Abstract :
Abstract-Linking the tobacco manufacturers and the end retail consumers, cigarette distribution does not only represent the service level of logistics, but also concerns the overall operation efficiency of an enterprise. However, problems such as poor management and high cost of distribution still exist and need to be solved urgently. Therefore, cigarette distribution centers must gradually promote the distribution efficiency through stronger efforts in cost control, optimization of distribution operations and reasonable selection of distribution approaches. These efforts are bound to promote the competitiveness and play an extremely significant role and reflect their long-term values in realizing the sustainability of the tobacco industry as a whole.
