Logistic Cost

Logistics cost is an important contributor to the overall cost in a supply chain system. By using collapsible containers, the frequency of return freight can be reduced and the return of containers can be optimized, leading to potential logistic cost savings. However, the dynamic behavior of container flows due to demand, inventory, storage, and repair requirements make it difficult to accurately analyze container system performance. An accurate estimation of this collapsible container usage impact is of great importance for decision-making. This paper describes the development of a mathematical model of the container dynamic flow system by using the collapsible containers. A continuous time, discrete space Markov process is used for stochastic scenario. The model determines the total cost savings, based on the collapsible rate, the number of collapsible containers, the performance of the factory and the supplier and the transportation environment. The presented mathematical formulation enables the evaluation of the system performance. A case study of collapsible container supply chain system demonstrates the advantages of this methodology. In addition, a simulation model of this stochastic system is presented to verify the mathematical model. Simulation tests are conducted to demonstrate the potential logistics cost savings in the closed-loop supply chain system.

At present, as an emerging service industry customer service and the third profit source of enhancing the competitiveness of the enterprise market, the logistics industry gets the attention of more and more enterprises. In the enterprise total cost, reasonable decomposition and calculating the logistics cost, seriously affect the profits of the enterprise. Therefore, how to make enterprise logistics cost accounting becomes the focus concern of enterprises to improve market competitiveness. This topic comes from the basic theory of homework cost method, the enterprise logistics cost accounting based on homework cost method are analyzed. This paper expounds the homework cost method based the thinking of enterprise logistics cost accounting, by the process of resource to homework cost object cost allocation, and the activity-based cost method of enterprise logistics cost accounting methods are analyzed on focus.

Consumer Dissatisfaction

Purpose Increased competition and access to information are forcing companies to provide quality to their products and services, aligned with a growing society pressure for less harmful environmental practices. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the adoption of reverse logistics (RL) may contribute to the generation of competitive advantage and improved quality in a part substitution process of a household appliance company. Design/methodology/approach This paper carried out a single case study in a household appliance company. The study collected data through semi-structured interviews in addition to document analysis and observation. Findings The implemented practices enhanced service maintenance and customer services and provided a more effective monitoring of defective parts. Moreover, such practices reduced unnecessary part substitutions, consumer dissatisfaction and undesired disposal in the environment. RL in the studied company has offered a potential contribution to the company quality strategies by providing more part returns, assuring cost savings, and reducing time to solve field problems. Research limitations/implications The study was limited to a single case study. Thus, the study findings are not subject to generalization for other similar organizations. Originality/value This paper is one of the few studies on RL in a household company in the context of an emerging economy. Such feature denotes in a singular scenario in RL investigations about recovering defective parts.

Truck Transportation

The bulk chemical industry primarily relies upon truck transportation. Truck transportation, although costly, has a high percentage of on-time deliveries. Cheaper alternative transportation modes are less preferred due to a lack of supply chain information. Traditionally, the lack of information about in-transit products leads to higher safety stock and inventory levels, which results in higher costs. Process mapping and activity-based cost analysis are used to identify cost drivers and highlight the areas of opportunity for improving bulk chemical supply chain management. The activity-based cost information was used to develop a logistics cost model specifically tailored to the bulk chemical industry. The activity-based logistics cost model was used to assess potential cost savings from integrating centralized supply chain management software (visibility solutions), into the bulk chemical supply chain. The results of our analysis support integrating visibility solution software into multi-modal transportation to improve bulk chemical supply chain management. Integration of visibility solutions enables suppliers to improve their ability to monitor and control their inventory throughout the supply chain, increase overall asset utilization, and reduce global supply chain costs.

Logistics Capabilities

This research is aimed to determine the relation of customer orientation, customer opportunism, resource commitment, contractual agreements, and reverse logistic capabilities as well as the relation of reverse logistic capabilities and reverse logistics cost savings. A statistical analysis method focused on testing hypotheses, path analysis, is used as the method of this research. Samples taken in this research involve both small and medium business enterprises (SMEs) in the areas of retail, manufacturing, handicrafts, and drug sellers (drug stores and pharmacies) located in Surabaya, Malang, Singaraja, and Denpasar. Those respondents, moreover, are directly involved in reverse logistics process as well as interacting with suppliers. The results of this research then show that there is a positive relation between customer orientation and reverse logistic capabilities. It is also known that there is a negative relation between customer opportunism and reverse logistic capabilities although the relation is less significant. Furthermore, there is also a positive relation between resource commitment and reverse logistic capabilities. There is also a positive relation between contractual agreements and reverse logistic capabilities although it is not significant. And, it is also shown that there is a positive relation between reverse logistic capabilities and cost savings. Thus, it may be concluded that all five hypotheses proposed in this research have indeed been proven empirically although there are a few variables showing less significant relations, which means that these variables less affect or impact on reverse logistic capabilities and ultimately on cost savings.
