Abstract
This study examines methods to optimize
inbound logistics network structures in order to reduce transportation cost and
lead time. The research analyzes important factors such as route optimization,
vehicle utilization, mode of transportation, traffic congestion, and warehouse
location. Primary data were collected from 120 respondents involved in
logistics activities using structured questionnaires and observations. The
findings indicate that most variables have a positive relationship with each
other, showing that improvements in logistics planning can enhance overall
efficiency. Secondary data analysis also helped identify cost-effective
transportation options for material movement. The study highlights the
importance of technology, data analytics, and strategic planning in logistics
operations. Implementing these improvements can support faster deliveries,
lower operational expenses, and better supply chain performance.
