Location selection is one of the key problems in the whole logistics system. It's the strategic item in logistics system researches. To a single enterprise, it affects the whole construction levels of the logistics system. To the supply chain system, the location selection decision of the core enterprise will affect all supply vendors' logistics systems. The location selection of logistics distribution center affects its cost and efficiency deeply and affects its warehousing plan and development also. It's a strategic problem and lies in all levels of logistics system. There are lots of buildings, infrastructures and machines in logistics distribution center. Once the location is set, it is hard to move. Big money will be wasted if the location is improper. So we should take this problem seriously. The research to location selection is of practicality.Several strategies of location selection have been analyzed after introduction on the concept of logistics, background information and research issues. The synthetic evaluation method and network plan on logistics center location selection have been researched deeply. The paper sets forth some aspects of location selection problems; it involves the effect factors, model construction and its algorithm.It's divided into five parts. First, the development, concept and function of logistics distribution center is proposed in the paper. Second, the related document is introduced. It's introduced in two sides. One is the synthetic evaluation methods; the other is single facility or multi-facilities location models. And also summarize other algorithms used in some documents. Third, construct the hierarchical structure of effect factors of distribution centers. Then select the proper alternative based on combined AHP and fuzzy synthetic evaluation method. An example is presented to introduce the steps and prove its practicability. Fourth, continue the contents of the above, give a network project to the location selected firstly, and apply integer plan to give the number of the warehouses, how the...
