Abstract

This paper studies a large supermarket chains, which using of logistics simulation software ExSpect to test the model performance and simulation experiment. It constructs logistics distribution business process model based on Petri net tools, analyzes the enterprise distribution business process, and then puts forward the improvement process optimization scheme according to the simulation data. Comparing the simulation optimization model with before, validated the proposed solution which based on Petri net to solve the logistics business process reengineering and optimization is effective and practical.
