Optimal Design of Logistics Distribution Network Considered the Node's Inoperative Affair

No logistics distribution network can avoid node's inoperative affair caused by natural calamities, operational thunderbolts and contrived events completely, and once it happened, related enterprises will suffer tremendous loses because of supply disruption. In the process of optimizing logistics distribution network, the influences of node's inoperative affair and the corresponding operation tactics are taken into account in this article in advance, an optimal model of logistics distribution network having the constraint of allowable recovery time is built, the number and the locations of various facilities, the allocation of corresponding goods flows are decided upon hereby, so that the logistics distribution network can recover to normal supply in time even in the case of node's inoperative affair. The objective is minimizing the sum of investment and operational costs.
