ABSTRACT

In the logistics activities, the distribution cost occupies a large proportion of the whole logistics cost, and the main factor that affects the cost is how to arrange the transportation route reasonably, so how to optimize the distribution route with reasonable methods is an important activity. Based on the establishment of the mathematical model of logistics distribution path optimization, this paper constructs the genetic algorithm to solve the problem. The results show that the optimal solution or approximate optimal solution can be obtained conveniently and effectively by using genetic algorithm to optimize the logistics distribution path, which is of practical significance for logistics enterprises to realize scientific and fast distribution scheduling and path optimization.
