiency, reduce storage costs.Case Background: Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. of a storage management. A Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. located in Guangdong Huizhou Jinyuan Industrial Zone, which was established in 1998, is a professional lighting devices and electrical equipment manufacturers, it is the industry's leading enterprises. With excellent product quality, excellent service, the access to the customer's extensive approval and praise. In order to adapt to the new form of strategic development needs, the Company's existing network of integrated customer relationship, across the country set up the 35 operations centers, improve the company's supply chain, logistics, warehousing and distribution systems and customer service system. The company is headquartered Total finishedgoods warehouse 3, namely a set of finished products warehouse, finished products and finished second group of three storage warehouses. They are based on different types of products in different product sub-warehouses: one product a warehouse on the first floor is to facilitate the shipment into, so it is relatively types of goods stored there are more point, such as lamp, lamp panel and so on. And all of the export goods are stored in a group. Finished second group is mainly warehouse track lights, metal halide lamp, T4 lamp, T5 lamp and light. The company's several light sources are stored in the warehouse two groups finished. Three major stored product warehouse specific grid lamps, ceiling lamps, track lights, and some other companies products.1 An analysis of warehouse storage spaceWarehouse storage system's main elements include storage space, goods, personnel and equipment and other factors. Storage is the storage of the core functions and key links, storage area plan is reasonable or not directly affect the operational efficiency of warehouse and storage capacity. Therefore, the effective use of storage space as warehouse management is one important factor of good or bad. The company'sproducts sell well. Frequency of a large warehouse storage, goods flow also great. The company's warehouse space layout is stored on theshelves of goods, three-dimensional space utilization is not high, sohe's warehouse is not very high degree of mechanization, storage, only forklifts, including hand trucks and electric forklift. Warehouse operation methods, generally with a forklift, rarely manpower for thereceipt of goods, which are materials used to send and receive cards, every time shipping and receiving cards will be done in the send and receive registration materials, so we usually check very convenient goods such as some of the follow-up results from the present work seems to still relatively high efficiency, operation is quite easy. So the whole way of operating the company's warehouse is quite reasonable. The warehouse usually because the storage space is often not enough and the goods stored in the work space position. Particularly in the sales season, the warehouse storage products especially crowded, working up inside people feel a little depressedfeeling. So not very reasonable storage operating environment. The warehouse, data storage costs a statistical look fairly reasonable, because it costs very little equipment, fixed storage cost is not very high, while the storage cost is the cost of the class structure, so storage costs are therefore not very high.Storage warehouse for storage of goods that is as functional space.Storage space = potential use of physical space + space + space + operations useless space. Physical space, which means the goods were in fact occupied the space. The company's warehouse, its physical space accounted for 75% of the warehouse; the potential use of space accounted for 10%; work space and accounts for about 10% as the company's warehouse mechanization is not high, so a small point of space does not work What effect, its security is also essential to meet the requirements intermittent; his useless space accounted for about 5%. Onthe whole, the warehouse space utilization is high, there is a little crowded phenomenon. Analysis: the relative reduction should be the use of some physical space to increase the number of intermittent operations such as space, safety of space use. In addition, space and vertical space from the plane of view, the level of space has been put to good use, but the use of vertical space is not high, it can be considered top shelf, or high-level automatic three-dimensional shelf, to make better use of vertical space.2 rack management analysisRack management refers to the goods into warehouse, on the goods handling, how to put, place, etc. where a reasonable and effective planning and management. The disposal of goods, how to place, mainly by the strategic decision taken by the storage of goods of a specific storage location, will have to combine the principles of location assignment related to the decision. The company's warehouse storage rack management approach is used in positioning guidelines to follow. Positioning refers to each type of storage or storage of goods are fixed for each cargo space, cargo space of goods can not be interoperable. Therefore, when planning cargo space, cargo space for each volume of goods shall not be less than the possible maximum amount in the bank. However, in actual operation, the positioning of different storage conditions generally done in accordance with appropriate adjustments, it will make changes based on the actual situation. Cargo space in the warehouse management in the work by the staff of the company, combiningtheory with practice, carried out positioning, fixed-point, quantitative management principles, therefore, Ta cargo-bit capability is not Quanbu Anzhaozuida conducted in the library volume positioning, as the company's products belong to relatively large seasonal variations in the product, if the maximum amount set in the library space utilization will fall to the warehouse, so wastage of resources.- As all the libraries in the digital warehouse are stored with the principles of positioning, in accordance with the current situation of the company's warehouse, all use the principle of positioning is not very reasonable storage should be in accordance with the different characteristics of products and storage requirements, the product classification For important product, a small number of products used variety store positioning. And because almost all of the company's products feature the same features they are not mutually exclusive, this product features from the point of view is they could be put together randomly.In addition, the company's warehouse management, distribution of cargo spaces You are also a number of principles: (1) FIFO principle, Ji is the ancestor of goods, first-out library library principles, the principles generally applicable to a short life cycle of goods. (2) the principle of facing channel, referring to the goods of the mark, name the face of passageways so that theoperator can easily simple identification, it allows the retentionof goods, access to easy and efficient manner, which is to the warehouseto be fluent in the basic principles of operation. (3) weight characteristics of the principle, meaning that according to the weight of different goods to determine the level of goods in the storage location of places. In general, the weight should be kept on the ground or the lower shelf position, light goods were kept in the upper shelf location. In the case of manual handling operations carried out when the people of waist height for the custody of heavy or large items, while above the waist height of the light used to keep the goods or small items. This principle, the use of the safety and shelf manual handling operations have great significance. According to this principle, the company's warehouse stocking on the use of the fruit picking type. In this way, the storage requirements of the company's present situation is very reasonable, but also for staff is also very convenient.In the specific cargo space management process, we can see that the above description: they still use more modern management methods and principles. These methods and principles. For most of the moretraditional business management for storage or a more scientific and reasonable. Of course, in the management of the process there will be issues, such as operation in practice, some operators do not pay attention, not careful, careless also makes some of the principles of our implementation is not good enough. In the company's product sales, and warehouse management appears cargo space confusion, some products will be stored in the operating channel and the secure channel, so that is not conducive to our operations, warehouse operations particularlyaffect the safety of personnel, there are security risks. Because these problems often are especially prominent when the season, so these problems, the author suggested that some of the goods stored in the open yard, but the time to do well in the storage protection. 