Analysis Of Operation Mode And Cost Of Inbound Logistics Of Automobile Parts On Milk-Run

The inbound logistics of automobile parts is considered the most complex part of logistics system, because it involves a lot of quantities, varieties and suppliers of automobile parts. For the automobile manufacturing enterprises, the cost of inbound logistics of automobile parts can be reduced, It Means that the total cost of the whole automobile industry chain can be effectively reduced. Therefore, the application and costing calculation of the advanced operation mode of inbound logistics are given a great deal of attention by the domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers, It hopes to achieve the goal of "less input, multiple output" and profit maximization. Especially, in recent years, With the appearance and application of inbound logistics supply mode on Milk run, which has the characteristic about multi-frequency, small volume and window time, and turn JIT production of pull of the car manufacturer's into a reality, so that the efficiency of inbound logistics of the automobile parts reach an unprecedented increase, and realize reduction of the logistics cost about true sense, and the competitiveness of automobile manufacturers in the market was improved.Research on theory and practical application of operation mode of inbound logistics of Milk run started and risen in foreign, and achieved great success. But, research on theory of its in Domestic are still in the primary stage, there has some success stories in the application (Shanghai GM, Shanghai Volkswagen), relatively small. Especially, Some research is still very rare, for example, the category of operation mode of Milk Run, Operating cost analysis of Milk Run and etc..Therefore, Based on the analysis of four more popular modes of inbound logistics on the current of the automobile parts in this paper, and give a detailed, systematic exposition about Theoretical source of Milk Run, Principle and operation processes of Milk Run, Advantages and characteristic of Milk Run. Then, the operation processes of different operation mode of Milk Run was explained,and to compare. Finally, The principle and concept of activity-based costing was illustrated, based on the the constitution system of Milk Run logistics capability, the structure and calculation procedures of activity cost of Milk Run operation mode was researched, the activity cost drivers, the advantages of activity-based costing of application and the necessity to introduce the activity-based costing to logistics cost calculation were analyzed; Activity-Based Costing calculation model of Milk Run was presented, the model was used to analyze the cost occurrence Situation of inbound logistics activities of Milk Run parts of G automobile manufacturers.
