In order to ensure the healthy development of distribution center (DC), it is necessary to constitute the evaluation method. This paper deals with establishing the evaluation method of DC by grey reltional analysis (GRA). Firstly, the parameters of the indices system were selected, such as the rationality of location, the efficiency of space utilization and the level of information et al.. Secondly, qualitative and quantitative data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and measurements from six DCs in Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province and Shanghai. Thirdly, the six DCs chose from the three provinces were evaluated according to the indices system. At last, the best DC were determined. It shows that the sustainable development evaluation method based on GRA is simple and has a promising prospect.
