Abstract :
It studies the features of three transportation modes and gives the model of them. All the researches are under single supplier, multiple retailers, multiple products, multiple times and direct shipping strategies. Firstly it analyses the influence on the total costs corresponding to the optimization solution when parameters vary. Then it lays the emphasis on the vehicle-rent transportation mode. It studies which parameters vary has the larger influence on the total costs. It also analyses the range of the rent under given condition. At last it shows the function of the prototype system.