3 proposed ABC Classified Management ApplicationsTo conduct an effective inventory management and control, we mustfirst sort of inventory, only then can we better manage the goods and control. Therefore, I analyzed that in the original storage facilities under the same conditions, using ABC classification of goods for the implementation and management. This can effectively use the original storage space and cargo space. Through the analysis of goods to identify the primary and secondary, classification queue. According to Barrett curve reveals the "critical few and minor majority" rule should be applied in the management. Therefore, in accordance with product value, sales, shortage cost, or order in advance of other indicators toclassify the product. A class of products which are the highest value of inventory, general inventory of its total inventory of 15%, while the value of it is accounted for 70% ~ 80%; B products are middle of the stock value of these species 30% of the total inventory value of the total value of 15% to 25%; while the C class product is the value of the bottom of the inventory, its value is only 5% of the total value, but it accounts for the total inventory stocks 55%. Storage can be classified by goods and different products for each type of different management strategies developed to implement different control measures. In themanagement process, the products for A to require warehousing products are all everyday to inspect and inventory, the operation should be careful, can significantly embodiment up such products other products Butong between, were the focus of management; on B products, managed by sub-key can be 2 to 3 days to inspect and inventory. At the same time,do not neglect the management of products on the C, C products every week to conduct an inspection and inventory.We know from the analysis, storage operations, "space", "cargo space" and its scientific and rational management is an important partof warehouse management, warehousing costs alsoaffect the cost of important factors. Through practical examples of some of the storagemanagement problem analysis and research, through analysis and study of these issues, so wehave deeper storage management to understand, storage has its own management principles, weshould abide by and seriously the implementation of these principles. When in use thecombination of theory and practice, so that our warehouse and our theory more in tune with theactual operation. Only the combination of theory and practice to our knowledge to the limits.中文译文从现代物流系统观点来看,仓储是物流的一个重要环节,是物流系统的调运中心,希望在仓储这里对物流进行有效、科学地管理与控制,使物流系统更顺畅、更合理地运行。

外文翻译原文Port-centric logisticsMaterial Source: Author: John Mangan and Chandra Lalwani1. Ports and supply chainsPorts and maritime transport have existed for some thousands of years and have developed in line with the evolution of International trade which has been inherent in shaping the modern world. Some 6 billion tones of freight moves by maritime transport each year and is estimated to comprise 45 percent liquid bulks,23 percent dry bulks and 32percent general cargo. Total freight movements vary according to region, commodity and freight origin/destination. According to the World Bank(2001), there are more than 2,000 ports around the world, from single berth locations handling a few hundred tones a year to some of the world’s largest p orts such as Shanghai, Singapore and Rotterdam, which individually handle multiples of this (in the case of Shanghai, for example, the 2005 estimate is 443 million metric tones American Association of Port Authorities, 2005).Ports and maritime transport thus play an important role today in global commerce. It is important to first define exactly what is meant by the term “port”. According to Stopford (1997), a port is “a geographical area where ships are brought alongside land to load and discharge cargo –usually a sheltered deep water area such as a bay of river mouth”. Often ports comprise multiple terminals, a terminal being “a section of the port consisting of one or more berths devoted to a particular type of cargo handling”. Ports handle various diff erent categories of freight. Maritime freight is typically classified as: liquid bulk (the most significant sub-category here is oil), dry bulk(such as coal and some agricultural products), unitised freight (which comprises both lift-on/lift-off containers, i.e. Lo-Lo and roll-on/roll-off units, i.e. Ro-Ro), and other general freight. Some ports handle all categories of freight, while others focus on particular categories; different types of handling equipment at ports are usually required for these different categories of freight.Robinson suggests that: the role of ports and the way in which ports position themselves must be defined within a paradigm of ports as elements in value-driven chain systems, not simply as places with particular, if complex, functions. Reflectingwider logistics and supply chain management issues, there has also been recognition within the literature concerning the evolution of the demand for maritime transport. Panayides (2006) for example notes that: the demand for maritime transport nowadays cannot be solely considered to be a derived demand emanating from the need for products, but rather as an integrated demand emanating from the need to minimise costs, improve reliability, add value, and a series of other dimensions and characteristics pertaining to the transportation of goods from the point of production to the point of consumption.2. Trends in maritime freight transport and shippingThe increased emphasis on the role and efficiency of ports needs to be viewed in the context of the considerable growth that has occurred in recent years in world trade in general and in maritime transport in particular. Today, many of the world’s economies are becoming increasingly interrelated as a result of increasing trade and the growing trend towards globalisation of production. Over the past half-century, most countries have seen an increase in exports as a share of GDP, with the vast bulk of these exports transported by sea. A number of trends affecting the maritime sector have been central to efficiency and productivity gains. These include better, faster and larger vessels, and improvements in cargo handling at ports.3. Trends in the ports sector3.1 Port development and ownershipTraditionally, most ports acted as simple transshipment hubs where freight passed between ships and landside transport. This was typically a very labour intensive activity, but technological developments (such as increased use of containers and more sophisticated cranes) together with reform of dock labour schemes led to significantly decreased employment at many ports. This was further exacerbated by the fact that for reasons of geography, some ports are located in peripheral locations (to allow short sea crossings) where alternative employment is scarce. With changes in ship type, and the nature of freight being transported new facilities were developed either at alternative locations within ports, or in some instances on green field sites, with the result that many original port areas fell into disrepair. Some port areas however, leveraging their waterfront location, have benefited from significant developments in areas such as residential property and, with the growth of the leisure sector, marina development.Privatised ports are often of much interest to investors. In the UK, for example, PD Ports (which operates Tees port and has interests in a number of other UK portsplus related logistics activities) was acquired by the Australian investment company Babcock and Brown Infrastructure Ltd in late-2005. Meanwhile, the main private UK port operator, Associated British Ports (ABP), delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2006 following the completion of the takeover of the company by Admiral Acquisitions UK Ltd. The next section discusses the endeavours by GPOs to extend their global footprint by acquiring overseas port facilities. Increasingly, privatized ports are owned by investors outside of the country where the port(s) are located, and some commentators express worries about a lack of national control over such important assets as ports in any country’s infrastructure (for example, the recent take over of P&O by Dubai Ports World (DPW) as discussed below).3.2 Global port operators (GPOs)Globalisation of shipping and trade is resulting in increasing pressure on ports to reduce container terminal costs and improve operational efficiency. Mega shippers of freight are generally seeking single supplier contracts looking for carriers that can provide efficient and cost effective services. In turn, the carriers are seeking cost reductions and efficiency gains at the ports they utilise, with single sourcing across ports in terms of port terminal operations becoming more common. In response to this and to the need for integration in international supply chains a num ber of GPOs have emerged who manage an increasing number of the world’s ports. This has been helped by port deregulation and changes in ownership in many countries.3.3 Interport competitionNotteboomand Winkelmans (2001) noted that inter-port competition has intensified, even among more distant ports, and point out that for example the competition between European ports situated in different port ranges has increased considerably in recent years. Such inter-port competition challenges the traditional assumption where each country has to have its own port(s). Delays in new container port development in Britain for example have led some commentators to note that Britain could “find itself in danger of becoming little more than an appendage to the major North European continental ports” (Asteris and Collins, 2007) (the implication being that Britain’s international traffic would transit to and from deep sea routes via ports such as Rotterdam and Antwerp). Of course, it should be added that ports can cooperate as well as compete!3.4 Ports and economic growthIncreasingly, ports are recognised as key components in determining the overallcompetitiveness of national economies. Cullinane and Song (2002) point out that ports constitute a critical link in the supply chain and that their level of efficiency and performance influences, to a large extent, a country’s competitiveness. Similarly, Sanchezet al. (2003) in the context of a number of Latin American countries, showed that port efficiency is a relevant determin ant of a country’s competitiveness and interestingly they add that, unlike most other relevant variables, port efficiency can be influenced by public policies. Bryan et al. (2006) provide a comprehensive review of the literature generally on South Wales, they quantify the economic significance of that set of ports activities on the region. These issues then have generated the drive today to improve port efficiency, lower cargo handling costs and integrate port services with other components of the global distribution network.4. Port-centric logistics and supply chain strategiesIt is now generally accepted that supply chains, and not individual firms or products, are the basis of much marketplace competition (Christopher, 1992). Transport services (links in supply chains) and transport infrastructure (nodes in supply chains) are key elements in efficient logistics systems. Maritime transport (comprising ports as nodes and shipping services as links) is the dominant mode for international freight movements and is thus crucial to international trade and a vital component of many supply chains. When difficulties arise in the maritime chain, the results can be quite dramatic, as was the case for example in the second-half of 2004 when congestion at the port of Long Beach in the USA, which had its origins in labour disputes, led to ships remaining idle and anchored at sea for up to four days with a considerable knock-on effect on consignors and consignees (Marshall, 2005).Another concept, “port-centric logistics”,has recently been promoted in the maritime logistics sector (Falkner, 2006; Wall, 2007; Analytiqa, 2007); we define port-centric logistics as the provision of distribution and other value-adding logistics services at a port. Ports are increasingly recognising that higher profit margins can be made on some non core port activities and this is driving them to engage in activities beyond simply providing berths for ships and other core port services: The port is just one node in any particular supply chain and how goods flow through that node will depend in part upon the strategy adopted by that supply chain. This of course, is to presuppose that all supply chains work to a particular strategy. It could however be argued that with regard to supply chain strategy sometimes theory is ahead of practice! Godsell et al. (2006), for example, noted that while theory suggested that supply chains should be demand-led, it has proven difficult to findempirical data in support of such an approach. Furthermore, they suggest that the functional nature of many organisations (in our view this could also include ports) at an operational level acts as a barrier to aligning supply chains effectively with the markets they serve thus obviating against a customer responsive supply chain strategy being pursued.5. ConclusionWhile this paper reviewed the roles played by ports in logistics and supply chain management generally, and developed both the concept of port-centric logistics and our understanding of the role(s) of ports within supply chains, a useful next step would be to further investigate and quantify port-centric logistics activities. We believe there is significant potential for ports to engage in more port-centric logistics activities, a potential which is in our view still quite latent in the case of many ports. The movement of such freight through a port represents the use of the port just as one node in a supply chain. An effort should then be made to identify where value-adding logistics activities take place along these supply chains, both before and after the freight passes through the port (and, if appropriate, at the port). This may reveal a potential for more port-centric logistics activities at ports.译文Port-centric logistics资料来源: 宁波数字图书馆作者:John Mangan and Chandra Lalwani 1.港口和供应链港口和海上运输已经存在数千年之久了,并随着国际贸易的演变也已成为现在世界所固有的一种方式。

Journal of Economic Geography, 2016, 9(2): 113-121.原文The research of international airport and airport logistics park development economicTR LeinbachAbstractAs "the third profits source" of the logistics industry, has been more and more get people's attention and concern, and its important branches of airport logistics is more because of its safety, quick, convenient and high quality service by the favour of people. The development of the airport logistics park, in addition to the need of business process improvement, the improvement of the management system, is more driven by information technology. In this paper, the business process of airport logistics park and logistics plate member enterprise information system carried on the thorough analysis and research, put forward the construction of airport physical park plan to implement the information system of public information platform of connectivity, effectively solve the logistics park long-standing repeated data entry and information island phenomenon, finally realizes the operations, processes, the integration of information and services.Keywords: Airport logistics; Bonded warehouse. Airport economic1 IntroductionIn the process of economic globalization, especially after entering the 90 s, the global air cargo demand presents the acceleration growth trend, become the driving force of the global logistics industry development, and promote the sustained growth of the economy in the world. The development of information technology in the aviation logistics industry plays an important role in the process. Air cargo process it efficiently support the logistics, information flow and cash flow, is an essential part of airport logistics industry development important factors. The application of information technology can improve the opacity and air cargo process information asymmetry, and solve the process complexity, inefficiency of operation.2 The research status2.1 The concept of airport logistics and airport Logistics ParkAirport logistics based on modern logistics, relying on the airport, to the airport as the center of a modern logistics mode, to aviation and airport ground supporting facilities for the logistics as the core, by means of transportation services, many airlines, air freight forwarding, integrated logistics enterprise to provide public logistics facilities, logistics, information service and comprehensive logistics services. This particularity, had decided the airport logistics is different from the general sense on the function of logistics, and must consider the airport logistics in industrial chain and the core business and the difference between traditional logistics. According to the current classification of Air transport of goods (Air Cargo), can be divided into ordinary sense of the Cargo (Air Freight) transportation, Mail (Air Mail) transport and Express, Air Express transportation. And the extension of airport logistics industry chain will be made by pure cargo transportation to logistics value-added (spin-off, packaging, processing), to form the agglomeration effect of international trade, international exhibition, and other functions.Logistics Park is two or more logistics enterprises focus on the space layout of places, is to have a certain scale and the comprehensive service functions of logistics rally point. And airport Logistics Park based on aviation aircraft and airport ground supporting facilities for the logistics as the core, to transport services as a means, for many airlines, air freight forwarding, integrated logistics enterprise to provide public logistics facilities, logistics, information services and comprehensive logistics services. Airport Logistics Park on the function mainly includes three big functions platform: logistics functions of the core platform, logistics value-added platform, aviation logistics service support platform.2.2 Singapore airport logistics information systemSingapore airport logistics involved most advanced internal information system, in order to strengthen the connection between the parties, is dominated by the government in 1989 established the Trade Net trade system, and by government and private joint venture operations.TradeNet provide electronic customs declaration services and online trade, and for the low degree of informatization of small andmedium-sized enterprises to provide electronic data entry services, can make 90% of the goods in 3 minutes to complete the relevant formalities, and customs release number in the form of a bar code can be printed, improve the efficiency of cargo release. At the same time, it not only support is directly related