CISDI was contracted by Baosteel Group in February 2014 to provide production logistics system diagnostics and optimization service for Xinjiang Bayi Steel. CISDI will explore the potential of optimization by analyzing the relation between logistics processes, management, information and production, and propose optimization solution to help Bayi Steel to reduce the operating cost of logistics system.

CISDI logistics service is intended to help customers to improve their logistics system performance and lower their logistics cost by solving the problems arising during production. The service covers logistics system planning and design, diagnosis and optimization, simulation analysis, integration and strategic planning. With the increasing competition in steel industry in recent years, it becomes a new trend for the steel producers to seek to reduce the logistics cost. CISDI started the research on production logistics in steel plants since 2009, and has developed a good production logistics research methodology to provide consulting services including planning and design, diagnostics and analysis, simulation analysis and integrated solutions for logistics system, so as to achieve the general layout optimization, logistics system diagnosis, logistics supply and demand balance, railway scheduling optimization, logistics management improvement and simulation demonstration. Meanwhile, CISDI has been actively promoted its research results to many steel producers and has won wide recognition.
