An Analysis on the Reduction Effect of Freight Volume by Supply Chain Redesign for the Alliance of Distributors: A Simulation Using System Dynamics

유통업체간 제휴를 위한 공급체인 재설계에 의한 물동량 감소효과 분석: 시스템다이내믹스를 이용한 시뮬레이션

This study shows the reduction effect of freight volume by the supply chain redesign for the alliance of distributors with system dynamics simulation. The as-is model is composed of 3 independent companies which one has 3 distribution centers (DCS) and 24 agents, another has 1 dc and 9 agents, the other has 3 DCS and 15 agents each. The to-be model is an integrated logistics model and composed of 1 company having 5 areal DCS and 38 agents. Each agent in the same area is integrated with each other. Two models have same demands but very different result. As a result, the freight volume between DCS and agents is reduced by 33.55%. This case study will be useful to analyze the similar cases about the logistics integration by supply chain redesign.
