The milk-run model, which features of small-lot, high-frequency delivery according to fixed schedules, is an efficient way to support the Just-in-time (JIT) production strategy in the automotive industry. It influences the whole supply chain in view of the three-party relationship tied by information technology, and reduces transportation and inventory costs. In this paper, by analyzing the milk-run model of an automobile manufacturing company, its contribution to the supply chain is displayed. Using a space-dividing method entitled "integral slice algorithm," the container capacity during a milk-run is considered. Moreover, for the purpose of improving productivity, we optimize the company's milk-run model studied in this case.
