Study on Location and Route Optimization of Distribution Center of a Digital Company Based on Clustering Algorithm and Ant Colony Algorithm Method

Abstract

Aiming at the complex problem of logistics distribution, in order to achieve the shortest path and the least total cost, this paper analyzes and designs the logistics distribution network from the two aspects of distribution center location and path optimization. Firstly, the improved clustering algorithm is used to determine the distribution center, the corresponding supply point and distribution point of each distribution center, then the ant colony algorithm is used to optimize the path, and finally the distribution center and the corresponding distribution path are determined. In the end of this paper, the case analysis is carried out to find out the best distribution center and the shortest path, which gets an optimized distribution network, so as to achieve the purpose of the lowest cost.
