A Study of Layout of Urban Distribution Centers Based on Cost-Effective Distance of Transport

Abstract:

Profits, as one of the ultimate goals of business operations, plays a crucial role in business decision making process. Based on the negative correlation between warehousing costs and distribution costs, this paper introduces urban development coefficient and identifies the cost-effective distance of transport (CEDT) for urban distribution centers using quantitative calculation method and qualitative analysis including center of gravity model. In addition, with land availability and urban traffic control measures as related constraints, this paper identifies the locations of urban distribution centers and conducts an empirical analysis using Jiujiang City of Jiangxi Province as an example.
