Abstract

With the continuous development of economy, the number of cold chain logistics enterprises in our country continues to increase, and the demand and circulation of cold chain logistics food are also increasing year by year, and the cold chain logistics system is facing the main problem is the cost and the corrosion rate is relatively high, profit inequality. In order to solve the above problems, warehousing operation system and distribution center are one of the most important links in the process of distribution activities and warehousing operations. The efficient operation of the distribution and warehousing system is directly related to the efficiency of enterprise operation. This paper takes C cold chain logistics system as the research object. The cold chain logistics distribution center is a comprehensive logistics enterprise with multiple functions. The Flexsim simulation model was established based on the operation flow of vegetables, fruits and dairy products in the system and the current state of their storage. According to the simulation results, it is found that the warehousing operation process of the distribution center has some problems, such as too long waiting time, uneven work rate of employees and excessive damage of goods. According to the principle of FIFO and storage strategy, research and optimize the plan reasonably. According to the comparison and analysis of the output simulation results after optimization and before optimization, the storage waiting time has significantly decreased, the operator operation rate is relatively more balanced, and the number of unqualified products has been greatly reduced after reinspection, and the optimization results have increased the efficiency of the storage operating system and provided the direction for the future development of the enterprise.
