物流管理会计与物流企业降低成本的基本途径

Logistics Management Accounting and Basic Cost-cutting Approaches for Logistics Enterprises

物流成本研究的目的是以一定的物流成本实现最高的物流服务水平。物流成本是企业参与市场竞争的重要战略资源。从物流成本的现状看主要症结在于对物流成本的构成认识不清,以及对物流成本的计算和控制分散,缺乏相对权威的行业数据。现有会计核算体系与物流成本管理的现实之间存在着技术冲突,客观上需要有一种新的会计方法能够为企业决策机构提供详尽的物流信息、明确物流责任、考核物流业绩、控制物流成本,这就是物流管理会计。为此,确立了物流管理会计为主导,以探讨寻求物流企业降低成本的基本途径,来实现物流活动的最优化和企业效益的最大化。

The goal of logistics cost study is to achieve the highest service level at certain logistics cost. Logistics cost is an important resource for enterprises to participate in the market competition, but the present study of it has such major problems as unclear knowledge of the logistics cost components, incomplete calculation of and slack control on the cost, and a lack of authoritative data in the industry. The technical conflict between the existing financial accounting system and the operation of logistics cost management requires a new accounting method that can provide detailed logistics information for the decision-makers of enterprises, clarify logistics responsibilities, assess logistics performanees and control logistics costs. That method is called logistics management accounting. Therefore, the paper establishes logistics management accounting as dominant methodology and points out some basic ap- proaches to lower logistics cost so as to optimize logistics activities and maximize the benefits of logistics enterprises.