to the freight business, also connected to the banking system with electronic tax service.2.3 The European and American airport logistics information status quoDue to start earlier, long development time, the European and American area of airport logistics information basically in the top in the world. In these areas, airport logistics participants in the supply chain has been basically achieved the internal information, and the federal express (FedEx), TNT (TNT) throughout the supply chain, such as express delivery company has established an integrated system. At the same time Europe and the United Nations and regions have established their respective corresponding Information platform, such as America's Freight FIRST real-time Information System (Freight Information Real - time System of Transport), British Destin8 service platform (based on the original building FCPS), Germany Decoys service platform, the Dutch W @ vet port service platform, etc., are in the different degree to promote the rapid development of the aviation logistics industry.3 The airport logistics value chain based on time competitionAirport logistics is given priority to with air transport and multimodal transport, mainly for the production cycle is short, to logistics timeliness demanding enterprise, to provide procurement, production, sales and after-sales maintenance link across regions between raw materials, intermediate products and finished goods, transportation, storage, loading and unloading, handling, packaging, circulation processing, distribution, information processing, and other functions of integrated logistics service, make the goods flow from supply to demand. Since 1970, the airport logistics is developing rapidly, the international airport logistics is growing at double every 10 years. Into the 1990 s, the international airport logistics growth speed is almost twice as many passenger traffic growth. Air cargo in 2000 accounted for 2% of global trade transportation total weight, but 40% of the gross. It is predicted that the world airport through put over the next 20 years will be growing at an average annualrate of 6.4%.3.1 Based on time competition of industry value chain analysisValue chain is by Michael Porter, Michael e. Porter) in his book competitive advantage. Its essence is: a series of can satisfy the customer needs through information flow, logistics and cash flow associated with the chain of value creation activities. Object is the enterprise internal value chain theory research a series of activities to create value, is the enterprise internal value chain. As the enterprise management specialization, the further development of intra-industry division of labor unceasingly, the activities of different enterprises in the value of each link has formed a unique advantage, and even to some link formed a monopoly. Industry internal different types of value creation activities gradually dominated by an enterprise for separation of multiple enterprise activities, the value chain link is broken down, the value of different link exists in different enterprises respectively, forming together create value of the upstream and downstream relationship, which has formed the industry value chain. Most value chain from r&d, design, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, sales and service into a series of industrial activities in a certain order value-added network chain structure.At the same time, customer demand for products in addition to the diversification, personalization, also increasingly to agility and timely request, supply chain management under pressure to continuously shorten delivery time. Trend of buyer's market has become increasingly obvious, the customer has become the potential energy in the whole supply chain network, in this new "customer the highest potential energy" and economic environment, due to the gradually to the time factor on customer focus, time to become the new profit after cost, quality and service. Global manufacturing technology development, the high and new technology enterprise of raw materials to production line of increasingly strict time, demand for zero inventory is higher and higher, faster and faster speed for the promotion of new product requirements. Industry value chain through intra-industry division of labor and industry within the synergistic effect between each link, reduce the total cost of all aspects of the competition will focus on time constraints on the whole industry valuechain, improve the efficiency of the whole of the industrial activities, the time to ask compression industrial chain link of different activities and activity link between the flow of time.3.2 Airport logistics optimal goods analysisAirport logistics for its flexibility, high efficiency for the industry to bring high value-added logistics services, however high the cost of air transport than other modes of transportation, and limits on the goods. So when the industry of raw materials, components and finished goods with good air transportable, airport logistics to better service in the industry, increase the industry's value chain. At present, the products suitable for the aviation logistics, mainly is the arrival of the period, large impact on the business, high added value of science and technology, deep processing and timely production of products and fresh food. According to the size of the market and the market growth speed airport logistics optimal divided into goods and services. Communication products, machinery parts, auto parts market scale is larger, and market growth speed, so the communications industry, machinery and auto parts industry is an important customer of airport logistics industry. Electronic parts, precision machinery, business documents, medicines, belong to the size of the market and goods market growth speed is moderate, therefore electronics, precision machinery manufacturing, business, medicine industry is major customers in the development of airport logistics industry. The computer software, seafood, fresh products are smaller market growth inferior goods, so the seafood business, software industry is the aviation logistics industry can develop customers.3.3 Airport logistics value analysisBased on time competition of the industrial chain to airport logistics demand growth, puts forward higher requirements to the logistics service level. Airport logistics can no longer be confined to simple warehousing and transportation function, but to provide integrated logistics tracking and logistics information integrated logistics service. Airport logistics service by the shipper, the logistics outsourcing business, express company, airport cargo terminal, airlines, agents and the main body composition such as consignee, each main body assumes the role of different, throughthe supply - demand relationship formed logistics service chain, service value and pass on the service chain. Timeliness and integrated operation is airport logistics value-added, high-profit, ascending key industry value chain based on time competition. And fast and efficient airport logistics services, logistics industry within reasonable specialization and cooperation as the foundation, through the network, information to improve operational efficiency, to provide services for high-tech products and international trade, services to create value, improve the industry value chain.3.4 Airport economic formation and developmentAlong with the development of the airport logistics, many enterprises to shorten international airport with preference and airport physical distance, choose gathered around in the airport layout, promote the formation and development of airport economy. Airport economy, by means of air transport to point to the industry in the development of economic form has a self-reinforcing mechanism of cluster effect, from the surrounding industrial adjustment and the convergence of these industries in the airport around the economic development of corridor, opening and all kinds of manufacturing industry cluster related to the air transport industry cluster, then forms to point to the industry as the leading international airport, a variety of industrial organic relation's unique economic development mode. Airport economic zone, it is because of the huge effect of air transport, airport adjacent area and the airport along the corridor in production, technology, capital, and trade and population aggregation, thus forming the multi-functional economic region译文空港物流园区发展和临空经济研究TR Leinbach摘要作为“第三利润源”的物流业,已经越来越受到人们的重视和关注,而它的重要分支——空港物流更因其安全、快捷、方便和优质的服务受到了人们的青睐。
