This paper investigates the planning of the workshop logistics distribution system for an assembly line in an engineering machinery manufacturing company producing mainly concrete mixer trucks. The study covers mainly some methodologies in selecting appropriate logistics distribution mode, determining the distribution lot size and part-sets, and deciding the material packing method under some distribution batching rules. The simulation software QUEST is employed for carrying out some systematic simulation experiments and analysis, so as for finding an ideal logistics distribution scheme and improving the performance of the production logistics system.

Hierarchy Process

The marine economy has become a growth point for the regional economy. International resource exchange is mainly achieved through marine transportation. Ports play a vital role in marine transportation and also play an important role in some large-scale international rescue activities. When an emergency occurs in the port, the port emergency logistics system has an important impact on the collection and distribution of materials, which can effectively reduce the negative impact and economic loss caused by the emergency. Through in-depth analysis of the emergency logistics system, design the comprehensive evaluation system of the port emergency logistics distribution system, and based on the characteristics of the grey, fuzzy and difficult to quantify the influencing factors of the emergency logistics distribution system, apply the analytic hierarchy process and grey system theory to establish the gray level comprehensive evaluation model of the port emergency logistics distribution system. In this model, the analytic hierarchy process is used to determine the index weight, and then the grey theory is used to comprehensively evaluate the emergency logistics distribution system. Finally, the port is used as a case to verify the practicability and effectiveness of the model.

Electronic commerce is the products of the development of Internet and information technology in the twentieth century. It makes commodity trading changing dramatically, not only to shorten trading hours, transactions faster, but also greatly reduce the transaction costs of commodity transactions. As a rapidly developing e-commerce industry, logistics and distribution system has become an unavoidable bottleneck to E-commerce Businesses. The efficiency level of logistics and distribution system is the key to the success of e-commerce, the currently logistics problems plaguing the e-commerce are: high cost of delivery of goods, high storage costs, imperfect distribution channels. In this paper, discuss how to build a value of the galaxy in which e-commerce businesses as the core member, thereby strengthening and improving contact to commodity suppliers, service providers and customers. Format a harmonious and win-win situation by mutual promotion and common development to solve the logistics problems of the e-commerce business development constraints.

The presented article deals with the issue of solving bottlenecks in the logistics flow of a manufacturing company. The Tx Plant Simulation software tool is used to detect bottlenecks and deficiencies in the company’s production, logistics and transportation systems. Together with the use of simulation methods and lean manufacturing tools, losses in business processes are eliminated and consequently flow throughput is improved. In the TX Plant Simulation software environment, using Bottleneck analyzer, bottlenecks were defined on the created simulation model and a method of optimizing logistics flows was designed and tested by introducing the Kanban pull system. This resulted in an improvement and throughput of the entire logistics flow, a reduction in inter-operational stocks and an increase in the efficiency of the production system as a whole.

The infectious disease COVID-19 has swept across the world in 2020, and it continues to cause massive losses of life and severe economic problems in all countries. Providing emergency supplies such as protective medical equipment and materials required to secure people’s livelihood is thus currently prioritized by governments. Establishing a reliable emergency logistics system is critical in this regard. This paper used the Delphi method to design a formal decision structure to assess emergency logistics system reliability (ELSR) by obtaining a consensus from a panel of experts. Assessing ELSR is a typical multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) problem, and the related MADM methods are usually on the basis of symmetry principles. A hybrid MADM model, called the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)-based Analytical Network Process (D-ANP), was developed to identify the critical factors influencing ELSR. An analysis of empirical evidence showed that the emergency logistics command and coordination system and the emergency material supply system play important roles in ELSR, while the emergency logistics transportation and distribution system and the emergency information system are not so important. This conclusion is different from previous research about traditional disaster emergency logistics. Moreover, the cause–effect relationships among the key factors indicated that the system of command and coordination for emergency logistics and the supply system for emergency materials should be improved. Accordingly, effective suggestions for emergency logistics services for epidemic prevention are provided in this paper. The main contributions of this paper are (1) establishing a comprehensive and systematic evaluating index of ELSR for epidemic prevention; (2) employing a kind of structured, namely D-ANP, to identify the critical factors with non-commensurable and conflicting (competing) characteristics; and (3) comparing the differences of reliable criteria between the emergency logistics of epidemic prevention and the traditional disaster emergency logistics.

This paper describes the use of Fluid Flow Simulation Software to model a passenger aircraft engine environmental control system. The analysis simulates the cooling pack and the engine distribution system in a single model.The engine environmental system is very important for engine working efficiently. Using AMEsim software to simulate the cooling system can make it easily and clearly. The influence of the heat component and the fan operating is studied also. Through the analysis of the cooling system, we know that with the help of fan, the system can get additional air in the radiator and make the temperature decrease consequently.
