ABSTRACT

With the improvement of people's living standards, food quality and safety are increasingly valued, which has further promoted the progress and upgrade of cold chain technology and facilities and equipment, and has made China's cold chain food industry increasingly prosperous. In order to solve the problem of unreasonable site selection of China's cold chain storage, we use the TOPSIS evaluation method to study the site layout of the national warehouse network of quick-frozen food production enterprises. First, the factors affecting the location of the cold chain logistics center were sorted out, and then the TOPSIS evaluation method was used to calculate weights of influencing factors for the construction of cold chain logistics centers in various regions of the country. Finally, the center of gravity method was used to find out the location of the cold chain logistics centers in each region, and the warehouse coordinates nationwide were obtained.
