Abstract
This article is conducting a study on the demand forecast from the distribution network system composed of m-distribution centers and n-retailers. We analyze the characteristics of the regional logistics network. Use the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm and gain the shortest path distribution, based on which the inventory demand forecasting model which can obtain the total demand of each distribution center is established. Finally, an example is given to show that the model is correct and feasible.
