Research on the logistics node location of Beijing Xinfadi branch center

Abstract

With the country's strong support for the logistics industry, the circulation of business accounts for more and more proportion of economy activities. Nowadays logistics companies are inclined to establish a wide range of radiation logistics network to achieve logistics service specialization and reduce the cost of logistics activities. For the establishment of logistics network, logistics node selection is the key. Logistics nodes are the infrastructure of the whole logistics network which plays a supporting role. The Beijing Xinfadi Market is the largest agricultural product distribution center in the north. It has been 30 years since the establishment of the Beijing Xinfadi Market. It will inevitably encounter various development issues and incongruous harmony with Beijing. Therefore, it is urgent to find a solution to ease the development of the market. In this paper, we first analyze the current situation of the market. Then, we discuss the alternative points of the logistics nodes and plans for the Beijing Xinfadi Market. Next, we select a branch center for the Xinfadi market by using the center-of-gravity method, which can ease the material flow of the current Beijing Xinfadi.
