Third party logistics freight forwarding company is not, nor is it a simple courier company, deeply extending its business to the customer's sales planning, inventory management, order planning, production planning and so the whole production process, so beyond the normal trading with customers relations, forming a long-term strategic cooperative partnership. 3) to modern information technology. Information technology is the third-party logistics necessary for the survival and development. It includes the rapid exchange of EDI technology, capital EFT fast delivery technology, barcode technology and online transactions such as e -commerce technology. Modern information technology to achieve rapid transfer of data to improve the automation of business processes and integration of all aspects of the operation, enabling customers to complete the original in-house logistics activities to third-party logistics companies to separate comple ted. 4, Fourth Fourth (Fourth party logistics) is a supply chain integrator, is a leader in both supply and demand and third-party power. It is not the logistics of the interests of the parties, but by owning information technology, integration capabilities and other resources to provide a complete supply chain solutions in order to obtain certain profit. It is to help enterprises reduce costs and achieve effective integration of resources, and rely on good third-party logistics providers, technology providers, management consulting and other value -added service providers to provide customers with unique and extensive supply chain solutions. Fourth basic features: 1) Fourth able to provide a set of comprehensive supply chain solutions, is the integrated management consulting and integration of third party logistics service provider. 2) Fourth is the impact on the ability of the supply chain to increase the value in continuing to provide customers with updated and optimized technology solutions at the same time, to meet customer specific needs. 3) a forth logistic companies need to have certain conditions, such as the ability to develop supply chain strategy, design, business process reengineering, with technology integration and human resource management capacity; such as the integrated supply chain technology and outsourcing capabilities in a leading position and professio nals with a relatively strong; such as the ability to manage multiple different vendors and have good management and organizational skills. 5, distribution logistics Sales Logistics (Distribution logistics) refers to the production enterprises, distribution enterprises selling goods, the go ods in the supply -side and demand -side flow between the entities. 6, production logistics Production Logistics (Production logistics) is in the production process, from raw material procurement to the products, semi-finished products such as the processing of the Road, the production process, finished goods into the warehouse until the whole process of logistics activities. Synchronize production logistics and production processes, from raw material purchasing through to production of finished products until the whole process of sending the logistics activities. Raw materials, semi-finished products at various processing points accordance with the process without a break between the movement, transfer, formed a production logistics. It is to create products unique to the activities of manufacturing enterprises,

and if interrupted production, production logistics along with it broken. After the development of production and logistics manual mechanized Logistics Automated Intelligent Integrated Logistics 7, recycling logistics Logistics of five stages.

Recycling Logistics (Returned logistics) is for the production, supply and sales process for a variety of corners more than expected, waste, handling of damaged goods logistics activities occur. Processing of recyclable materials would be a waste of resources if improperly or pollution. 8, the waste stream Waste stream (Waste material logistics) refers to economic activities, lose their use value of the items, according to the ac tual needs of the collection, sorting, processing, packaging, handling, storage and treatment locations were sent to specialized items formed physical flows. It is only from the perspective of environmental protection, regardless of target objects have no value or use value, and to properly handle, so as not to cause environmental pollution. 9, Green Logistics Green Logistics (Environmental logistics) is the inhibition of logistics in the logistics process, while damage to the environment, to achieve the purification of the logistics environment, so that logistics resources can be most fully and rationally utilized. At this stage, due to environmental issues become more prominent and close relationship with the environment, in dealing with logistics and logistics community must take into account environmental issues. Especially in the acquisition of raw materials and product distribution, transport as the main logistics activities, the environment may produce a series of impact, and how reasonable recovery of waste materials, reduce environmental pollution or the greatest possible re-use is also a logistics management content need to be considered. 10, integrated logistics Integrated Logistics (Integrated logistics) is between the different functions or different enterprises through the cooperati n of logistics activities, to improve logistics efficiency and o reduce logistics costs effect. It consists of three forms: vertical integration of logistics, the level of integrated logistics, integrated logistics networ . k 11, customized logistics Custom Logistics (Customized logistics) is based on the user's specific requirements and logistics services designed model.

Virtual logistics can make these small enterprises to a large logistics activities into the logistics system to achieve in large-scale logistics to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Virtual logistics elements include: 1) the virtual logistics organization it can make the logistics activities to adapt to a more competitive and profitable; 2) Virtual Logistics : reserves: it can focus on reserves, schedule reserves to reduce costs; 3) virtual logistics Distribution: It can make the needs of suppliers through the nearest point of the product, and the use of remote control of transport resources to achieve delivery. 4) virtual logistics services: a virtual services it can provide lower fixed costs. 14, regional Logistics Regional logistics support area is fully established the overall goal of sustainable development to adapt to regional environmental characteristics, provide regional logistics functions, to meet regional economic, political, natural, military and other development needs, with reasonable spatial structure and scale of services to achieve effective organization and management system of logistics activities.
