碩士 / 中原大學 / 國際貿易研究所 / 99 / The transportation issue not only influences a company’s operating cost, it is also closely related to customer’s trust and company’s goodwill. Thus, the way to design a transportation model that is suitable for practical application and the way to plan the transportation route and save the transportation cost are the main considerations in the research.
In this study, linear programming method is applied to plan the lowest transportation cost for Federal Corporation. Based on the ocean freight data collected from Federal Corporation, ocean freight companies and shipping and transportation companies, the transportation volume, the production costs and the transshipment costs in new international multimodal transportation regions are analyzed. In addition, a programming model is established based to solve the problems more effectively.
The results show that, due to the lower wage rates in China, most tires ordered are produced in China and exported via JiuJiang port. However, as the wages are gradually increasing, some of the orders will be exported from Keelung port of Taiwan. Moreover, if the production capacity of JiuJiang factory decreases or if the production capacity of Jhongli factory increases, the export volume of Keelung port would increase.
The biggest contribution of the research is that the complicated transportation issue is reduced to a simple linear programming model. The decision maker can make decisions under different situations in a very short time.
