Abstract :
There are multiple choices of transport modes crossing in logistics process, namely, the existence of multimodal transport issues. The multimodal transportation is used in distributed supply chain environment, and multimodal transport network is deformed. Considerate of the production costs, transportation costs, earliness/tardiness penalty costs and sale price comprehensively, the maximize object optimization mode of distribution supply chain network profit is established. Lingo software is applied to a given example for testing, and it achieved good results.
