On Traditional Material Flow and Modern Material Flow

摘要

Correct understanding of the inherent attributes and the non-inherent attributes of material flow (MF) may clarify some problems puzzling the understanding of MF currently. The difference between traditional MF and modern MF lies in the difference of the non-inherent attributes MF in MF service, management, technology and economy. Our country is just in a period of co-existence of traditional MF and modern MF and gradual transition to modern MF, so we should try to eliminate the erroneous thinking on traditional MF and modern MF.
