Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 103 === Third party logistics providers offer professional knowledge and experience of logistics to assist organizations in processing logistic related problems; most research analyzed the effects after third party logistics system joins the supply chain. Therefore, this study constructed two types of pricing schemes to fit third party logistics, which are differential pricing schemes and uniform-mean-time pricing schemes, as well as taking the stable delivery time into consideration. Before constructing model, this study analyzed the cost of processing logistics operations from third party logistics and introduced it into differential pricing schemes and uniform-mean-time pricing schemes, then found the profit by calculating the shipment consolidation cycles. In consequence, the result shows that differential pricing schemes can produce higher profit to organizations. Finally, using sensitivity analysis method, this study determined the influences of the important parameters of the third party logistics on the period or profit of shipment consolidation cycles. Comparing with other industries, the third party logistics rely more on long-term cooperating mechanism. Therefore, referring to the quantity discounts concept in supply chain coordination mechanism, this study incorporated that into the third party logistics system. The result shows that although the profit of the third party logistics decreases after employing the new mechanism, the demand has increased due to the discount price; moreover, the waste of cost decreases.