毕设附件:外文文献原文+译文文献出处作者:Russell D期刊:World Review of Intermodal Transportation Research第3卷,第1期,151-160原文The study on the development pattern of port logisticsRussell DAbstractWorld port logistics development mode of port management and port logistics operation mode, among them, the port management mode is the foundation, is the essence of the port logistics operation model constraint. With the port development course, the world of port management mode is gradually changing. At present, the management mode of typical ports in the world are mainly represented by the Hong Kong port of private enterprise management mode and represented by Singapore's port of the common management mode, etc. This paper probes into the world, summarized the typical port logistics development mode analysis, provide enlightenment for the development of port logistics.Keywords: Port logistics; Operate pattern; Port management1 Port management pattern1.1 Private enterprise management patternPrivate enterprise management mode refers to the investment in infrastructure construction and port management is carried out by private enterprise management mode. Completely by the private management of ports in the world is not much, more representative is Hong Kong port. Almost all the port of Hong Kong port facilities built by private investment and management, the container terminal completely follow the policy of free port. In kwai chung port, for example, the terminal of 19 container berth respectively by hutchison whampoa, the United States marines, Hyundai and Cosco (with hutchison whampoa, the joint venture) four companies management, port of the private enterprise business rarely by government intervention, amarket-oriented, completely independent pricing. Private management pattern is the main characteristic of management market, high efficiency, but because the private enterprise capital scale and the capital required for port investment operation scale, there is a huge gap, therefore this model will be restricted to a certain extent port of long-term investment and planning and development.1.2 Common management patternIn the common management mode, the port is invested and managed by the government, state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises jointly. This model is not only the world's most common mode of port management, is also the government and state enterprises management mode port development direction and trend of the reform. This trend is also known as port of commercialization or privatization, the main characteristic is to break the single port by the state or government management mode, to minimize the government directly participate in the management of port operation, the Singapore port management belongs to the pattern. Singapore port after the port management system reform, the original port authority is divided into Singapore bureau of shipping and port and Singapore port group. Shipping and port bureau mainly deal with port and shipping regulation and technical problems, it is mainly undertake the port investment, operation and management functions. To Singapore port privatization reform brought great benefit, not only to enhance the enterprise staff's service consciousness, and thus reduce the operation cost and improve the operation efficiency, and increase the enterprise overseas investment, further consolidate the Singapore port in the advantage position in the international shipping.2 Operation pattern analyses of port logisticsIn the context of port management model, after long-term exploration and practice, in the world at present has formed four typical port logistics operation mode, including the landlord type logistics center mode, joint venture type logistics center model and independent model of logistics center and supply chain model and joint logistics center.2.1 The port of Rotterdam logistics operation modeLandlord type logistics center model is created by the port of Rotterdam and development, so also called Rotterdam port logistics operation mode. In this mode, the port authority has a lot of management autonomy and the land use right, is united by the port area of terminal facilities, industrial land management, and other facilities. Usually by the port authority took out part of the warehouse and yard into the public port logistics center, but its only responsible for the management and provides the infrastructure and supporting services, itself does not directly participate in the management of logistics center. When after the completion of the logistics center by the port authority is the key to choose business solid foundation and good reputation logistics business practice, gradually absorb the industrial and commercial enterprises to join the logistics center, make raw material procurement, distribution and other functions to a logistics center is responsible for, to participate in the supply chain management. Type landlord port logistics operation mode of logistics center represents a direction of the port logistics development in the world, in addition to the port of Rotterdam, currently in the United States New York/New Jersey port, port of Baltimore, Germany's Hamburg's seaport and the French port of Marseille and other world famous ports adopt this model.2.2 The Antwerp port logistics operation modeJoint venture type logistics center is a joint venture of port logistics center, the pattern by creating and development of the port of Antwerp, also called to Antwerp port logistics operation mode. This model is based on ports, several water and land transport enterprises, joint or in the form of share-holding system of modern logistics center, as loading and unloading, and the unity of warehousing, transportation, distribution, information processing, to carry out a dragon, door to door, to the comprehensive service. The advantage of this model is on the one hand can solve the port the plight of lack of funds, on the other hand, through cooperation with domestic and foreign advanced logistics enterprises, faster to understand and grasp the international operation and management technology of modern logistics center and works.2.3 Port of Hong Kong logistics operation modeIndependent model of logistics center model namely by the port enterprises to establish specialized logistics center, make use of the port facilities, manpower and upstream and downstream business relationship to develop logistics business. This kind of development model by the creation and development of Hong Kong port, so also is called Hong Kong port logistics transport. As a model, it pays attention to establish communication between the port and port, port and port pipes, usually in port for the join point, establish enterprise, city, regional and even national modern logistics service network system, from a single section in loading and unloading, transport and warehousing services, to the raw materials and finished goods to the change of the whole logistics service consumption, and at the same time by strengthening port freight forwarders and ship generation service function, establish perfect service network can provide one-stop service. In addition, the current in the vigorously developing network logistics center, Hong Kong, namely through the logistics information network, to carry out the electronic commerce, and developed into electronic logistics center, the formation of offshore trading and remote logistics. In addition, given the close to port development of logistics facilities, the Hong Kong port and shipping board on how to strengthen Hong Kong as a global and regional research on the preferred transport and logistics hub in Asia, the rear at the airport or port planning and construction "value-added logistics park". Value-added Logistics Park provides not only the general warehousing services, and provides all kinds of logistics value-added services; time must be accurate cargo handling services and e-business services.2.4 Singapore port logistics operation modeType of supply chain logistics center model is composed of port logistics enterprises together with the shipping logistics enterprises logistics center, take advantage of each in different parts of the supply chain, division of labor cooperation, joint investment of close logistics group or by the same big shipping and logistics operation of group companies two supply chain. Joint logistics center model is by port and bonded area, or jointly with the city to form a logistics center to conduct business. The pattern created by the Singapore port and development, so also called Singaporeport logistics operation mode.3 Revelation3.1 Port management attaches great importance to and reasonable planning modelPort logistics is an important content of modern port development, its development has experienced from traditional logistics to integrated logistics and supply chain logistics distribution logistics, several stages of development. Port logistics development is based on the development of the port is a port with the infrastructure as well as the operation and management mechanism as the background, so the port will directly affect the development of port development. And port management pattern for the operational efficiency of the port logistics has a great influence to the development of the direct relationship between the ports, which will greatly influence the development of port logistics. This from Singapore port and the development of the Japanese ports can be a good proof. At the same time, through the implementation of free port policy, the construction of large professional logistics center and a variety of preferential measures to attract multinational companies in the construction of port logistics or distribution center, etc., create convenient conditions for the development of port logistics environment, has become a hub for international logistics. By several common management mode can make the government's power of port control combined with private enterprise management ability efficiently, balance social interests and private economy, overcome the public of the public sector and private