Abstract

At the location of logistics distribution centers, there are a lot of grey information, which are helpful to the location of logistics distribution centers. The principal purpose of this chapter is to develop a method for dealing with the grey production capacity at the location of logistics distribution centers. A grey programming model of the distribution center location with the grey production capacity was proposed, and its grey chance-constrained programming and the algorithm based on hybrid particle swarm optimization were obtained. The results of an example show that the model and algorithm are effective for dealing with the grey production capacity at the location of logistics distribution centers.
