The Integrated Inventory And Transportation Study Of Cigarette Packaging Printing Enterprise Based On Supply Chain Optimization

In the current tide of economic globalization, domestic enterprises are facing increasingly fierce market competition. Stage of competition from China extends to foreign countries. Companies and their supply chains are both facing this kind of competition. High efficiency, low cost companies and their supply chain operation is a strong guarantee to win this competition.Some large tobacco companies abroad have put SCM into practice since 1990s and achieved great Success.Philip Morris,2Ls the world'S leading tobacco company, has a complex supply chain with more than 6000 suppliers and contractors.On the basis of"All-win in cooperation",they work hard together so as to improve the efficiency and satisfy the customers'needs better.As a result of its comprehensive operation mode,it manages to obtain the market all over the world.SCM has now become the key advantage of Chinese tobacco companies as the combination of the whole tobacco industry.After she entered WTO,China accelerated its step of internationalization.In this way, Chinese tobacco companies face more competition,not only from home but also from abroad.Additionally,the price of the raw materials fluctuate a lot.In consequence,it seems particularly significant to build a high-efficiency supply chain characterized by less intermediate procedures and close cooperation with the partners up and down as to improving the competitive power.As a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai Tobacco Group, Shanghai tobacco package printing company has an advantage of geographical environment and human resources. With the establishment of the first national tobacco packets production base, the company will face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The company's existing logistics model has been unable to meet the needs of the future development on the storage and transport. Consequently,products cannot be delivered on time,which has a bad effect on the enterprise image.An overall research has been done on the logistics transportation system in order to solve the problems mentioned above.An integrated inventory and transportation model has been built with the object of optimizing the logistics net as well as minimizing the total operation cost in the supply-chain system.For the above,an integrated inventory and transportation model is set up after the layout of finished goods depots is optimized.Some calculations have been done by means of the model,using the data of Shanghai tobacco package printing company.
