dc.description.abstract | In recent years companies and academic organizations have focused on
outbound operations due to their being the customer-oriented part of the
business whereas the control of the inbound operations was generally left to the
suppliers. But now outbound operations have become streamlined and
extracting additional benefits has become more and more difficult. Taking
greater control of inbound logistics is becoming a top priority for many
manufacturers and retailers. Turning attention to inbound logistics will not only
reduce costs, but also a generate more collaborative relationship with internal
organizations, suppliers and logistic providers, which will ultimately result in a
more effective business process from which all parties will benefit.
In our study, we tried to exploit a solution in which Schenker, as a logistic
provider, would be actively involved so that inbound logistic performance can
be more effective and efficient which would benefit all participants in the value
chain. We started by investigating the unique features of the inbound logistic
system with a comparison of the outbound, and this was then followed by a
description of the current inbound logistic operation systems, from both an
information flow and material flow perspective. We found that all inbound
operations can be categorized into that of traditional demand to supply model to
that of the VMI model.
In approaching overall supply chain efficiency, a model hypothesis was
therefore created as a future oriented solutions. Parameters were also defined to
evaluate the performance of inbound logistics. Finally, with the assistance of
the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model, a case study of Volvo
car inbound logistic operations has been made to illustrate the merits of our
hypothesis and its improved results. | swe |
