Research On The Problems Of Distribution Centers Choice And Profit Assignment Under Common-Delivery

With the market economy developing in China, the situation that different small companies have their own distribution centers (DCs) and the large number of DCs operate separately can not be avoided and has came into being at present. For the DCs talked above, they all have their own warehouse, trucks, information system and so on. Apparently, too many transportation establishments in the same region not only take a heavy burden to the small companies themselves but also bring a negative effect to the city transportation system. So, lots of scholars in this field try to find ways to settle out the question, and without doubt, cooperation is one of the most useful ways.As one form of cooperation, the common-delivery is a suitable primary modality for the china logistics companies. However, there are still many difficulties in founding an effective common-delivery alliance. Among them two are most important. One is how to integrate the DCs which belong to all parts in the cooperation alliance, The second one is how to select an optimal way to assign the new profits between all the parts, which are gained by integration. Actually, the two problems are interdependent. That is what my paper aims at. The paper gives an answer to the problems in different type of common-delivery by founding distribution location mathematical models and using the game theories.The research objects of my paper are the companies who want to take a cooperation strategy and join in a common cooperation to improve their competitive edge so as to survive in the fierce competence in the distribution. The purpose of my paper is to improve the competence of small-scale logistics companies and help the logistics companies in the logistics markets compete in a health way.
