Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on enterprises’ risk sharing strategy, transportation decisions such as the mode of transportation, transport volume and frequency are analyzed in this paper with a single supplier and multiple retailers as a whole research object. The effect of transportation decision on transportation cost is quantified, and a logistics cost model is established based on the comprehensive consideration of transportation cost and inventory cost. The logistics cost under risk sharing mode is calculated by using a numerical example of different kinds of products and is compared with the logistics cost under traditional mode, which provides a basis for effective logistics cost control.
