Abstract

This article is conducting a study on the demand forecast from the x-retailers, y-distribution centers, and z-suppliers supply chain of logistics area. The supply chain will be divided into upstream and downstream levels. Combined with the characteristics of the supply chain and demand characteristics of the regional logistics network, Dijkstra shortest path algorithm is used and its demand forecast model is constructed based on it to obtain the exact demand of each node enterprises. At last, an example is given to prove it.

This work was supported by the Project of the national social science fund (12BJY020) and soft science of hunan province science and technology department.
