Features: With the continuous development of the market economy and the constant improvement of social technological levels, logistics distribution centers, which originated in the mid-to-late 20th century, have become increasingly mature in the new century. The mainland of China has become a major arena for fierce competition among foreign-invested, domestic, and Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan-based distribution centers, while also posing numerous challenges for the operation and management of various distribution centers. This internationally-oriented, locally-relevant, and practically-focused professional textbook on the management of distribution centers aims to provide systematic guidance and inspiration for vocational college and university students as well as logistics distribution practitioners who are passionate about learning and researching logistics knowledge. It serves as both a textbook and a reference book, offering comprehensive benefits to its readers. Since modern logistics distribution centers originated from the advanced field of Western enterprise management, the concept of "Westernizing what is foreign" has given China's emerging logistics distribution enterprises a practical and refined set of wings for growth. This book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the fundamental systems and practical content of modern logistics distribution center operation management to a broad readership. Additionally, to align with the characteristics of vocational college and university textbooks, the book incorporates numerous charts and case studies for illustration, along with descriptive texts such as chapter learning objectives, content summaries, key terms, and concepts before and after each chapter.