enterprise management shortcomings and limitations, in recent years, quite a few national port management mode is actively to various common management mode, namely the trend of port privatization.3.2 Give full play to the government's macro guidance and coordinationIn the development of port logistics, the government plays an important role. The development of modern port logistics needs the government and enterprises to cooperate with each other and work together. This is port management mode with the world gradually to the government, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises of various common management mode development trend, and represented by Rotterdam, Singapore etc., the world's major ports logistics operation mode isconsistent. Throughout a typical port the development of modern logistics, noting have is not the government's planning, investment and favorable policies and measures on the basis of development, even though very few in the world such as the Hong Kong international big port of the completely by the private enterprise management, the government also set up the port development council, is responsible for the planning and development of the port. Therefore, the government in the process of the development of port logistics must give full play to its overall planners and the role of the regulators.3.3 Carefully study the target of modern port logistics developmentFrom the port of Hong Kong, Singapore and other international port, modern port logistics gradually in the development towards the direction of the comprehensive and integrated. Among them, the Omni-directional mainly reflected in the port logistics centers around the owners to provide various kinds of value-added services, including various financial and insurance services, to provide the goods at the port, shipping and other transport in the process of the best logistics solutions, provide the fair inspection, as well as catering leisure entertainment, retail services and so on.译文港口物流发展模式研究Russell D摘要世界港口物流发展模式由港口管理模式和港口物流运作模式构成,其中,港口管理模式是基础,是港口物流运作模式的根本制约因素。
中文4400字本科毕业论文外文翻译外文题目:A logistics and supply chain management approach to port performance measurement出处:MARIT. POL. MGMT作者:Khalid Bichou and Richard Gray原文:A logistics and supply chain management approach toport performance measurementBy Khalid Bichou and Richard GrayMARIT. POL. MGMT2004VOL. 31, NO. 1, 47–67ABSTRACTAlthough there is widespread recognition of the potential of ports as logistics centres, widely accepted performance measurements for such centres have yet to be developed. The essence of logistics and supply chain management is an integrative approach to the interaction of different processes and functions within a firm extended to a network of organizations for the purpose of cost reduction and customer satisfaction. The logistics approach often adopts a cost trade-off analysis between functions, processes and even supply chains. This approach could be beneficial to port efficiency by directing port strategy towards relevant value-added logistics activities. This paper seeks to show that through conceptualizing ports from a logistics and supply chain management approach, it is possible to suggest a relevant framework of port performance. A proposed framework is tested in a survey of port managers and other international experts.IntroductionMeasures of port efficiency or performance indicators use a diverse range of techniques for assessment and analysis, but although many analytical tools and instruments exist, a problem arises when one tries to apply them to a range of ports and terminals. Ports are very dissimilar and even within a single port the current or potential activities can be broad in scope and nature, so that the choice of an appropriate tool of analysis is difficult. Organizational dissimilarity constitutes a serious limitation to enquiry, not only concerning what to measure but also how to measure. Furthermore, the concept of efficiency is vague and proves difficult to apply in a typical port organization extending across production, trading and service industries.Ports have an important role to play in the integration of all three types of channel. There are many organizations occupied (or potentially occupied) with logistics and supply chain integration within and around ports, mainly in the role of logistics channel facilitators (ocean carriers, land-based carriers, port operators, freight forwarders, port agents, etc.), but also as public institutions such as Customs authorities. This paper seeks to adopt an approach that incorporates within a valid framework of analysis existing measures of port performance and efficiency, the association of ports with logistics and supply chain management, and appropriate measures of logistics and supply chain management efficiency.Background literaturePort performance and efficiencyUNCTAD suggests two categories of port performance indicators: macro performance indicators quantifying aggregate port impacts on economic activity,and micro performance indicators evaluating input/output ratio measurements of port operations. In this paper, we focus on the micro level. Various references, particularly UNCTAD monographs, provide a range of port indicators by ratio type and category of operation. There are many ways of measuring port efficiency or productivity, although reducible to three broad categories: physical indicators, factor productivity indicators, and economic and financial indicators. Physical indicators generally refer to time measures and are mainly concerned with the ship (e.g. ship turnaround time, ship waiting time, berth occupancy rate, working time at berth).Sometimes, coordination with land modes of transport is measured, e.g. cargo dwell time or the time elapsed between cargo being unloaded from a ship until it leaves the port.Factor productivity indicators also tend to focus on the maritime side of the port,for example to measure both labour and capital required to load or unload goods from a ship. Similarly, economic and financial indicators are usually related to the sea access; for example, operating surplus or total income and expenditure related to gross registered tonnes (GRT) or net registered tonnes (NRT), or charge per twenty foot equivalent unit (TEU). Port impacts on the economy are sometimes measured to assess the economic and social impacts of a seaport on its respective hinterland or foreland. The results may be provided in port statistics, e.g. the port of Rotterdam or by research institutes such as ISEMAR in France.Many ports, particularly those in urban areas, have inadequate land-side connections. Land-side efficiency also needs to be addressed when ways are sought to expand port capacity. Port capacity is difficult to measure or even to define. It is, nevertheless, likely to be easier for a port to make better use of existing capacity rather than subsidize new transport infrastructure. A logistics and supply chain approach may achieve better use of port capacity.Port activities are usually measured by cargo output or through production functions. In the first case, the assessment of efficiency is based either on the contribution of a single factor productivity to port throughput such as output per worker or output per wharf, or on the measurement of total cargo handling productivity, where performance evaluation equates port operations to the production function. Much empirical research falls under this category and seeks to compare actual output to optimum output using the frontier method.Review of port literature relevant to logistics and supply chain management.In the port and shipping literature, few authors have addressed the issue of logistics and supply chain management within ports and across their network of organizations, and many published works adopt a fragmented approach to port operations.Although current literature recognizes the role of ports as integral components of distribution systems, many studies disaggregate total port operations and focus on single or a few elements of port activity. Literature on port logistics has only developed over the last two decades or so, for exampleby UNCTAD through a series of monographs on port management and operations, or the World Bank’s‘Port Reform Tool Kit’describing recent trends in port management and suggesting a framework for port reform and development. UNCTAD defines ‘third generation’ports as those offering value-added services (e.g. warehousing, packaging) in addition to cargo handling, and ‘fourth generation’ports as those that are separated geographically but with common operators or administration, such as by global multi-port companies [42]. In an effort to assess the logistics potential of ports, Harding and Juhel distinguish between general logistics services (GLS) and value-added activities or logistics (VAL), with the latter being a common feature of containerised and general cargo. They highlight the increasing role of ports as ‘distriparks’or dedicated areas for both GLS and VAL. They also point out the future of inland logistics centres or dry ports (e.g. inland container depots) for logistics operations that do not need to be carried out in the seaport area.Much of the literature advocating the future of ports as logistics centres highlights their nodal role in the changing patterns of maritime and