Track: Simulation and PLM Competition

Abstract

This paper explains about the consideration of implementation Autonomous Vehicles as the main transportation modes pertains logistic processes in the Supply Chain area, especially in the Oil/Petroleum Distribution. The major challenges which companies currently facing is the inflexible distribution processes. Improvements can be done through lean logistics, in example by changes the old-fashioned transportation or conventional truck towards Autonomous Truck in the future. This alternative must be carefully considered in order to gain competitive advantage and increased the efficiency of logistic processes.This paper explains about the consideration of implementation Autonomous Vehicles as the main transportation modes pertains logistic processes in the Supply Chain area, especially in the Oil/Petroleum Distribution.
