Abstract

A complete supply chain, from a cycle point of view taking into account the integrity of the logistics cycle, should include the forward and reverse logistics. Therefore, taking into account both original forward logistics system and the reverse logistics, in this paper the one-way logistics will be transformed into two-way logistics under the premise of the most savings capital, and the logistics center (Distribution Center; Recycling Center) location problem model is be established. An improved genetic algorithm is put forward, and makes it solving the model. Because considering a number of environmental factors, the model makes itself more convenient for practical application.
