國(guó)外首個(gè)關(guān)于物流產(chǎn)業(yè)的界定（英文）
Logistics Industry
Includes packaging companies, suppliers to the industry, transportation brokers, rail, consultants, steam ships, air, ocean vessels, small package shipment, site management, fulfillment companies, warehouses, ports, motor carriers, contract companies, intermodal companies, packaging companies
Logistics industry revenue totals 800 billion dollars annually. Of that total, 600 billion is transportation, 100 billion is warehousing, and 100 billion is industry related services (profit sharing, information technology, etc.)
Industry Background
A 70 s standard dictionary defined it as, "The branch of military science concerned with procurement, equipment, maintenance and transportation, as of personnel, facilities and materiel." Yet another in the IWLA Library, same vintage, adds, "evacuation and hospitalization" to the definition, but the essence is still the same.
Contrast this to the definition in a recent study: "Logistics is that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption, in order to meet the customers requirements."
A bit broader and certainly not limited to the military? Absolutely, and the definition no doubt will continue to evolve as the breadth of services logistics providers offer does.
Still others focus on relationships between manufacturers or marketers and their logistics suppliers. The impact of two vital trends in the new economy is also factored in. These are a general trend toward outsourcing and the previously unprecedented growth spurred by e-commerce. Finally, the importance of the partnership aspect of the manufacturer/marketer-logistics provider relationship cannot be overstated.
Perhaps a simple, contemporary definition of logistics can be the management of inventory in motion or at rest (motion during transportation, at rest awaiting production into finished goods or in distribution at the final point of sale).
One thing is certain: no matter how broadly or specifically we choose to define logistics, it accounts for 9.9% of the total U.S. GNP ($921 billion) in 1999. It is growing dramatically in terms not just of services provided and outsourced but in terms of volume. For example, the 3PL (third-party logistics provider, the element most closely served by IWLA) accounts for over $40 billion and is estimated to be growing by 15-20% per year. Its benefits include:
Reduced need for personnel
Reduced transportation and distribution cost
Improved customer service
Improved cycle time
Freed-up capital in manufacturers & marketers non-core areas
We hope this primer will add to your understanding and appreciation of the remainder of our website and of the mission of IWLA.

Logistics ?A Dynamic Industry
Definition: Logistics is the process of strategically managing the movement and storage of material or products and related information from any point in the manufacturing process through consumer fulfillment.
Global Marketplace: In 1998, the global marketplace for logistics was $3.8 trillion U.S. dollars, or approximately 3.8 times the size of the U.S. domestic market
Logistics Market: It is estimated that by the end of the year 2000, total logistics expenditures will reach $1 trillion. $100 billion of this amount will be outsourced to third-party logistics providers.
Components of the Domestic Supply Chain Costs: Of the total estimated $1 trillion dollars in logistics expenditures, the breakdown is as follows:
Warehousing: 8% ($80 billion)
Logistics Administration 4% ($40 billion)
Transportation 58% ($580 billion)
Other Inventory Carrying Costs 30% ($300 billion)
Growth of the Third-party Logistics Industry: Gross revenues for the third-party industry were at $6 billion U.S. dollars in 1991. It is estimated that gross revenues will reach $69 billion by the year 2001.
