Logistics processing is a special form of logistics. The so-called logistics processing refers to the general term for simple operations such as packaging, segmentation, measurement, sorting, trademarking, labeling, and assembly that need to be performed during the process of items from the place of production to the place of use.

There is no significant difference between logistics processing and general production processing in terms of processing methods, processing organization, and production management. However, there are large differences in processing objects and processing levels. The main differences are:

The object of logistics processing is the commodities entering the logistics process, which have the attributes of commodities and are considered as one link in the multi-link processing. The objects of logistics processing are commodities, while the objects of production and processing are raw materials, parts, semi-finished products, etc.

The level of logistics processing is mostly simple processing such as packaging, sorting, segmentation, and measurement, rather than complex processing. Generally speaking, it takes complex processing to form the goods that people need, and logistics processing is only an auxiliary and supplement to production and processing. It is particularly pointed out that logistics processing is by no means the cancellation and replacement of production and processing.

　　From the perspective of values in logistics, the value of production and processing lies in creating the value and use value of goods, while circulation processing lies in improving the use value of goods and increasing their value without making major changes. Therefore, logistics processing increases the value of goods for enterprises.

The organizer of logistics processing is the staff of the logistics company, who can closely combine the needs of logistics to carry out this kind of processing. From the perspective of processing units, logistics processing is completed by commercial or logistics companies; while production processing is completed by production enterprises.

Commodity production is production for exchange or consumption, and logistics processing is reprocessing for consumption. In this regard, the two have something in common. However, logistics processing sometimes aims at its own transportation and purely creates conditions for transportation. There is a difference in purpose between this kind of processing for transportation and the processing performed directly for consumers. This is another difference between logistics processing and Production and processing are different from ordinary production in special ways.
