Abstract :
Aiming at the higher and higher logistics´ distribution efficiency and the lower and lower overall transportation cost under e-commerce environment, this paper proposed a location-selection model of two-level logistics distribution mechanism. The first-level distribution center´s location has been solved by Steiner tree problem´s arithmetic based on minimum spanning tree. For second-level distribution center´s location, travelling salesperson problem´s improved mathematic model has been established firstly, the model has been solved by the software Lingo secondly and the optimized location has been obtained finally. In the end, some tests have been respectively made to prove the feasibility of the two model, which offers references for establishing multilevel distribution mechanism.
