Data-Driven Design and Optimization for Smart Logistics Parks: Towards the Sustainable Development of the Steel Industry

The design of steel logistics parks acts as fundamental infrastructure supporting the operations of storage, allocation, and distribution of steel products in the steel logistics industry, which actually lags behind the development of other logistics industries, such as e-commerce logistics, due to its large lot bulk storage, low turnover rate, and costly transportation and operations. This research proposes a data-driven approach for a specific steel logistics park, aiming to improve its operational efficiency in terms of product layout and allocation in multiple yards. The entry and delivery order data are analyzed comprehensively so as to determine the products with high operational frequency and the corresponding relevancy among them. Experimental results show that, among the 69 steel specifications, 14 high-frequency products are identified, and the correlation among the 14 identified high-frequency products possesses evident distribution characteristics concerning their brands and specifications. The identified frequency and correlation among various products can not only facilitate the product layout and allocation in steel logistics parks, but also advance the vehicle scheduling efficiency for product pick-up and delivery. Moreover, the research methodology and framework can provide managerial insights for other industries with mass data processing requirements.

Significance of Bonded Logistics Parks in China, Enabling Indian Retail Industry for Effective Logistics

Multiple handling and resting of materials at different points in the flow of Supply Chain has come into the limelight in the recent time due to severe cost pressure for the reduction and savings of Logistics costs. The ease of material movement is been on a large focus in-order to achieve cost savings and to have a win-win situation for both the Suppliers and the Customers. With the effect of globalization, the foreign Suppliers are exporting goods to the consignee country by paying customs duty and in-turn the consignee on the receiving end pays import customs duty for the consumption of the goods and on top of it pays an additional storage and handling charges for the Warehousing and Distribution activity in the consignee country. This makes the logistics costs to go up. To tackle this challenge and complexity in the Logistics system, major economies are introducing FTZ - Free Trade Zones or Logistics Parks in major cities. These Free Trade Zones are backed up the concern country’s government and customs authorities. With lot of initiatives coming from the government side but still there is a huge demand gap for these Free Trade Zones or Logistics Parks and many of them are underutilized or rather unoccupied. Still many of the Consumers are relying upon traditional CFA – Custom Freight Agents or other warehouses for getting this service done. But they are missing a big picture of Logistics Cost Savings, Transit time reduction in transferring the goods and the major advantage in tax rebates. At this backdrop, this paper address the major advantage of using the Bonded Logistics Park, developed and promoted by the People’s Republic of China by analyzing the data of an Indian customer who is sourcing more than 70% from China.

Regional multimodal logistics network design considering demand uncertainty and CO2 emission reduction target: A system-optimization approach

This paper investigates an interesting regional multimodal logistics network design problem with CO2 emission reduction target and uncertain demands in the context of urban cluster development. From the perspective of system optimization, a regional logistics network involves a centralized logistics authority and a centralized carrier, where the logistics authority concerns the regional logistics network configuration in terms of the number, location and scale of logistics parks and the subsidies of rail transportation links, and the carrier’s decisions include the choice of transportation route for each logistics demand. Given a determined logistics demand pattern, this multi-stakeholder decision making problem is first formulated as a bi-level programming model followed by its equivalent mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) to depict the leader-follower behaviors. To capture the risk aversion level of the logistics authority in uncertain demand environment, an improved adjustable robust optimization method is proposed, including an individual control parameter and providing an exact expression of the maximum satisfaction probability. Computational results and related impact analysis demonstrate that the proposed models and solution methods are effective, which can provide the beneficial theory basis and practice guide for the green and sustainable development of regional logistics.
