Abstract :
The term logistics has been studied with the increasing recognition about its importance to enterprises, organizations as well as the national economy. The logistics center is an important node in supply chain. Two key factors have to be considered for the scheme of the logistics center: one is how to assign the orders to suppliers, and the other is choice of transportation strategy. This paper has proposed a Fuzzy Neural Network approach for analyzing and determining logistics center planning modes in the supply chain environment. A numerical example is also included in the study to demonstrate the steps of the proposed model.
