Features: This book is compiled according to the requirements of the logistics management professional examination syllabus for higher education self-study. It introduces common logistics equipment in logistics systems, such as lifting, transportation, and handling equipment, as well as automated warehouses, which have attracted widespread attention in recent years. This book is not a product manual; the purpose of introducing these logistics facilities and equipment is to serve the learning of logistics management knowledge. Therefore, it also introduces methods for designing logistics systems and discusses the ideas and approaches for designing logistics systems. Although the design methods introduced are relatively simplistic, they still provide some help for self-studying students in the logistics management major. Due to the extensive use of automated equipment in modern logistics systems, these systems are becoming increasingly complex. Currently, people are beginning to utilize logistics simulation technology to assist in system design. From this perspective, the book also introduces the basic principles of logistics simulation technology and how to perform simple simulations using Excel on a computer, with examples demonstrated. It is highly suitable for self-study. Through studying this book, self-studying students can gain a basic understanding of logistics equipment, logistics system design, and logistics system simulation, laying a solid professional foundation for future logistics management work.
