关于“物流”与“物流工程”中几个基本概念的探讨

Discussion on Several Basic Concepts of "Logistics" and "Logistics Engineering"

通过对“物流工程”中几个基本概念的探讨,提出“物流”的概念应该按照我国国家标准(GB／T18354-2001)阐述的内容确定;我国高校“物流工程”学科专业的建设和“物流工程”规划设计的内容等,也都应该以GB／T18354-2001规定的内容为依据．而美国多次对“Distribution Management”理论、“Logistics Management”理论以及2005年对“Supply Chain Management”理论的论述．都是美国分别在其商品经济管理理论的4个发展阶段中,对商品经济适时的管理理论的基本内容,它们及时反映了当时美国商品经济的发展水平和管理理论的深度、广度、原则及方向,宏观调控和具体指导了当时美国商品经济的发展,都不是“物流”或“物流工程”的定义．其中“Physical Distribution”,事实上已经被翻译成了“物料的分销”或“物料的配送”,而“Logistics”按其内涵,则应被翻译成“物流服务”或“后勤保障”,“物流”和“物流工程”的英语名称．则建议分别为“Object-flows”和“Object-flows engineering”或“Goods flow”和“Goods flow engineering”．

Through the discussion on some basic concepts of ＂logistics engineering＂, this article mentions that the concept of ＂logistics＂ should be defined according to what our national standard （GB/T18354-2001） is explained. In addition, the disciplinary development of ＂logistics engineering＂ major of our university and the design of ＂logistics engineering＂ should also be based on the standard GB/T18354-2001. America has demonstrated the theory of ＂distribution management＂, ＂logistics management＂ and ＂supply chain management＂ many times, but they are only the basic contents of commodity economy management theories from the four development stages of US commodity economy management. They reflect the development level of US commodity economy and its depth, width, principle and direction of management. They directed the development of American commodity economy at that time, but they are not the definition of ＂logistics＂ or ＂logistics engineering＂. As a matter of fact, ＂physical distribution＂ has been translated into ＂物料的分销＂ or ＂物料的配送＂ in Chinese. ＂Logistics＂ should be translated into ＂物流服务＂ or ＂后勤保障＂ according to its connation. We suggest that we use ＂object-flows＂ and ＂object-flows engineering＂ or ＂goods flow＂ and ＂goods flow engineering＂as the English name of ＂物流＂ and ＂物流工程＂.
