The goal of supply chain management (SCM) is to pursue the minimization of the total operational costs, which consist mainly of the transportation and inventory costs. This research aims to derive an approximate optimized transportation and inventory costs by using a systematic process of allocating goods.
In current electronic commerce (EC) environment of, customer satisfaction is achieved through rapid distribution of the supply chain management logistics. In order to satisfy customer’s stock requirements to avoid shortages, supply chain should have appropriate inventory management operation system and transportation system.
The existence of inventory is due the consideration of customer service, seasonal products, market speculation, increasing quality standard, supplement of deviation of forecast, variation in supply and demand, differences between production system and distribution system, and the use of some ordering systems. Primarily, inventory management is to ensure smooth enterprise operations, and to reduce inventory cost and to provide satisfactory customer services.
Transportation is one of the essential elements in basic activities of the supply chain. The transportation system serves to deliver raw material from the supplier to the manufacturer in business logistics, and to distribute finished goods from the manufacturer to the customer. The aim of the transportation operations is to deliver the right quantity of material to the right place at the right time.
There is a conflicting objective of the transportation and the inventory costs, the decrease of one will increase of the other. A trade-off makes the considerations of supply chain operation difficult. This research investigates the factors that influence the transportation and inventory costs in the supply chain. Through inventory classification, the allocation of warehousing, and the use of available facilities, the transportation and inventory costs can be reduced. The result of this research can contribute to effective supply chain management.
