Abstract

Since the transportation cost takes two thirds of the logistics cost of Korean firms, significant reduction of business logistics cost can hardly be achieved without effective reduction of the transportation cost. Although consolidated transportation has been regarded as the most promising strategy for reducing the transportation cost, it has not been successful in practice. In this paper, we propose a consolidated transportation model for firms located in industrial complexes, present a heuristic algorithm to operate the system, and analyze the expected cost reduction.
