A two-stage layout method for functional areas in logistics park:

摘要

The layout of functional areas has a great impact on the implementing of a logistics park. Existing layout models with multiple planning objectives and influencing factors are too complex to be solved. This article puts forward a two-stage layout method for functional areas in logistics parks combining a layer-by-layer analysis process and a multi-objective programming model. Base on the rational setting of functional areas, the optimization of operational processes and the quantification of the interrelations between functional areas, some green logistic goals are achieved in two stages. In the first stage, the method aims at maximizing the comprehensive relationship among functional areas and obtaining the layout structure by the layer-by-layer analysis process. In the second stage, a multi-objective planning model is established to get the location and shape of each functional area, with the goals of minimizing the material handling costs and maximizing the spatial utilization rate.
