Shipping Route Optimization And Process Improvement For F Company’s Export Containers

Economics globalization make the requirement of enterprise logistics control growing witheach passing day, also make the research of logistics plan to a new level. For F company, becausethe marine export cargo quantity from Shanghai to Southeast Asia, South Asia and Oceania islarge, furthermore, the port of destination is different, how to reasonably arrange the sequence ofmarine route and determine the hub port for container distribution, is the important realitysignificance of cost and time control which F company faced on.Through the analysis of F company’s current operation mode and data, we obtain theproblem which company faced on. That is, how to reduce logistics cost through decrease marineexport batch and decrease sailing time at the same time, how to join internal warehouse andoutside warehouse and put an end to the difference between shipment notice and actual cargo. Inthe light of these problems, we get the marine export pattern of container export from Shanghaito hurb port, then distribute to the destination, on the basis of this, we choose the optimizemarine route to achieve the target of cost and time control. We also improve positive operationprocess from internal warehouse to outside warehouse and shipment process, and establishreverse operation process from outside warehouse to internal warehouse, to strengtheninformation sharing and communicate in time in every department, to reduce error ratesubstantially, and to improve arrival accuracy rate.Through the data comparison of new scheme’s testing operation and old operation, weobtain the optimization effect of new scheme both in theory and fact, thus, we sure the researchand scheme is effective.
