The concept of transportation 2021-06-20 12:09:38 The National Standard of the People’s Republic of China 'Logistics Terminology' defines transportation as: 'Special transportation equipment transports items from one place to another. Including collection, distribution, A series of operations such as handling, transferring, loading, unloading, and dispersing.' In the logistics system, transportation occupies a core position. In the process of logistics management, transportation mainly provides two major functions: item movement and short-term storage. As an integral part of the logistics system, transportation includes transportation in the production field and transportation in the circulation field. Transportation in the production area is generally carried out within the production enterprise, so it is called intra-plant transportation. In-factory transportation includes the transportation of raw materials, products in progress, semi-finished products and finished products. It directly serves the production of goods, sometimes called material handling; transportation in the circulation field is an important link in the circulation field. Within a certain range, Moving goods directly from the place of production to the place of consumption also includes the movement of goods from the place of production to the logistics network and from the logistics network to the place of consumption. In order to distinguish between transportation in the production field and transportation in the circulation field, as well as long-distance and short-distance transportation, Guangzhou to Deyang Logistics refers to the transportation in the production field as 'handling' in the logistics transportation. The terminal transportation is called 'distribution'. The emergence of mechanical transportation has had a greater impact on economic development and social progress. The historical development process of transportation mechanization is roughly divided into four stages: water transportation stage, railway transportation stage, road, aviation, and pipeline transportation stage, and integrated transportation stage. 1597
