The Research On Methodology Of Logistics Center Locating

In order to improve the efficiency of logistics centers' operation and the performance of logistics system, the locating of logistics centers becomes very important in designing and managing logistics system.At first, this article introduces the conception, function and class of logistics centers to give a whole realization of their characters and meaning to readers. On base of that, it discusses the principles, influencing factors, flow and methods of logistics centers locating. Then, at last it puts forward the steps, methods, and examples for logistics centers locating.The logistics centers locating is the main contact in this article. There are many methods for it; we can sort them into two kinds: quality ones and quantity ones. In this article, it uses AHP and the fuzzy synthetic evaluation for qualitative indexes; heuristic algorithm or GA algorithm for quantitative ones. We notice that quality ones have drawbacks in veracity while quantity ones have defects in completion. So the article unites the two kinds of indexes by using the indexes' satisfaction algorithm, and thus provides the support for the decision-making of logistics center locating.
