Research on optimizing model for logistics location under electronic commerce based on heuristic algorithm

Abstract

With the development of the computer network technology and the electronic commerce, more and more firms establish the electronic sale channel and get great profits. The huge supply chain network is established through the new idea and technology. The node location selection is a planning process that chooses a location to set up a logistics node in an economy zone with multi demands. Hence, its location selection is a key link in the logistics system planning. In this paper, we consider the specific particularity of the e-commerce. Then, we constraints cost and delivery time of the logistics model. At last, we apply the heuristic algorithm to the location model. The results show that the algorithm can apply to the logistics distribution problem under the electronic commerce environment excellently. © 2014 SERSC.
