Research Of Simulation Model On Rational Configuration Of Vehicle

With the development of economy,the third party logistics has been widely accepted,and is playing more and more important role.Competition between the logistics enterprises is becoming extremely intensive.Improving the logistics service quality and reducing distribution costs are the goal of every logistics enterprises. Vehicle is an essential factor of logistics distribution,and reasonable vehicle configurations have a direct impact to logistics costs and service levels.In recent years with the serious reduction in oil and rapid increases in fuel prices,idle vehicle or low utilization will both increase the cost.And the rise of E-commerce,the personalized demands of customers also put forward more requirements on logistics distribution. Personalized delivery service also requires companies providing more vehicles to meet customer needs quickly and accurately.This thesis uses the simulation techniques to study the simulation model on rational configuration of vehicle,through simulation modeling to take decision support for logistics.At first,this thesis researched the problem of vehicle configuration in logistics enterprises,with the relevant knowledge of logistics distribution and system simulation. It made clear the role of vehicle configuration in logistics distribution and provided theoretical basis of simulation.Secondly,this thesis established an index evaluation system of vehicle configuration.Modeling analysis the vehicle configuration,analyzing the key problems during the distribution process,the events of models needed to be simulated and the variables.Established the simulation model using Flexsim platform.Finally,taking a distribution which needs to complete fast moving consumer goods as background,simulated the vehicle configuration model.Made the multi-objective decision using the index system and AHP.Drawing the reasonable conclusion which can improve the service quality,met the demands of customers and reduce the distribution costs to improve the competitiveness and provide decision support for the problem of enterprise vehicle distribution.
