trend. According to the “Building Materials Industry
and Economic Operation in 2020”, China’s building
materials industry has grown by 2.8% year-on-year
with generally stable prices and rising profits. We
take a small and medium-sized building materials
enterprise as our research object and analyze its order
volume, supply volume and transshipment data of
various participants in the past ten years to formulated
the optimal raw material ordering plan and
transshipment plan. Based on this, production
enterprises can adjust their development strategy and
accelerate the process of transforming and upgrading.
1.2 Research Purpose and Significance
China’s “14th Five-Year Plan” outline a procedure to
transform and upgrade traditional industries,
especially promoting the layout optimization and
structural adjustment of the raw material industries
such as petrochemicals, steel, nonferrous metals and
building materials to promote green building
materials. The development of the building materials
industry will shift from “incremental expansion” to
“improving quality and efficiency”. We take a certain
building materials enterprise as the research object
and introduce the price correction factor to simulate
the dynamic characteristics of the supply chain. Our
primary method is to build a dual-objective planning
model to analyze the enterprise's optimal ordering
plan and transshipment plan for raw materials from
the perspective of supply chain management.
China’s supply chain industry has developed
rapidly in recent years. Existing researches often
focus on a single manufacturing enterprise as research
object and generally do not consider the dynamic
characteristics of the supply chain system in the
modeling process. With the idea of system analysis,
we creatively introduce the price correction factor,
which can simulate the dynamic characteristics of the
supply chain system to a certain extent. Our planning
model under this correction can not only reduce the
cost of the production enterprise, but also
significantly improve the enterprise's ability to resist
risks and increase the potential for productivity.
Further we take the price correction factor as the
coefficient of the decision variable to affect the form
of the objective function. As a result, in the process of
optimizing the solution result of the model, there are
only a few and concise constraints, which simplifies
the complex processing methods of the traditional
model.
While promoting enterprises to reduce costs,
improve their ability to resist risks and increase
production potential, our results also have certain
reference significance for the transformation and
upgrading of China’s material industry, operation
management and supply chain management in the
future development and contribute to social and
economic construction and development.
1.3 Existing Research
With regard to the research on supply chain ordering
and transshipment, relevant conclusions have been
discussed since the 1970s. A.A. (Gaballa 1974) first
used the mathematical programming model to study
the problem of supplier selection. K. and S. (Skouri
and Papachristos 2002) proposed damage cost,
holding cost and so on.
C.O. (Brien 2006) adopted the
ownership goal method to evolve the single-objective
cost planning model into a multi-objective cost
planning model, marking the formal formation of the
supply chain logistics integration mode. Michael
(Stuart 2010) starts from the three aspects of order
acquisition, transportation, and inventory to minimize
the sum of order processing costs, transportation
costs, and inventory costs. Some scholars (Liu et al.
2017) used AHP and TOPSIS evaluation models to
reconstruct a scientific and effective supplier
evaluation system. Some also (Zhang et al. 2010)
mentioned the importance of realizing the mutual
sharing of information between enterprises at various
nodes during cost control based on the perspective of
supply chain
. Other schoalrs (Liu 2019) think that
enterprises should not only regard the supply chain as
a product supply ,transshipment and storage, but
should recognize the relationship between supply
chain changes and product development and
marketing.
In summary, we can find that there are many
research results on supply chain research methods and
supplier selection at home and abroad, but most of
them stay on the level of cost control and do not
consider the dynamic characteristics of the supply
chain system, thus the solution results are limited to
the improvement of supply chain stability and
capacity potential. Therefore, with the rapid
development of information economy and support of
government policies, it is imperative to formulate
effective methods on the optimal ordering plan and
transshipment plan from the perspective of system
analysis.

For production enterprises, ensuring their normal
production, operation and maintenance is the most
basic and important thing. Some enterprises may have
