Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to conduct a comparison between the Physical Internet and traditional transportation systems in the northern regions of Thailand. The focus is on examining the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and overall effectiveness of both approaches in addressing the unique logistical challenges faced in this region. By providing a detailed analysis, this research seeks to highlight the potential advantages and limitations of implementing the Physical Internet as an innovative solution for improving transportation and logistics in northern Thailand. Design/methodology/approach: In terms of design, this study employs a mixed methods approach to compare the Physical Internet with traditional transportation systems in the northern regions of Thailand. The research design includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses to ensure a comprehensive evaluation. primary data will gather from local business based on industry standards. And simulation a data in traditional and the implemented of physical Internet principles in python model to define the result of the implemented. Finding: the study revealed improvements in physical internet implementation in the northern region. The improvement has focused on the maximization of warehouse utilization and cost effective in the logistics and supply chain in the northern region. Originality/value: the physical internet principle can be implemented in the logistics industry in Chiang Mai. The Physical Internet can improve utilization and lower operational costs by convincing a business to share assets and information in warehouse operation to maximize a warehouse’s utilization. The concept of the physical internet can improve the logistic performance of the logistics business to compete with large corporations.
