Vehicle Routing Management : VRM

Abstract

This research aims to increase the efficiency of plastic pellet transport routes for the case study company, which has a point to send plastic pellets in the route Bangkok - Chonburi - Samut Sakhon - Ayutthaya, by collecting the past of transporntation data of plastic pellets and analyzing the transportation routing data with using Vehicle Routing Management (VRM) program. In present, the case study company uses 1 pickup truck to transport the platic pellets to customers in 13 locations, by using the experience of  the head of the transport deparment in routing transport together with the used of Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the routing points of delivery to the deliver.Before improvement, the average fuel  cost for transportation had been 1,802,864.40 bath per year,with an average transportation distance of 790.73 kilometer per year.After used the applying technique to analyze the transportation routes with the transportation routing modeling program,it can be help to reducing the fuel corts by 642,640.80 bath per, with an average transport distance of 508.87 kilometers per year and can reduce the distance of transportation by 281.86 kilometers per year accounted for 35.65%.
