Abstract

This paper focuses the viability of green logistics based on Shipment Consolidation (SCL) policy in automotive industry. Within this context, the SCL policy is a logistics strategy whereby many small shipments are combined into a few larger loads. This research involves a case study of an actual automotive assembly line. The spotlight is on the inbound and outbound logistics in an attempt to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on the environment. Based on the data collected from the assembly line a System Dynamics (SD) simulation model was created. The inbound logistics shipment policy is based on both time and quantity based model. And the outbound logistics is time based model shipment policy. The results of the SD model have shown that difficulty in the use of SCL based decisions on inventory due to the complexity and fragmented nature of automotive inventory. However; the model results indicated reduced vehicle emissions when transporting inventory. Therefore, reducing environmental implications caused by CO2 emissions.

汽车装配线入站物流的环境影响评价:系统动力学方法

本文主要研究了汽车行业绿色物流的可行性。在这种情况下，SCL政策是一种物流策略，其中许多小货物被合并成几个较大的负载。本研究涉及一个实际的汽车装配线的案例研究。人们关注的焦点是进出境物流，试图减少对环境的二氧化碳(CO2)排放。根据装配线采集的数据，建立了系统动力学仿真模型。进站物流运输策略是基于时间和数量的模型。而出站物流是基于时间的模式出货政策。SD模型的结果表明，由于汽车库存的复杂性和碎片性，使用基于SCL的库存决策存在困难。然而;模型结果表明，在运输库存时，车辆排放减少。因此，减少二氧化碳排放对环境的影响。
