The vehicle routing problem is an important issue for distribution center(DC). The DC schedules the fleet of vehicles according to the orders. However, under dynamic environment, the order is uncertainly that leads to inefficient vehicle routing. This study integrating mobile commerce platform and distribution network information and establish an on-line distribution information system for fresh food industry. The distribution network model is considering both of forward and reverse logistic in a tour. An operation cost model was proposed which includes three parts namely vehicle fixed cost, vehicle variable cost and inventory cost. Apply the ant algorithm to get nearly optimal routes for vehicles. By two-way communication between DC and the retailers, the vehicles can achieve more efficient tour than traditional method. Through the integrated on-line distribution information system, the logistic problems encountered by fresh food industry can be solved efficiently. For practice, this model can minimize the operation cost, inventory and promotes the delivery process efficiency. For academic, this study provides a new method in design distribution network for integrated forward and reverse Logistic. |
