Location-Allocation Model for Logistics Networks with Implementing Commonality and Postponement Strategies

Abstract

Abstract — Logistics networks configuration is such kind of problems concerning facility location, production and distribution planning along the whole process of material flow. Abundant research has been done in this field from modeling by considering different scenarios to methods such as different heuristic methods. However, the models do not consider the influence of the important postponement strategy on logistics networks in the era of mass customization. Furthermore, the multi-commodity models till now do not consider the influence of commonality among products. In this paper, a logistics network model considering product commonality and postponement is formulated. This model is expected to be used to analyze the impacts of commonality and postponement strategies on location-allocation decisions in logistics network planning. Index Terms—logistics network planning, location allocation, commonality, postponement. I.
