            Abstract : 
To explore the coordination mechanism for logistics service supply chain, three collaborative operation modes, point-chain coordination, line-chain coordination and chain-chain coordination are defined according to the degree of synergy among members and their relationship, and collaborative models are built. After a numerical experiment on collaborative models, some conclusions are drawn: the greater the degree of synergy among members, the more efforts are required, the more obvious synergy effects and the more complex coordination behaviors are produced; the inherent driving mechanism for coordination become weak with the increase in complexity of collaborative behaviors, and the external driving mechanism is needed to be strengthened.