intermodal transport (e.g. hub and spoke systems), but overlooks logistics integration of the various activities performed within the port organization itself. Most published articles address separately different aspects of port management (cost-analysis, marketing, strategic planning, etc.) without incorporating them into an integrated logistics framework of customer service, total costs or trade-off analysis. For instance, the question of the total cost that a cargo bears throughout different port operations up to the final customer or user does not appear to have been discussed in the academic literature. The same applies to competitive benchmarking between the management of seaports and that of other entities with similar operational features, e.g. airports or regional distribution centres.For some, this fragmented approach is mainly due to the complex organizational structure and management of ports, although recent port privatization schemes may have made it relatively easier to apply an integrative logistics approach to port operations. Fleming and Baird consider that the lack of a ‘competitive community spirit’among different port actors (e.g. customs authorities) is largely behind the difficulty of managing activities from a logistics perspective. The complex organizational structure of ports has always been a central issue in most aspects of port management, and probably constitutes themajor obstacle to the development of a comprehensive conceptual framework of port logistics management.Supply chain management extends the principle of logistics integration to all companies in the supply chain through strategic partnerships and cooperation arrangements. Some regard the next challenge of supply chain management is to manage ‘pliant flows’so as to ensure that all parts of the chain ‘oscillate together’in an holistic fashion. In similar vein, others stress the need for ‘agile’supply chains in order to survive in a rapidly changing global environment. Paixao and Marlow advocate the application of ‘agility’to the port environment, proposing that ports should be proactive rather than reactive along supply chains in a modern globalized world economy.Review of relevant logistics and supply chain measurementsMany techniques of logistics measurement adopt ratio instruments of financial reporting and productive efficiency. For instance, logistics performance is assessed through productivity and utilization measurement, or by applying the DEA model to international channel productivity. Most of the available logistics measurements correspond to a firm’s internal functions and processes. For example, a report by the European Logistics Association arranges logistics performance measurements into eight groups, but does not organize them into an integrative and comprehensive framework. Measurement techniques that have gained recognition from logistics professionals include activity-based costing (ABC) and total cost analysis (TCA). The former proposes an evaluation of the costs of a firm’s activities based on the actual resources and time consumed to perform them, whereas the latter proposes a trade-off analysis among different internal functions to minimize the total cost, while at the same time maintaining customer satisfaction.The use of TCA is extended to external logistics performance by integrating various flows and processes in the supply chain.In the area of supply chain management, the academic literature has been less successful in providing valid tools for performance measurement, and most performance measurements have been initiated by practitioners or consultants rather than through academic research. Exceptions include Kaplan and Norton who combine several dimensions of performance measurement. They provide a linear cause-and-effect model claimed to serve both measurement and management objectives. The Supply-Chain Operations Reference(SCOR) initiative undertaken by the Supply-Chain Council (SCC) attempts to integrate process reengineering, benchmarking, and process measurements into a cross-functional framework. Holmberg’s model proposes a conceptual framework of performance analysis throughout a systems approach to supply chain measurement. Process benchmarking is a technique that proposes the collaboration of all members in the supply chain for the purpose of process comparison and performance analysis. Institutions at the trade channel level can play a valuable and neutral role in benchmarking. Any valid performance model, within a logistics and supply chain management context, should integrate different measures of internal activities and link them to measurement activities of other entities in the supply chain.Towards a logistics and supply chain approach for portsFrom the above discussion, it appears that there may be a methodological difficulty in linking supply chain performance measurements to ports. Traditional port management is often typified by institutional fragmentation and conflict with other members of the logistics channel, whereas the supply chain management philosophy advocates process integration and partnership. A systemic approach to port performance is required. The systems approach should allow a neutral and objective perception of a problem’s definition and investigation, and particularly helps in overcoming the obstacles of channel identification and conflicting standpoints. However, despite successive attempts to apply the systems approach to operational problems in shipping and ports, very few would claim to apply the concept of systems thinking to the whole port organization.MethodologyAction researchThe methodology adopted for this study works within the action research paradigm. Action research is a process suitable where change is the main research subject, and the researcher participates in the change process. It requires a close relationship and collaboration between practitioners and researchers, made possible in the research described in this paper when one of the authors undertook a short-term appointment with the World Bank. Action research is most suitable for technique development or theory building, but isless suitable for hypothesis testing. Its advantage over traditional survey approaches is that the latter tend to be past-oriented or ‘snapshots’, whereas action research is a forward-looking process with implications beyond the immediate project. Action research is undertaken by using an appropriate intervention technique analogous to experimentation. The technique used in this approach is to present port managers and other experts with a model of port performance for examination and assessment by them, leading to an improved model. This technique is supported by a questionnaire of port managers focusing on performance indicators.Exploratory investigation into feasibility of port performance model As an exploratory investigation, individuals with different types of expertise related to ports were approached to comment on the relevance and feasibility of the proposed model, shown in figure 3 with covering notes (see appendix). The participants consisted of three panels of experts, namely:Analysis and resultsQuestionnaire responses and analysisThe questionnaire investigated current techniques of port performance measurement. The 45 respondent ports confirmed the regular use of combined indicators for both internal and external performance evaluation. As shown in table 2, financial measures are the most commonly used, closely followed by throughput measures for internal performance, whereas productivity and economic-impact indicators become more prominent for external comparison with other ports.Most ports were not satisfied with the current indicators (see table 3).However, when asked about logistics techniques for performance measurement and management over half of the ports replied that they use them very seldom or never (see table 4).Although responses may reflect a lack of interest in logistics operations and management, an alternative explanation may be the difficulty in understanding or applying logistics concepts and measurement techniques.Comments by expert panels on model validityFigure 3 and the appendix present a model applying logistics and supply chainmanagement concepts to port performance measurement. The model was sent to and discussed with different participants to assess its validity and feasibility within the context of port operations and management. Responses varied in many aspects, although all considered the model valid as a ‘first initiative’that looks at port efficiency from the perspective of logistics and supply chain management. The following sections present and analyse the responses by each of the three expert panels.ConclusionsThe research aims at conceptualizing the port system from the perspective of logistics and supply chain management, and suggesting a valid framework of efficiency measurement capable of reflecting the logistics scope of port operations and complementing, if not replacing, the conventional methods for port performance measurement and management biased towards sea access. By adopting a structured approach and methodology and involving a range of interest groups, the authors tried to ensure a valid and reliable inquiry given the time and cost constraints.The results show a common interest in logistics and supply chain management concepts across the various panels of experts. Respondents from the port group showed a lack of familiarity with logistics and supply chain management concepts, especially those related to logistics integration, benchmarking and channel design, although there is common recognition of ports as key logistics and distribution centres.译文:用港口物流及供应链管理方法来评价港口绩效Khalid Bichou and Richard Gray摘要尽管港口作为物流中心潜在能力已被广泛的认同,但还没有一个被大家广泛接受的性能测量标准出现。

