Research On Application Of Products Distribution For CSC Petrochemical Corporation

Logistics for Petrochemical is a special mode of transportation, there is strict requirementfor carrier, it requires the logistics companies to have certain qualifications, invested a lot onstaffing, training and transportation equipments, and also have certain vehicles retain volume.Because all those conditions directly decides the response speed for customer delivery and theservice quality. CSC petrochemical company has applied the third party logistics mode fordelivering polyolefin products to customers since2006. Be a carrier for CSC petrochemicalcompany, it should have enough professional operation persons and with correspondingequipments. To promptly response to customer demand for distribution, CSC requires thecarriers to keep a high level volume of vehicles. But for the carriers, they always need tocontrol the quantity of vehicles and drivers in a certain range to reduce the idle waste ofresources, since the logistics cost is high.Due to the particularity of petrochemical products as well as the requirements ofpetrochemical logistics for road transport vehicles, and on the basis of analyzing the factorsinfluencing the distribution vehicles holding quantity, the thesis raise a concept andcalculation method for the reasonable distribution vehicle retain quantity if third partylogistics company, which may serve to a new round of tender for CSC petrochemicalcompany in2014and to provide scientific decision basis. The thesis bases on the historicaldata of polyolefin product of CSC petrochemical company for demand forecasting, and thechange analysis on future demand of polyolefin product. Base the model to calculate themonthly demand, and to calculate the monthly distribution vehicle demand in the future. Alsoconsider the condition that third party logistics companies can make use of outsourcingresources for some distribution, finally to obtain the lowest total cost while the third partylogistics company has the best vehicle retain quantity.Based on the established mathematical model, some problems will have some necessaryidealized processing, for example, if various customers concentrated in one distribution area,and distribution distance and the driving speed in a certain value, etc., the processing of thesecontent not only simplifies the model, and provides a convenient for all kinds of datacollection, and easy to data calculation. It actually matches the case between idealizedprocessing and practical situation. In addition, according to the research method, the dataproduced in2013can be taken as a historical data to study the demands of CSC petrochemicalcompany in the future, to facilitate yearly contractor performance appraisal and to adjust thebase claim to vehicles retain quantity. That will be a tremendous improvement for CSC petrochemical company to manage the logistic contractors, at the same time to promote theCSC polyolefin products customer’s satisfaction, and also has a positive value in improvementthe overall efficiency of CSC petrochemical company.
