碩士 / 國立臺北大學 / 企業管理學系 / 96 / Practically, freight forwarders transport goods while manufacturer consolidate small orders until a large dispatch quantity reached. This practice is known as temporal shipment/load consolidation. Two different types of temporal shipment consolidation routines are popular in transportation applications. These are (1) Time-Based Dispatch Policy, and (2) Quantity-Based Dispatch Policy.
In maritime transport practice, Shippers transport the goods to the destination port and deliver containers to Forwarders’ warehouse (storage-in-transit, SIT) according to Forwarders’ require. Forwarders dismantle containers and distribute the goods from SIT. In other words, SIT serves as a temporary warehouse for goods. The expense of goods storage in the SIT is time-increasing. Dispatching cost has been a major concern for many manufacturers since the freight fee increase recently. This study discusses the total cost variation due to different dispatch models. Besides the temporal (time-based) and consolidate (quantity-based) dispatch models, a hybrid model includes SIT are established and compared in terms of demand and freight fee variations. Suggestions are given for manufacturers to choose among dispatching policies for lower cost.
