ChemCo Distribution CaseStudy Developed by Jose J. Hernandez MIT MLOG ’03 Introduction ChemCo, a specialty chemical manufacturer, is considering how to best redesign its distribution network in Texas. This decision is especially relevant as the due date approaches for renewing their contracts with several of the 3PL warehouses they are currently using. David, the operations manager for the Texas region, has been actively leading the improvement of their Houston plant to remove bottlenecks in both production and distribution of the chemical products. The Houston plant has always been a busy place and demand has had significant growth in the last 5 years. The Houston plant’s ability to ship to customers was seriously constrained by congestion in its shipping and receiving area. Two years ago it was common to see a long line of trucks waiting to be loaded in the shipping area, and the associated cost of overtime.But, by the end of 2004, David had “leaned-out” the plant operations to the point that the shipping area had 30% excess capacity. It was then when he started rethinking the current distribution network design. David wondered if it still made sense to have a separate distribution center in Dallas and, if not, how they would be able to serve those customers. To help him make a sound decision, David has asked for some supply chain management help. Unfortunately, there is very limited time and data available for the analysis. Your team has been called into help in making a recommendation to David within the next few days.ChemCo开发与分布CaseStudy何塞的介绍MLOG赫南德斯麻省理工学院03 ChemCo、特种化工生产厂家,正在考虑如何最好地重新设计其分销网络在德克萨斯州。这个决定是特别相关的临近截止更新和几个合同第三方物流仓库他们正在使用。大卫,运营经理为得克萨斯地区,一直积极领导的改善植物在休斯顿消除瓶颈,做到生产和分配的化工产品。休斯顿植物一直是一个繁忙的地方和要求却有显著的增长在过去的5年。休斯顿植物的能力严重制约船舶客户通过拥挤在发货和收货区。两年前是常见到一长排的卡车等待装运输区域,以及相关的成本加班。但是,到2004年底,大卫已经“leaned-out“工厂运作,致使船舶地区有30%的产能过剩。当时他开始反思当前分销网络设计。大卫想知道它是否仍然有意义有一个单独的配送中心在达拉斯和,如果不是,他们能够服务于这样的客户。帮他做一个好的抉择,大卫问一些供应链管理的帮助。不幸的是,我们非常有限的时间和数据进行了分析。你的队伍已经被称为帮助做推荐大卫在未来几天内。Background Che
