Optimization of parts logistics network in East China based on multiple delivery methods

This paper mainly discusses the optimisation strategy of FAW Logistics in parts logistics network management. For the pickup programme of parts logistics, it combines multimodal transport and third-party logistics. For orders from different suppliers, diversified pickup methods are adopted, mainly including direct delivery, circular pickup, and transshipment through distribution centres. For orders with large volumes, direct trucking is used to reduce transit and improve efficiency. For orders from suppliers in Hubei Province, circular pickup is used. For large-volume orders, large transport vehicles are chosen to be used directly to reduce costs and transport time. Most orders from Wenzhou and Taizhou are transshipped through Zhejiang or Shanghai distribution centres. By optimising the scheme, a 24.84% reduction in cost was achieved for the same order cycle, significantly improving logistics efficiency and economy. This study not only has practical guidance significance for the enhancement and change of FAW Logistics' development strategy, but also promotes the company's sustainable development.
