A VIRTUAL STORE FRAMEWORK MODEL: OPTIMISING TRAVEL ROUTE FOR A PASSENGER RAIL OPERATION OF MAINTENANCE COMPONENTS USING GIS

摘要: Previous studies of supply chain management systems have attempted to focus on transportation, logistics, storage space planning, and time-to-delivery. The biggest challenge for large organisations like the Passenger Rail Agency South Africa, which has a presence throughout is trying manage all stores efficiently effectively. This article looks at these challenges, provides virtual store framework model understand scope magnitude an integrated logistics approach. Geographical information were applied determine efficient route transporting components between stores. Furthermore, authors identified major aspects impacts system in rail passenger transport operation. was done through on-site review literature tested case study that produced results include time cost as variables decision-making.
