装卸搬运在物流管理环节中的作用研究

物流活动离不开装卸搬运,它贯穿于不同的物流阶段,因此装卸搬运是物流系统中重要的子系统之一。由于装卸搬运的伴生性和起讫性特点,导致它们经常被忽视,而只被看作是其他活动过程的一部分,没有像运输、储存等物流环节一样受到足够的重视。通过分析装卸搬运的特点,进而阐述装卸搬运在物流管理中的作用和意义。

港口物流管理本科人才培养模式探讨

港口物流管理本科人才培养必须在对港口物流内涵与行业需求深入研究的基础上,科学确定人才知识与能力结构,构建理想的课程体系,选择合适的培养路径,并做好教师队伍、实验室、实践培训基地、教材与课程、培养监控管理制度等相关的基础建设工作。     

面向产品生命周期的物流营销组合策略

通过分析市场营销与物流营销的关系,认为物流营销是通过物流活动来达到扩大市场、促进销售的策略,是市场营销的组成部分,也是需求链最具活力的环节;市场营销是物流的前提,而物流又是实现营销活动的保证。只有把物流与营销结合成一个共同的竞争战略,物流营销才能够成为一个有效的系统。不同产品生命周期阶段的物流营销活动和营销策略不同,于是从产品生命周期的角度探讨物流营销活动,提出相应的物流营销组合策略,及物流营销过程的应用。

基于服务驱动假说的消费者自提包裹选择意愿研究

基于淘宝网买家样本,分析了上门投递服务缺陷、上门投递感知风险与消费者自提意愿的关系,试图在新的认知环境下重新检验服务驱动假说。研究表明,上门投递服务缺陷一方面对消费者自提意愿产生了直接的促进作用,另一方面也通过上门投递感知风险的中介效应施加了间接作用;自提感知价值既在上门投递服务缺陷与消费者自提意愿间发挥了调节作用,又对上门投递感知风险的中介作用产生了调节。根据研究结论,可推测当前阶段下服务驱动假说具有一定合理性,相关企业应当明确自提点服务定位,并且需要调整营销推广思路。     

A pro-active and collaborative approach to reverse logistics—a case study

Reverse logistics is considered to be the key for re-manufacturing and sustainable development. It has gained increasing attention in the last decade and has been a new frontier of strategic management. One of the driving forces for firms to adopt the reverse logistics practice is cost saving from reverse logistics activities. Another motivation to put reverse logistics forward is probably due to environmental impacts on non-returnable materials. Reverse logistics, however, may require cooperation of more than one company and hence it is generally poorly managed due to self-interest of different companies. Therefore, a pro-active and collaborative approach to reverse logistics is demanded. This paper reports a case study of using returnable packaging materials between a manufacturer and an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplier. A cross-company team was established to pursue the goal of the reverse logistics project. Tangible and intangible benefits of reverse logistics from this case study are presented in this paper.     

Reverse logistics drivers: empirical evidence from a case study in an emerging economy

Academic and corporate interest in reverse logistics (RL) has risen considerably in recent years. In this context, the objective of this study was to identify the drivers that enable RL practice in an emerging economy. Firstly, international peer-reviewed publications on RL were used to develop a RL environment framework representing the main RL internal and external influences. Secondly, a case-based research was conducted in a large manufacturing company located in Southern Brazil. The results indicated that the most cited driver in the RL literature, the government and legislation, was not a main influence on the studied company. Environmental legislation is still limited in the country and struggles to provide incentives to increase materials recycling. An economic factor related to materials value recovery was also found to drive the backward flow. Finally, knowledge of the RL driving forces may support industries to better implement and manage reverse flows and to bridge the gap between existing and future solutions for reverse supply chains.     

零部件循环取货越库物流系统关键因子研究——仿真实验设计与分析方法

汽车和物流产业是国家重点扶持的两大振兴产业． 在众多汽车制造企业产能扩大的背景下,以零部件平均物流时间(cycle time,CT) 为绩效评价指标,深入研究了基于第三方物流的零部件循环取货越库物流模式( 简称 3PL－MRCD) 的优化设计问题． 建立了符合企业实际运作的离散系统随机仿真模型,即零部件循环取货与越库内部运作的集成模型． 与现有供应链仿真模型相比,由于存在较多的仿真因子,提出首先运用序贯分支法( sequential bifurcation, SB) 筛选 3PL－MRCD 系统关键因子,再应用响应面法(response surface methodology,RSM) 找到关键因子最优运作水平的方法步骤( SB－RSM) ,解决了大型仿真系统的优化设计问题． 基于调研的数据进行仿真实验,结果表明 SB－RSM 可准确找出影响CT的关键因子最优取值, 该值使CT达到较为理想的水平． 对大型仿真系统的优化而言,SB － RSM 比传统 RSM 更具实 验效率与效力,SB－RSM 为产能扩大3PL 物流决策的制定提供了可靠的解决方案,具有良好的应用价值．     

An Advanced Heuristic for Multiple‐Option Spare Parts Procurement after End‐of‐Production

After‐sales service is a major source of profit for many original equipment manufacturers in industries with durable products. Successful engagement in after‐sales service improves customer loyalty and allows for competitive differentiation through superior service like an extended service period during which customers are guaranteed to be provided with service parts. Inventory management during this period is challenging due to the substantial uncertainty concerning demand over a long time horizon. The traditional mechanism of spare parts acquisition is to place a large final order at the end of regular production of the parent product, causing major holding costs and a high level of obsolescence risk. With an increasing length of the service period, more flexibility is needed and can be provided by adding options like extra production and remanufacturing. However, coordinating all three options yields a complicated stochastic dynamic decision problem. For that problem type, we show that a quite simple decision rule with order‐up‐to levels for extra production and remanufacturing is very effective. We propose a heuristic procedure for parameter determination which accounts for the main stochastic and dynamic interactions in decision making, but still consists of relatively simple calculations that can be applied to practical problem sizes. A numerical study reveals that the heuristic performs extremely well under a wide range of conditions, and therefore can be strongly recommended as a decision support tool for the multi‐option spare parts procurement problem. A comparison with decision rules adapted from practice demonstrates that our approach offers an opportunity for major cost reductions.
