The Research on Logistics System Design and Development of New Formats in Central Zone for Industry Growth

This paper establishes logistics system in the central economic zone, which make stable development of systematic logistics and format for the central zone, targeted, scientific and operational response options to streamline the logistics industry chain, optimizing logistics resources configuration, reducing logistics operating costs, mining profit source logistics, impedance logistics system risk, thus improving the overall logistics and economic operation quality and efficiency of the optimal policy plan. The results enrich the new form of logistics development theory, decision making for policy makers, and have important application value, significant social and economic benefits.

Hybrid Heuristics for Multiple Production Forward/Reverse Logistics System

We consider a multiple production two-stage forward/reverse logistics system design problem where a fixed number of capacitated distribution/reclaiming centers are to be located with respect to capacitated suppliers and retail locations while minimizing the total costs, and take the random of demand/reclaiming into consideration. We also provide hybrid heuristic procedures for the problem, and develop transshipment heuristic to improve the duration of the proposed approaches. Finally we present computational results that show the high performance and effectiveness of the solution approaches.
