Logistics transportation, loading and unloading, and handling are a crucial link in the logistics process. The correct application of logistics transportation and handling principles can effectively reduce the consumption of manpower and materials, and improve the efficiency of logistics transportation. Below, the editor will explain in detail the principles of logistics transportation and handling.

Principles of effective operation

The most effective aspect of logistics transportation operations is to carry out effective operations and avoid unnecessary loading, unloading, and handling. This not only does not have the corresponding effect, but also can backfire and cause unnecessary trouble. In logistics operations, loading, unloading, and handling must be carried out effectively.

Cntralized operation principle

The principle of centralized operation includes the concentration of handling sites and the concentration of work objects. The former requires dispersing the small amount of work into the work site under conditions, and then centralizing it appropriately to facilitate the configuration and use of loading and unloading equipment, improve the level of mechanized operations, rationalize the organization of work processes, and improve the efficiency of operations; The latter integrates scattered and scattered goods into a relatively large container unit to improve the efficiency of operations.

Simplify the process principle

The process of simplifying loading, unloading, and handling operations mainly includes two aspects: firstly, to achieve the continuity of the operation process in time and space as much as possible; The second is to try to improve the level of live load for the placement of goods. Because logistics transportation activities themselves are a relatively complex process, simplifying logistics transportation, loading, unloading, and handling can not only improve the efficiency of logistics transportation, but also increase the revenue of logistics transportation companies.

Principles of safe operation

There are many unsafe factors in the process of loading and unloading operations, so we must ensure the safety of the operation. The safety of the operation includes the personal safety of the staff and the safety of the equipment used for loading and unloading, in order to minimize the occurrence of accidents.

Adopt suitable loading and unloading tools and methods for logistics transportation loading and unloading, and new employees must have experienced old employees supervise and teach during logistics transportation loading and unloading, in order to ensure the smooth and safe operation of logistics transportation loading and unloading.

System optimization principles

The starting point of organizing loading and unloading operations is to achieve rationalization of loading and unloading, and the goal of rationalization is to optimize the overall system, fully utilize the functions of various elements in the system, and evaluate the loading and unloading system as a whole from aspects such as operation quality, efficiency, safety, and cost.

For example, when carrying out logistics transportation, loading, unloading, and handling, it is necessary to pay attention to placing the labels of the goods in a prominent position. This is to ensure that personnel carrying out logistics transportation, loading, unloading, and handling have a certain understanding of the goods, pay attention to the labels of the goods, and the nature of the goods, in order to ensure the safe and efficient operation of logistics transportation activities.

Precautions for cargo loading and unloading

Precautions for cargo loading and unloading: Control from the perspective of labels

In logistics, there are various types of goods involved in various aspects of life, such as chemical raw materials, clothing, food, precious products, fragile and flammable materials. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the characteristics of the goods solely based on their appearance, so that they are not aware of their unloading requirements. In this case, the originating station should use a dedicated label to guide the loading personnel at the arriving station to unload the goods.

Although many goods have already been classified as "follow me" and "handle with care, do not press" when leaving the factory, their classification is not detailed enough. More special labels should be added, such as liquid labels, upward labels, barrel labels, vertical labels, etc., so that these labels can intuitively reflect the characteristics of the goods and loading requirements. At the same time, training should be provided to the loading and unloading personnel at the departure and arrival stations to enable them to understand the meaning of the labels.

Notice 2 for cargo loading and unloading: Frequent sharing of experience

For cargo damage caused by improper operation in the past, it should be an example to prevent the same error from occurring in the future. During training, the reasons for each cargo damage should be analyzed to employees, so that they can understand what to pay attention to when encountering the same cargo next time.

Notice 3 for cargo loading and unloading: Choose experienced old employees to lead new employees in loading and unloading together

Each company's goods have a certain regularity. Although there are various types of goods, most of them are relatively fixed. Old employees have been in contact with these goods for a long time and know better how to load and unload them. Led by these more experienced old employees, new employees can play a good exemplary role.

Reasonable application of these principles can greatly reduce the consumption of human and material resources, achieving efficient and high-quality work.
