Research On Joint Distribution Of Chain Retail Enterprises

Now in our country, logistics is transforming from traditional to modern.The research on the joint distribution just stays on the first stage. Especiallywhen the chain enterprises grow up, they face the problems : how to deal withthe increase of circulation of commodities, and how to win within thecompetitions. It is urgent for the chain enterprises to formulate their logisticsmanagement, and look for the right distribution modes. The chain enterprisescan use the joint distribution as a tool to optimize the resources, reduce the cost,improve the effectiveness and the customer service level, grow economicstrength, at last ,win in the competitions. Joint distribution system is the Nervenetwork of the chain enterprise. As the basic operation establishment,distribution center which is the Nerve hub of thejoint distribution ,plays animportant role in joint distribution. And keeping with distribution andtransportation by the joint distribution center's efficient operation so that theycan get efficient distribution system to develop the chain management advantageand realize the scale operation effect.This paper analyzed the characteristics and the application of logisticstechnologies in chain retail enterpeises, studied the patterns, characters andoperation methods of some latest jiont distribution, furthermore, researched howto apply joint distribution into chain retail enterpeises. As a result, an applicablejoint distribution system is put forward, which is suitable for the chain retailenterpeises. On this basis, the focus is on the following two questions:(1) Discuss the algorithms of available vehicle routing in joint distributionsystem, especially some important algorithms fitting for distribution charactersin garment industry. And set up the mathematical model of the joint distributionsystem for chain retail enterpeises by applying the Dijkstra Algorithm andmodified Genetic Algorithm. (2) Study how to select an optimal way to assignthe extra profits among all the parts,which are gained by Joint distribution. Thepaper gives an answer to the problem in joint distribution of chain retailenterpeises by using the game theories.This paper has theoretical significance and practice value for the development of joint distribution for our country's chain enterprises, which is able to optimize resources and decrease logistics cost so as to improve the competition ability of the chain enterprises. Joint distribution is the new field of modern logistics research. On the base of the research, the author will continue to track the foreland of joint distribution. Moreover, the author will widen the research ideas and further the research on joint distribution.
