A DECISION SUPORT SYSTEM IN MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION ROUTINGWITHIN GMS COUNTRIES
In an effort to reduce different culture-cognitive, regulation, and social needs of intraregional logistics and supply chain, the Government of Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) countries (e.g. Lao PDR, Myarnmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Yunan Province, PRC) have initiated to adopt a holistic multimodal transportation routing, in the form of North South Economic Corridor. The Government of GMS countries and logistic firms are in needs of models that can guide them practically on the investment in multimodal transportation routing. The objective of research, therefore, is to develop a decision support system (DSS) that can accommodate evaluation models and criteria including various factors to optimize multimodal transportation routing with maximum satisfaction in transporting goods within GMS countries. The DSS model is the combination of a number of models beginning with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model to achieve priorities in quantitative and qualitative point of view from customers and multimodal transporters of the alternatives (type of routing e.g. by air, sea, train, road etc.), following by the Goal Programming (GP) which can integrate priorities from AHP with quantitative data to achieve an optimal multimodal transportation routing base upon limitation of time and budget amongst service provider in GMS countries. The collaborating firms are multimodal transportation companies which have destination from/to Bangkok and various parts of Thailand, Hanoi, Danang, Ho Chi Minh and several parts of Vietnam via Lao PDR. The goods are, for example, plastics, steel, textile and automobile parts etc. The results analysis, recommandations and limitation are also presented.
