Study On Distribution Network Optimization In Agriculture Produce Supply Chain

Agriculture produce supply chain management has become the hot topic in agricultural and academic area. Agriculture produce supply chain is composed of four phases: supply, production, processing and distribution. Distribution network, which is the core phase in Agriculture produce supply chain, is the bridge and tie to connect the producer and the client. The scientific and rational optimization design of distribution network, in the recent client-drive competitive environment, is an extremely important approach to make clients the more satisfactory and enterprises the more competitive. Agriculture produce distribution network optimization is an important research task in agriculture produce supply chain management.The paper, which does research on agriculture produce distribution network in depth and focuses on bi-level distribution design optimization, considers selecting from waiting nodes suitable ones to build distribution centers, and decides which clients the selected ones serve. The paper mainly pays attention to study on physical distribution network. Firstly, from the background of agriculture produce distribution network optimization, the paper reviews correlative researches, introduces the concept of agriculture produce supply chain and its distribution network, depicts the chief objects of agriculture produce distribution network optimization and further probes in network configuration type selecting and node location of agriculture produce distribution network. Secondly, according to the freshness of agriculture produce,inducting time -price parameter (ρ_ij) , set a based- on-ρ_ij fresh produce distributionnetwork optimization model, and tests it. Finally, considering demand random and inventory controlling, sets a based-on-inventory controlling non-fresh produce distribution network optimization model, analyzes and comments on it.
