The characteristics of loading and unloading system mainly include the following aspects:
Balance and volatility: Loading and unloading is an activity in the production process, and its frequency is higher than other logistics activities. Each loading and unloading activity takes a long time, so it often becomes the key to determine the speed of logistics.
Stability and variability: Loading and unloading is a necessary activity generated by activities such as transportation and storage. It organically links different activities in the same link in the logistics process, so that the items are in a continuous state of motion in various links and various activities.
Locality and sociality: Loading and unloading is an important part of the production process and has become a guarantee system for direct production. The formation of a loading and unloading system has an important impact on logistics efficiency and technical and economic effects.
Connectivity: Loading and unloading is the key to the organic connection and close connection between various logistics functions, and often becomes the bottleneck of the entire logistics system.
Support and guarantee: Loading and unloading has a certain degree of determination for other logistics activities. Effective loading and unloading support is the key to achieving high-level logistics operations.
Complication and start-end: Loading and unloading are activities that must occur at the beginning and end of each logistics activity, and they have the characteristics of accompaniment and start-end.
Complexity and scalability: The loading and unloading process involves multiple objects and complex operations, and has the characteristics of complexity and scalability.
