Abstract

This paper presented an optimization model for the generic multi-commodity logistics network design, in which the objective function was to minimize the total cost, including the location cost and inventory cost and supply and demand cost. The heuristic algorithm was developed for the model. Practical application denotes the optimization method operates rapidly and the result is rational, so it can provide a scientific decision-making support method for the design of the network, it is an effective method for solving large-scale problems, and the cost of total saving is feasibility.
