Logistics is one of the most important parts of automotive manufacturing,compared with other industries,logistics planning and management of the automotive industry is considered as the most challenging.With the increasing competition in the automotive manufacturing industry,the logistics level has also become an important factor influencing the overall competitiveness of enterprises.In the environment of supply chain management,the logistics optimum solution can not be made from the separated logistics function.Especially in the automotive industry,the auto plant company as the leader of the supply chain,it should take all of the factors into consinder,to make sure that the supply chain operation with the best logistics solution.This paper takes the inbound logistics of auto plant A Bodyshop as the research object.With the modern logistics science in the supply chain management,this paper uses the scientific methods such as ECRS analysis method,Fishbone diagram,logistics trade off,to explore the inbound logistics cost optimization of auto plant A.Section one mainly introduces the domestic and international research on the inbound logistics design and cost control of the automotive factory,which provides the theoretical basis for the subsequent problem analysis.Section two makes a detailed introduction of the auto plant A Bodyshop,both inbound and inhouse logistics.The third part firstly analyzes the inbound logistics cost influence factors,and the cost structure of A Bodyshop inbound logistics,in the end of section three we get the main problems for A Bodyshop inbound logistics.In section four,recreate the new inbound logistics solution with five optimaztion meatures,such optimization supply method,new inventory model and empty container return model.The last section,through a before-and-after comparison of the logstics resources,the inbound logistics optimization measures for A Bodyshop are proved available.This paper analyzes the cost structure and mainly influencing factors of auto plant A Bodyshop inbound logistics from the perspective of the auto plant logistics operation.Based on the logistics management theory under the supply chain management,the paper proposes the specific optimization solutions for auto plant A Bodyshop inbound logistics,in order to reduce the logistics cost,strengthen the competition advantage of auto plant A,and provide reference of the inbound logistics management for other automotive factories. |
