Fig: Logistics and Distribution System Design Methodology Development of recommendations The findings from the optimum simulation must then be complied into a series of specific, practical recommendations which can be implemented in the real world. The best approach is to organize them in the form an action plan, showing the recommended implementation sequence, milestones, deadlines and major resource requirement.

Carrier transport to outbound stations Package sorted, scanned and placed in container Station outbound package scan (sops) COSMAT
Container transported to inbound Station by air or road Container unloaded and packages are sorted and scanned Station inbound package Scan (sips) COSMAT
The following figures shows the model they follow in Chennai for various operations

OUT BOUND OPERATION: In the outbound operation starts with the carrier receiving the order and arrives at the shipper and then take the shipment to the respective service center. Then they will in scan the document and further they segregate the shipment and out scan the shipment, than load it to the hub. Again in the hub it is scanned (x-ray) and further loaded to the destination. Dart Apex is reaching directly picked up through road ways or air ways and will reach the hub and gets scanned, than to the respective destination and gets delivered by the Blue Dart Aviation dept Dart surface is specifically through road ways and from the pickup point, it directly goes to the warehouses and then it is transferred to the hub for the routing according to the specified destination through vans or trains or by buses by the Blue Dart Aviation dept throughout Chennai Domestic Priority (DP) are handled by the Blue Dart express .The Blue Dart express will first in scan the document and then out scan each and every document and then segregate it according to the route and are put in to the canvas bag according to the destination and through vans are delivered to the hub and then it is routed accordingly by specified destination
Thus the out bound operation happens to be in the evening and the shipment will be cleared by the night and shipped to the destination by various modes of transportation and thus will be delivered to the customer within one day in metros and two days to other parts of the Chennai. Thus the operation is carried over night and they are quick enough to deliver to the customer with high speed.

Container transported to HUB by road through vans Container unloaded at hub Packages sorted, scanned and reloaded into containers
Container transported to specified service centers by air or road Container unloaded in service centers and packages are sorted and scanned, loaded into vans COSMAT
INTERNATIONAL SERVICES: In international logistics systems, there is need to determine the best ports of loading and unloading, and the best border customs points. Another very important consideration in international logistics systems is that of optimal transfer prices. The logistics network must be designed in such a way that it takes maximum advantage of tax differentials and other national factors in arriving at the optimal structure. DHL is responsible for the International services has it has the strategic alliance with Blue Dart, the model is shown below:
COSMAT
Container unloaded at hub Packages sorted, scanned and reloaded into containers
Then taken over by DHL and Packages are transported to destination and delivered
Problem Statement
A change in the lifestyle of consumer and increase in competition generate issues like customer loyalty, pricing and quality of products and services offered taking prominence. The logistics management for changing business environment is the main area of consideration in the project.
at Blue Dart.
Clearing point and Forwarding to end customers and to recommend methods of improving its efficiency.
To make analysis and recommend on logistics management
Data Source
The sources of data are mainly the primary data by obtaining the customer or industry information by interviewing the personnel. This project solely focuses on the secondary data source that can be classified on the basis of sources as internal data as extracted from companies Data Bases.
Data Collection:
Observational Studies The data is collected by regular observation at Hubs & Service Centers. The model is designed by involving in the fields and observation done on the various process in the Hubs and different service centers in Chennai
Information from the service centre with respect to space requirements, routing,
Information required being collected from Finance Department for knowing the
And on the basis of the collected information, inferences were drawn explaining
Research Type:
Descriptive Research As the research is based on the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of the logistics and requires recommendation for improving its efficiency, requirement is to give a precise model that will remove the flaws in the existing model. This required an in depth study of current model
Research Limitations:
Since this study is company-specific and confined only to Chennai.
Findings of the study and the conclusion are drawn on the basis of observation
Generation of new hypothetical datasheets was feasible but not revealing. As such
and interviews the study needs to be undertaken by generating datasheet under hypothetical condition.
Investment pattern to the implementation of new model cannot be estimated
