Abstract :
In the logistics networks, the distribution center links the supply point and demand point, which severs as a bridge between them and it is very important. So a good location for distribution center can surely enhance the profits of logistics industry. After introducing the concept of distribution center and the significance of site testing, this paper proposed the principles and steps of site testing of logistics distribution center. Then, among the numerous site testing methods, we chose the Integer Programming method to select a site. Finally, through model establishment and model solving, we get the best location for city distribution center.
