Oct 09, 2022
Loading, unloading and handling activities involve large workloads, complex methods, unbalanced operations, and high safety requirements. But it is an indispensable link in logistics activities, which is of great significance to the development of logistics and the increase of benefits.
Loading, unloading and handling play a linking role in logistics activities. Loading, unloading and handling operations must be carried out in each link of the logistics and between different links in the same link. It is the loading and unloading activities that connect the various stages of the logistics and make it a continuous flow process. In the logistics of production enterprises, loading and unloading becomes the link between each production process. It is a continuous operation process from the preparation of loading and unloading of raw materials and equipment to the loading and unloading of products.
Loading and unloading plays an important role in logistics costs. In logistics activities, loading and unloading activities occur continuously and repeatedly, and its frequency is higher than other logistics activities. Moreover, each loading and unloading activity takes a long time, so it often becomes the key to determine the logistics speed. Loading and unloading activities consume a lot of human activities, so the proportion of loading and unloading costs in logistics costs is also high.
