Abstract :
Common delivery is a way of cooperation among many enterprises. It spends much less total delivery cost and produces profit to use common delivery. Meanwhile, how to allocate responsibly the profit is a difficult problem. According to the profit allocated irresponsibly in common delivery, this paper introduces the formula and the theoretical model of profit allocation based on Shapley value. Then according to the insufficiency of Shapley value method, this paper proposes a modified method based on compensation. At last, a numerical example is given to validate that the modified method is more rational and effective.
