  • Abstract
    This article focuses on introducing the study and application of Center-of-Gravity on the location selection of single distribution center, and uses the winQSB software to solve corresponding issues, Then improves the model and puts forward an improved-gravity method, and finally expands the application of Center-of-Gravity, puts forward algorithm thinking of multiple Center-of-Gravity approach, which appropriates in the location selection of multiple distribution center.
