Research On Transportation Optimization Of YingDe Gas Group

With the rise of China’s industrial gas industry,industrial gas companies have developed rapidly.At the same time,competition in transportation efficiency and transportation costs among industrial gas companies has become extremely fierce.Ten years ago,the transportation cost of industrial gas products accounted for about a quarter of the product price,and now the transportation cost of industrial gas companies in China has dropped to only one fifth of the product price.Transportation costs have dropped significantly by 20%,which forced the logistics department of industrial gas companies to urgently reduce transportation costs.Many industrial gas companies faced losses due to the high transportation costs of the enterprise logistics department.Chinese industrial gas companies are struggling to survive under the dual background of high industry competition pressure and the downturn of the domestic economy.It is imminent that the logistics department of industrial gas companies improve transportation efficiency and reduce transportation costs.The existing transportation mode of Yingde Gas Group’s logistics operation department is designed based on the early factory concentration and customer concentration mode.With the development of 10 years,Yingde Gas Group’s business has expanded to 21 cities in 10 provinces and cities nationwide.The model becomes a model with factories all over the country and customers scattered across the country.Use fishbone diagram analysis to find out the cause of problems in current transportation management.(1)There are three important reasons for the low efficiency of short-distance own vehicles: the long distance between vehicles,the low utilization rate of vehicles at night,and the lack of conversion mechanism of liquid argon vehicles during low season;(2)Lack of industry transportation cooperation;(3)Poor transportation safety management;(4)Inadequate supply chain connections that affect transportation efficiency;(5)The existing transportation management information system has a low operating efficiency.The underlying cause of existence.After analyzing historical KPI data and in-depth analysis of the current status of Yingde Gas Group’s transportation management,find out the cause of the problem.For each cause,a set of transportation plan optimization strategies that conform to the transportation characteristics of Yingde Gas Group was formulated.The transportation plan optimization strategies include(1)short-distance ownvehicle transportation efficiency optimization strategies.This strategy mainly includes short-distance own-vehicle delivery frequency optimization strategies;24-hour delivery strategies;flexible conversion strategies for delivery products.(2)Industry transportation cooperation optimization strategy.(3)Optimization strategies for transportation safety management.(4)By re-planning the production process and adopting the postponed manufacturing method with customer demand as the center,the products and capacities of the national factories are uniformly allocated,all products and capacities of the country are operated in a unified and coordinated manner,and the efficiency of the supply chain is optimized.(5)Optimize the transportation management information system(TMS)module to realize the timely transmission of the transportation management system data to the production and sales departments,increase the visual management,strengthen the management and control of transit vehicles and customer stations,and optimize the transportation management information system to improve Transportation efficiency.By summarizing and analyzing the implementation of Yingde Gas Group’s transportation plan optimization strategy,the transportation efficiency after optimization has been significantly improved by 20% compared with that before optimization.The company’s leadership agreed that the optimization of transportation schemes is an effective way to improve the transportation efficiency of Yingde Gas Group.Finally,Yingde Gas Group will fully deepen the transportation plan optimization strategy in the logistics department.The transportation plan optimization strategy improves the transportation efficiency of Yingde Gas Group,reduces the transportation cost of Yingde Gas Group,and improves the transportation management level of Yingde Gas Group.Product costs have found a solution.At the same time,it provides a reference for the optimization of transportation schemes of other industrial gas companies.
