Abstract:

Steel processing and distribution centers in China have been constructed by iron and steel enterprises, by warehousing enterprises, by steel circulation enterprises, or by end users. These centers connect steel mills with end users, which’s logistics service level affects the competitive advantages of steel supply-chain. So their common characters, problems and development tendency are analyzed in this paper. Based on this analysis, three service modes with cases are proposed, such as integrated logistics service mode, comprehensive logistics service mode, integrated value chain logistics service mode. Which one mode has been adopted, these centers should take some measures to improve service level and reduce costs. Four measures are put forward for these centers, respectively mastering the dynamic market situation, designing market oriented service mechanism, optimizing the supply chain, re-engineering business process.
