Logistics Standardization in China: A Focus on Pallet Standardization

In recent years, Logistics plays a vital role in supply chain in China. With the extensive interaction with the international economy, it is urgent to enhance the logistics capability. In the logistics, for the important role throughout the process, more and more emphasis has been put on pallet. Pallet through-transit can make the logistics process seamless, which can greatly improve the logistic efficiency. But tough questions facing China is that pallet could not be effectively using, which make the cost very high. This paper thus examines the current situation of the logistics environment in China. Specifically, analyzes the situation of China’s pallet standardization process, and summarizes its main existing problems by analyzing the data of pallet applications in China. Through the analysis of Chinese enterprises in the pallet pool system application case, point out using a pallet pool system enables to obtain supply chain efficiency by improving handing processes and reducing storage costs. Therefore, this paper proposes the adoption of a policy to promote the pallet standardization of China. In the end, the paper makes a conclusion that the standardization of logistics is a system project which needs the common efforts of the country, enterprises and trades association.
