Abstract :
The logistics network reliability theory is a probability index, which is more accurate to measure the status of the logistics network than absolute indicators. It can provide better decision-making basis for its planning and management. Therefore, study the reliability of logistics systems is essential to parts of the logistics business and even vital for the continued prosperity and stability of local economy. It will lead reliability theory to regional logistics network, and system analysis the reliability of the regional logistics network theory, including the definition of logistics network reliability and influence factors of logistics network reliability. On the basis of these theory the logistics network reliability evaluation indexes is proposed. At the same time, use connectivity reliability to test the reliability of logistics network. It gives ways to optimize the reliability of logistics network from different levels in the end.
