Since China joined WTO, the globalization of economy becomes more and more popular. How does Xiamen postal logistics continue to grow up steadily during the era of new circumstances and trends? The logistics network management will have a pivotal influence to the development of Xiamen postal logistics. Under the circumstance of the comprehensive step-in and expansion in the logistics business and in order to display the core competitive advantage, the demand of the logistics network management is imperative and will play a vital role in the growth of the Xiamen postal logistics. Although many scholars and experts have conducted broad research about the logistics network management, so far, the proposed models and methods basically ignored the change of customer demand along with the time, as a result, the most superior of the address or the transit route selected for the allocation center can only be the most superior in the short-term, not in the long-term development of the logistics enterprise. Taking into consideration the time factor, this article is a study on logistics network management from the aspect of the optimization of the address and transit route selection for the allocation center.This article first analyzed the current situation about location of distribution center of the Xiamen postal logistics network through looking at the macroscopic environment of the postal logistics and the logistics condition in Xiamen, and then pointed out both the strengths and problems in Xiamen postal logistics network. Then after having introduced in detail the analysis methods and models which will be used in location of logistics distribution center, and through reviews and analysis of the previous theories, this article tried to provide a practical model of location of distribution center to solve the problems existing in Xiamen postal logistics network. Finally, through an example, and the analysis of the necessary data and the questionable problems from address selection during the process of the network management, as well as the overall consideration of the difference of the transportation expense and the distribution of the fixed cost from the postal logistics allocation center, this article has established a model, based on the long-term development of Xiamen postal logistics, which can gradually improve the logistics network. After that, it gave an explanation to the model establishment as well as the model solution and the result analysis, thus confirmed the feasibility of this model. The optimized plan for location of distribution center of Xiamen postal logistics can be obtained from this model.