Open Journal of Applied Sciences, 2014, 76-84.原文Port Logistics in West and Central Africa:A Strategic Development under GlobalizationRegine;Nana;Aziz;RickABSTRACTThe main idea of this study is to provide help to West and Central Africa port logistics authorities in making, evaluating and realizing their decisions on port development/management, all in an effort to guaranty port efficiency and operational brilliance to profit the different ports, their hinterlands and their related clients. Consequently, an examination is made as far as port sector is concerned, with an ever more demanding enhancement in operational efficiency. Moreover, a past research on West and Central Africa Ports, as well as an overview on port logistics was made, making it possible to determine what has been done (prospects) and what is still to be done (ineffectiveness), in prospective of a more reformed and efficient port. One of the principles of this paper is also to confer all the aspects that operate as obstacles to the WCA port’s improvement and development; using thus the evaluation model called EWCA (Evaluation of West and Central Africa Ports), which gives a descriptive analysis of the present situation of the latter’s port logistics, including the aid of multiple regression model to determine an impact of explanatory variables on the study probability. Applying the method of strategic development, this paper thus deals with exploring typical problems and quandaries of West and Central Africa ports. The findings suggested how to fight back or overcome the constrictions and strangulations; enabling West and Central Africa port logistics attain their desired strategic development aims, despite the ineffectiveness. Tremendous efforts were made, giving a vital shoot on African economy and development; even though there isstill a lot to do, for the data and variables showed how the port logistics augment and descend frequently without a long period of stability.Keywords: Port Logistics; West & Central Africa; Multiple Regression Analysis; Strategy Development1 IntroductionIn general, African shipping has been largely deregulated. Therefore, many African countries are trapped in a vicious circle of high tariffs discouraging traffic and further increasing costs. Poor inland links (the lack of an integrated land distribution system, particularly for transit, impedes container traffic) and a wasteful and costly port administration/management accentuate this problematic situation. Several ports suffer from low capacity, particularly in terminal storage, maintenance and dredging capability. Moreover, many ports are poorly equipped and inefficiently operated. Container handling rates fall well below international norms. Port charges for both containers and general cargo are substantially higher than in other regions. Security standards are still extremely variable. Therefore, it is wise to build a coordinated network among WCA ports in particular, to serve as a vivid platform for cooperation, information sharing and exchange of practices/knowledge, with the same aim of improving/boosting and developing/managing their port logistics sectors.The Problematic Statement (Problems and Requirements)A tactical development is therefore needed which could likely have an impact on West and Central Africa’s economy as well as its foreign traders (Allies and Clients). This as a whole could boost the entire Afric an nation’s economy and eradicate poverty and unemployment raging most countries . Moreover, most West and Central African countries have been experiencing ramshackle in commodity stocks of some of their key export commodities (cocoa, coffee, rubber, oil etc.) from the entire region (UNCTAD 2010). Furthermore , the problem of long dwelling time (engendering cargo for the port on specified time) is another gigantic constraint, hindering the West and Central Africa ports’ development and has negative adverse effect on the Supply chain and logistic service in general . For these motives, this paper would like to findout the following three issues related to West and Central Africa ports’ development as far as port logistics and transportation in general is concerned.1) What is the impact of West and Central Africa port modernization under globalization to the development of their economy?2) Which port logistics disproportional factors are the most influential on West and Central Africa ports?3) Which among them are the most significant or critical and what is the effect of tackling these problems of the critical factors of port logistics?4) Does the elimination of these critical factors improve port logistics under the influence of globalization?2. Literature Review: A Synopsis of the Past Research in West and Central Africa (Strategic Development)The ports in West and Central Africa long-term strategic development can be defined as those ports that can “open the new world, open the gate to the future” with unparalleled locations as the gateway to the entire Africa boost (port website), these ports do not only serve landlocked countries around their neighborhood, but also the coastal countries of other parts of Africa (north, East, south) and the Global economy in general.The mission (which is the strength) of the ports of West and Central Africa can be determined as: We assist carriers to deliver their cargo to the place of destination. This elaborates the four operational functions associated with the port, which are: ship operation, transfer operation, storage operation and gate operation.To maintain the continuous growth and development, maximum short-term and long-term decision-making are required for the survival of the business.Once a strategy is set-up and adopted, still, an effective and efficient management is still required for its implementation because, a more generally accepted strategy does not necessary mean a successful one. To know if such a strategy is indeed the correct and best strategy, the following characteristics can be observed.1) It’s been base on precise, accurate and reliable data with clear real-time benefits.2) The strategy should guarantee little/negligible uncertainty.3) It’s available and suitable for application under dif ferent conditions, and unforeseen circumstances should have a rescue and a backup measure.4) There should be a Possibility of implementing the strategy within the resources available to the organization.5) Profitability is guaranteed (through good hinterland connection for the ports).6) Competitiveness: looking into the companies weaknesses and making them the company’s strength (in other words, building on the company’s strength); as well as converting threats into opportunities .7) Forecasting the future and being dynamic enough to adapt to the change in management (Peter Drucker).3. Methodology: The Evaluation of West and Central Africa Ports (EWCA)There are a number of types of evaluation, varying in form, the data they yield, and the situation to which they can be effectively applied. The various approaches in common use can be categorized as either empirical or statistical. The latter involves collecting and analyzing numerical data from which predictions are drawn and usually involve measuring a representative sample of the entire target group. Whereas, an empirical approach requires the collection of data derived from experience, observations and experiments. Well in this case, we will be enacting an evaluation model on West and Central Africa ports. As said before, West and Central Africa port are drenched in undisputable port logistics ineffectiveness and inequities, despite the several attempts to boost their ports abilities. To effectuate this analysis, multiple regression model is stipulated to excel the evaluation of WCA port logistics. This paper’s questions form the basis for the selection of tools for data analysis.1) Which port logistic disproportional factors are the most influential on West and Central Africa ports?2) Which among them is most significant or critical?3) What is the effect of tackling these problems of the critical factors of port logistics?4) Does the elimination of these critical factors improve port logistics under the influence of globalization?3.1. An Introduction of Multiple Regression Evaluation ModelTo answer the general questions of WCA port logistics, we are required firstly to apply the multiple regression model. The multiple regression techniques helped in performing correlation analysis of the relationship between the WCA port logistic determinants and the WCA port logistic values. In other words, the different technique looked at the WCA port logistic causative factors at a disaggregate level. Multiple Regression technique believes that there are critical causative factors that determine WCA port logistics under the influence of globalization.译文非洲中西部的港口物流:一个全球化背景下的战略性发展雷吉娜;娜娜;阿齐兹;里克摘要本研究的主旨是为非洲西部和中部的港口物流部门提供帮助,帮助他们制定、评估和实现他们关于港口物流发展和管理的决定。
