Abstract

The optimization procedure of logistics center facilities layout projects has an important status in the logistics system layout and planning procedure. Based on the analysis to recent relevant studies, a new optimization frame for logistics center facilities layout projects was developed, and the evaluation index system was constructed, which included fourteen indexes. In view of the weight determination deficiencies of common comprehensive evaluation methods, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on entropy weight was presented. And in the end, the optimization method was applied on one farming logistics center layout projects evaluation course to validate its feasibility and correctness.
