Abstract

Recently, in order to stay at predominance in the global infinity competition, most of companies have been reducing the cost in many fields of industry. First of all, the reduction of the logistics cost have been recognized greatly as the company value rises. A rate of logistics cost out of GDP is still high compared with the competitors. The reduction of the transportation cost from overall logistics cost is most urgent subject. One of the methods to make a domestic transportation system efficient is the consolidation. In this paper, we try to compare the consolidated transportation model for a cost reduction with individual case. We also analyze the efficiency of consol idated transportation using simulation program with Arena of Rockwell Automation.
