An Immunity-Based Algorithm for Distribution Center Location

Abstract:

The distribution center is the bridge connected supply points and demand points, lies in pivotal status in modern logistics system. Firstly, the mathematical model of a distribution center location is established, based on the study of using neural network to solve distribution center location of the previous scholars, a new method is presented as well as the improved immune algorithm. A new affinity formula is designed for immunoselection criteria. Simultaneously, based on the mathematical model and cases, the algorithm is drilled concrete. A case shows that the improved immune algorithm can better solve the problem of the distribution center location.
