Abstract:

The method of logistics distribution network systems location based on cost analysis was proposed. From the global view of the network structures, a general total cost model which includes all terminals cost and distribution transportation cost was given by applying network theory, operation cost theory, demand distribution and route choice knowledge. The simulation experiment demonstrated that this method  was an efficient decision scheme to help design the distribution network structures of the third party logistics enterprises.
 

Key words: logistics distribution networks system, multi-service and multi-running mode, operation cost analysis
