A fuzzy decision making model to select the location of the distribution center in logistics

Seeking best logistics centre location (LCL) is a challenge problem and affected by many factors, such as the natural and business environment, the candidate infrastructure, as well as the surrounding conditions. These factors, taken as evaluation indicator to select the satisfying alternative, consist of many quantitative indicators and qualitative indicators; so the LCL belongs to the fuzzy semi-structured decision-making problem. In order to solve it, this paper presents the new optimal selection for alternative programs of logistics center using the fuzzy decision-making model (FDMM), this algorithm based on engineering fuzzy set theory (EFST), has been intensively tested in real system, providing good discusses on characteristics of the model, and the specific application of the FDMM.
