Main contents:

 Understand the objectives of International Logistics System

 Understand the elements of International Logistics System

2.1.1 Definition of IL System

 international logistics system is much more comprehensive, complex and integrated. 复杂

 including materials required to be transported, handling and packing appliances, transportation of equipment, storage facilities, related personnel and linkages, etc.. 环节多

2.1.2 Objectives of IL System

  Objectives (5Ss): 

1) Service: should be fulfilled without stock-out, cargo damage or lost and at a lower cost. 服务

2) Speed: the delivery should be rapid and timely at desired time and place. 速度

3) Space saving: make full use of storage space by using stereo facilities and equipment. 节省空间

4) Scale optimization: applying scale economy to cut down logistical costs. (e.g. consolidation, break-bulk) 规模经济

5) stock: setting appropriate level of inventory in order to fulfill the orders at minimum inventory investment. 库存

others

 Besides, it should select best transportation modes and routes in right quality and quantity, at lowest risks and costs 其他

5s总结：

1）优质服务：即无缺货、无损坏和丢失现象，且费用较低；

2）迅速及时：即按用户指定的时间和地点迅速送达；

3）节约空间：即发展立体设施和有关的物流机械以充分利用空间和面积；

4）规模适当：在物流领域内利用规模经济来降低物流成本，如现代仓储中集装和拆散作业的应用大大降低了运输和仓储费用等。

5）合理库存：即制定合理的库存策略，合理控制库存量。

 在上述5S目标的基础上，国际物流还要为国际贸易和跨国经营服务，选择最佳的方式与路径，以最低的费用和最小的风险，保质、保量、适时地将货物从某国的供方运到另一国的需方。

2.1.3 Structure and Mode of IL System

The structure of international logistics system: components or subsystems that constitute the system. 

 It is a multi-structured complicated system contains stable and dynamic structures and includes time and space structures. 多层次

 It is an integrated system with time and space sequence. 综合性

 All the links are stereo subsystems and are made up of physical elements… 立体化系统

 these sub-systems are combined into an integrated system in an orderly manner. 有秩序

国际物流系统的结构：

 国际物流系统的结构是指构成国际物流系统的要素或子系统相互联系的方式。国际物流系统是一个既有静态也有动态结构、既有时间也有空间结构的多重结构复杂系统。

 它是由多个立体型的子系统连接而成的具有时空序列的总系统。运输、包装、装卸搬运、储存报关、流通加工、配送、检验检疫与通关等环节都是由组织者、货物、载体，路线和信息等实体要素结合而成的具有特定功能的立体子系统。

 这些立体型的子系统又按照不同的具体需要连接成先后有序的总系统。
