A Study of Physical Distribution Model in Suratthani Province

Abstract

This Research is a Study of Physical Distribution Model in Suratthani Province. The objective was tostudy the distribution model for indicator development strategy to reduce transportation costs. Transportationand distribution efficiency in the province of Suratthani were based on total minimal cost of transportationsystem. Due to routine and traffic flow at appropriate, in order to identify strategies to develop transport. Thescope of study was ‘a study of Physical Distribution Model in Suratthani Province, demand and supply ofproducts including five major types of pararubber products processing, parawood processing, palm oil,seafood processing and ore Suratthani Province. The mathematical model was used to achieve the objectivesof thee study. Modeling up the data was used in modeling the distribution of ore Suratthani Province. From thedata collection of relevant agencies in Suratthani province, the results from this model can be a strategy todevelop distribution to reduce costs and improve distribution of Suratthani province which is divided into twocriteria (1) strategy development, raw materials and resources processing to distribution at the lowest cost oftransport, focus on the location and source of raw materials processing, taking into account the distancebetween the transportation costs of transportation caused the lowest and (2) developing a strategy to reducethe cost of transport system highlighted the benefits of using a large vehicle that can carry large amounts at atime, which makes the system cost reduction and suggested guidelines for development of Multi-modaltransport formats.
