Abstract
AbstractThe multi-temperature joint distribution (MTJD) system based on storage-type cold-chain logistics is a contemporary distribution mode. To analyze the economics and social benefits of MTJD and overcome the disadvantages of single-temperature storage type of traditional cold-chain logistics, this paper builds a comprehensive cost model by taking into account the fixed costs, procurement costs, inventory costs, cargo damage costs, transportation costs, and energy costs, to name a few. Through comparative analysis, it is found that MTJD not only reduces purchasing cost, but also decreases delivery times, increases vehicle loading and unloading efficiency, and shortens delivery time. Meanwhile, it realizes energy savings, reduction in fuel consumption, and decrease in various costs such as those incurred in distribution, order processing and inventory, storage, and cargo damage in addition to the significant low-carbon economy.
