Abstract
In this paper, two core questions are studied regarding:(1) the location of a distribution center, and (2) the problem of selecting a distribution path. In the problem of the distribution center's location, a comprehensive consideration of various factors affecting site selection and the candidate point of distribution center is determined by spatial analysis of GIS. We then use the P-median Selecting Location Model to determine the distribution center. For the distribution path, we establish the road network topology using GIS technology combined with an algorithm and using the network analysis function to achieve the shortest path of distribution.
