A multi-product two-stage production distribution network design problem (PDND) is considered in this paper. The network consists of capacitated plants, capacitated distribution centers and customers. The known demand for multiple products at the customers is satisfied by shipping via distribution centers, and each customer demand is supplied via a single distribution center. A relatively efficient...
A multi-camera system is widely used for determining the poses of large objects in practice. This paper thus makes contributions to applying multi-camera systems with high accuracy and efficiency to industries, such as automotive and logistics. Some valuable approaches - pattern weight, zero measurement, pattern compensation and camera pose on-line recalibration, to solve the practical issues are...
The international Financial Crisis has made the Less-than-truckload industry face with severe challenges of survival and development. In this case, more and more small and medium-sized LTL carriers choose to collaborate as the potential savings are large, often in the range 5-15%. A key question is how profits/savings should be distributed among the participants. Since every LTL carriers are guided...
In this paper, the need for automated transportation systems for hospitals is investigated. Among other alternatives, mobile robots stand out as the most prominent means of automation of transportation tasks in hospitals. Existing transportation routines of a hospital are analyzed in order to verify the need for automation and identify possible areas of improvement. The analysis shows that most of...
According to the research of the theories, concepts and methodology of Web and DSS, this paper presents a new design method of DSS based on XML technology. The paper describes the developing process of the DSS of logistics distributing center based on XML. The problems have been solved that how data is transferred and exchanged between the DSS of logistics distributing center, logistics ERP and users...
In the view of cluster supply chain, the relationship between flexibility and logistics capacity was studied by empirical analysis. Information sharing was introduced as a mediator variable. By using statistical methods of factor and regression analysis combined with the SPSS13.0 statistical software, we found the results as follows: the three dimensions of cluster supply chain flexibility (adaptation...
Ports are the important nodes in the logistics and important factors in the regional economic development. The effect of port on Liaoning province is talked about in this paper. With the model of vector auto regression (VAR), the effect of port development on the GDP and FDI of Liaoning province are researched. The difference between Dalian port and Yingkou port affect on the economy is also referred...
The effective reduction of the logistics cost of urban logistics system is the basic factor for its sustainable development. And the comprehensive evaluation for the logistics cost is the premise of its realization. The data envelopment analysis model is introduced to evaluate the logistics cost based on the input-output matrix and to provide an approach of evaluating the degree of logistics cost...
This paper builds an optimal logistics node layout model with considering the land constraints and scale economy of freight based on the analysis of connotation of logistics node layout and does computational analysis to the model by SGA and numerical example simulation in Matlab, the analysis of the example shows that the algorithm can search to the global optimal solution of the problem quickly...
Seeking best logistics centre location (LCL) is a challenge problem and affected by many factors, such as the natural and business environment, the candidate infrastructure, as well as the surrounding conditions. These factors, taken as evaluation indicator to select the satisfying alternative, consist of many quantitative indicators and qualitative indicators; so the LCL belongs to the fuzzy semi-structured...
A novel and saving energy logistics handling equipment - rare earth lifting permanent magnet was designed, which can completely overcome the disadvantages found from lifting electromagnet. The working principle and neural network model of magnetic circuit design were developed. At the same time, a perfect self-acting driving system was invented, which guarantees that the attracted ferromagnetic cargo...
The building logistics cost forecasting is a complicated nonlinear problem, due to the factors that influence building logistics cost are anfratuous, so it was difficult to describe it by traditional methods. Radial basic probabilistic neural network (RBPNN) is one of the neural networks used widely and it has the ability of strong function approach and fast convergence, in this paper, a modeling...
The paper begins with analyzing informationization demand of logistics business enterprise of warehouse, puts forward structure model of the network warehouse information platform which is based on the technology of RFID, and puts forward business process, data process of model application and the solutions of systematic data management. The model offers automation information platform for logistics...
The logistics cost optimization of manufacturing enterprises is a significant link for reducing the total cost. This paper analyzes several major logistic cost attributes of the production flow in such kind enterprise, checks all the alternative operating programs in harmoniousness test and nonharmoniousness test, and identifies their level in superior relation. And it figures out the average sequence...
Recently dual mode trailers (DMT) are significantly considered as novel technique for future transportation systems. These are aimed for particularly reducing complicated job process in the railroad based transportation and relevant logistic cost in economic viewpoint. In this paper we survey technical trend of DMT systems in domestic industry. We provide several DMT systems addressed until now and...
The real-time pickup and delivery problem with time windows (RTPDPTW), typically found in logistic company, is a problem of finding a set of optimal routes for a fleet of vehicles with fixed capacity in order to serve all the static and dynamic customers. Each customer is defined by a pickup point and a delivery point and a load. In this paper, the dynamic model of RTPDPTW is given firstly, and then...
