The improvement of logistics operation management for many tobacco companies highly depends on the reduction of distribution costs. In order to optimize routes, cigarettes are delivered through online real-time distribution system equipped with GIS/GPS. These network information technologies are crucial to creating and maintaining an efficient distribution system. Considering the applicability and flexibility of GIS/GPS network information system, this paper assesses the impact of its implementation on the logistics distribution cost from both overall and household levels. Specifically, DID and pseudo-DID models were adopted and monthly panel data of 14 prefecture-level branches of Hunan Tobacco Company during 2016-2019 were used for regression.We find that the implementation of GIS/GPS network information systems increased the total distribution cost. However, the average distribution cost was significantly reduced at per household level as the customer base expanded. A series of robustness and sensitivity tests supported above results. Furthermore, the implementation of GIS/GPS network information system is beneficial to service quality and employee performance. In addition, more time and logistics costs were saved when drivers chose “dynamic + fixed optimization” route model.

GIS / GPS网络信息系统对烟草企业物流配送成本的影响

许多烟草公司改善物流运作管理在很大程度上取决于降低分销成本。为了优化路线,通过配备有GIS / GPS的在线实时配送系统运送卷烟。这些网络信息技术对于创建和维护有效的分发系统至关重要。考虑到GIS / GPS网络信息系统的适用性和灵活性,本文从总体和住户两方面评估了其实施对物流配送成本的影响。具体来说,采用DID和伪DID模型,并使用2016-2019年湖南省烟草公司14个地级分支机构的月度面板数据进行回归。我们发现,实施GIS / GPS网络信息系统增加了总分销成本。但是,随着客户群的扩大,平均分配成本在每户家庭水平上已大大降低。一系列的鲁棒性和敏感性测试支持了以上结果。此外,GIS / GPS网络信息系统的实施有利于服务质量和员工绩效。此外,当驾驶员选择“动态+固定优化”路线模型时,可以节省更多的时间和物流成本。GIS / GPS网络信息系统的实施有利于服务质量和员工绩效。此外,当驾驶员选择“动态+固定优化”路线模型时,可以节省更多的时间和物流成本。GIS / GPS网络信息系统的实施有利于服务质量和员工绩效。此外,当驾驶员选择“动态+固定优化”路线模型时,可以节省更多的时间和物流成本。
