Abstract :
Aiming at the common unscientific approach of delimitating distribution center service coverage based on administrative division, the author in this paper introduces the principles of ordinary Voronoi diagram, then analyses the feasibility of its applying to delimitate distribution center service coverage. At last the paper gives an example to illustrate its effect on solving the problem. It is found that the approach of delimitating distribution center service coverage based on Voronoi diagram is more corresponds with the objective situation of logistics market than that based on administrative division.
