The Optimization of Logistics and Distribution

Abstract:

Distribution is an important function of enterprise logistics. Through efficient distribution activities, it can reduce the total cost of logistics enterprises and improve logistics efficiency and service levels. Therefore, the rationality of the logistics and distribution system design will directly affect the survival and development of enterprises. In this dissertation uses a retail business distribution network for the study, to study its distribution optimization models and methods, using a variety of algorithms for analysis, to understand its distribution network efficient mode of operation.
