Abstract

With the development of the economic globalization, Hub-and-Spoke logistics network has become the effective network structure which could help to collaborate logistics resource, reduce logistics cost and improve operational efficiencies. Therefore, research on location and routing distribution for Hub-and-Spoke logistics network is particularly important. This paper focused on hub location and routing distribution for Hub-and-Spoke logistics network. According to the theory of queuing theory, the hub location is optimized and the design of flow distribution under deliver time requirements is investigated which based on minimizing the total cost in the networks. By reducing the waste of resources in the process of the shipments transportation, the operation efficiency of logistics network is improved and network operators and customers to achieve a win-win objective.
