Firstly the Olympic Logistics Center will supply Five Services to the Olympic Logistics. Firstly, The Olympic Logistics Center will supply storage service; the Olympic Logistics Center is the storage base of the numerous materials.
Secondly, the Olympic Logistics Center is the place to execute the security examination to the Olympic material. Li Yanling said, the big difference between the ordinary material and the Olympic material is that security required by the Olympic material is very high, all the material must be received security checking before entering into the filed and gym.
Thirdly, the Logistics Center is the workout and operation center of all material and cars, and dispatching center as well. “Lot s of freight cars will be put into use in the game-time, such as dispatching cars, F&B service cars, waste-removal cars and EMS cars. If all the cars drive into the venues at same time, it not only shall create traffic jam, but also take a great pressure to the logistics of the venues.

The Olympic Logistics Service is a complicated work
Li Yanling said; the current logistics work was facing much pressure due to its complexity. First, the customer group divers, all these customer group need the logistics service and all are the service object of the logistics service. “ Each competition representative delegation, the officers of International Olympic Committee, medias, sponsors, missionaries of the Olympic Organizing Committee and audiences etc are our serving object.
Secondly, the operation object diver. For example, some logistics company operates the first class material, some handle the food transportation, and some just handle the transportation for sport instruments. “ Olympic material are various, all the distribution required our handling bring a great difficulty to our work.”
In additional, the service sites are various. One hand, the quantity there are a lot of venues, on the other hand, the venues are various. There are more than hundred of competition, training and non-competition gymnasiums and stadiums for Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. “ There are two kinds of competition gymnasiums and stadiums: one includes training venues, one excludes training venue; the training is divided into separate and binding venues; there are 15 non-competition gymnasiums and stadiums, a Logistics Center, a Digital Building, a international broad casting center and a Olympic Village etc. The business characteristic and logistics operation mode diverse, though all they are call non-competition gymnasiums and stadiums, the operation we need to prepare for are numerous.
The Olympic Games logistics is totally different from the common logistics, which cannot be remedied.
Li Yanlin said, the Olympic Games Logistics is totally different from the common business logistics, which is also called competition –time logistics and is one kind of the project logistics viewed in the aspect of logistics industry, therefore it is totally different from the common logistics. The feature of the project logistics is “long term planning and short term investing”, however, the common logistics reverses.
In addition, he Olympic Games Logistics only happens at one time without the possibility of being remedied and without sustainable characteristics alike the common logistics. “We can deliver the goods delayed yesterday commonly. But for the Olympic Logistics, it is impossible especially for those of key and important material, if it is delayed, the loss occurred shall be beyond the remedy.”
Viewing in the scope, the scope of all the existing common logistics of Beijing at present is not as large as the Olympic Logistics, and the security demand of the Olympic Logistics is much higher than the common one. |
