Abstract

Abstract

In order to improve the layout objectivity of distribution center of logistics and running efficiency of logistics, decrease the disposal cost of logistics, the layout shortcomings of traditional distribution centers of logistics were analyzed, the effects of all kinds of stochastic factors on the layout of distribution center of logistics were studied, and a virtual simulation design method was put forward.According to the coordinated real parameters of the layout, the scale, running processes and planar layout of the center were confirmed, its design schemes were proposed, its running processes were simulated, its spatial efficiency, working capability, running efficiency and running cost were computed, and the schemes were evaluated.Applied result shows that the precision of the method is high, the optimized scheme by using the method accords with real condition.
