Abstract

Fresh products have a large loss in the process of cross-regional logistics. In this study, the cross-regional fresh cold chain logistics network was analyzed using GO-FLOW analysis method. First, the basic principle of GO-FLOW analysis method was introduced. Then, taking the cold chain logistics network of mangosteen as an example, the GO-FLOW diagram was established, the signal strength was calculated, and the logistics network was improved according to the analysis results. The results showed that the reliability of the logistics network was 0.842, among which the reliability loss in precooling, long-distance transportation and sales was the largest. After improving the logistics network according to the three links, the reliability of the logistics network rose to 0.958, increased by 5.53%, among which the long-distance transportation link increased by 9.03%. The analysis results verifies the feasibility of GO-FLOW analysis method in logistics network analysis and make some contributions to improve the efficiency of physical network and ensure food safety.

Highlights

  • When fresh products are preserved at room temperature, their nutritional value will be greatly reduced, and they are prone to deterioration, which will affect their sales value, and damage the health of consumers after market circulation

  • The logistics network was improved according to the results shown in Table 2 to improve the precooling reliability to 0.98, shorten the long-distance transportation time to 2d, and shorten the sales time to 2d

  • It was found from the results of signal strength comparison that the improvement of precooling, long-distance transportation and sales was correct, which could effectively improve the reliability of the logistics network

Summary

Introduction

When fresh products are preserved at room temperature, their nutritional value will be greatly reduced, and they are prone to deterioration, which will affect their sales value, and damage the health of consumers after market circulation. Zhang et al [5] studied the quality changes of fresh cut parsley at different positions in the refrigerator car and found that the shelf life of parsley at the upper part of the refrigerator car was 6 days and the shelf life of parsley. The logistics network and making reasonable adjustment to realize the logistics network to the maximum extent
