The Research For Method Of Locating Logistics Center

At present, modern logistics has become a new economic hotspot. Logistics is the headspring of the third profits, so how to scoop out the logistics potential, increase total society benefit and economy social resource is the important measure for enterprise to seek the cost advantage and the differential advantage .It is also the new strategy for enterprise to make further development. Modern logistics not only need to reduce the logistics cost but also need to satisfy the customers' diverse request. It is inevitable in the development of the times and it is also the mission that age gives to the logistics enterprises.Logistics center's function in modern commodity currency is very great. Through unify management to the work such as transportation of the commodity, storage, load, convey, current process, deliver , order form and information handle, logistics center can alleviate the labor intensity and reduce the commodity consume, increase the stock velocity, accelerate the commodity currency, reduce currency cost, increase satisfaction degree of the social demand and offer more choices to consumers.Establish multi-function logistics center is the final develop direction of our logistics enterprises. In recent years, our enterprises' benefit decrease, and the scale shrinks, so they can't offer all-directions and low cost logistics service in a long time and also need to improve their logistics condition by themselves. For the special of the logistics enterprises, even social logistics develops to a certain extent, its function can no overlay all the parts of the enterprises logistics. Enterprises logistics have not commutability. For the mention above, establish logistics center is the inevitable trend that situation develop.For the sake of making logistics center develops its maximal economic benefit in modern commodity currency, what we want to deal with is that how to locate the logistics center and its logical layout to reduce the total cost of logistics.This paper introduces the characteristic of logistics and logistics center, development trend and discuss some typical principle and methods of locating logistics center in detail. It brings forward the optimal methods of locating logistics center by using Analytic Hierarchy Process. It also finds out the quantitative analysis orders with the combination of the qualitative analysis. The main research work in this paper is as'follows:1 It analyses the importance of logistics center in logistics system and the economic benefit which logistics center gives to the logistics system. It also brings forward the necessity of establishing logistics center.2, It brings forward what we want to pay attention to when we locating the logistics center, the influence factors and the principles we must follow.3 It clarifies a few methods of location logistics center and has some creative bases on them. It brings forward a comprehensive method of logistics center location.
