Abstract:

In order to effectively integrate the logistics resources and realize the goal of reducing the total cost and the negative utility of the logistics park in different periods, a dynamic location model of multi-cycle coal logistics parks is built, based on the minimum cost of coal logistics network and the minimum of negative utility. The global optimal solution is obtained by using Lingo 11.0 to solve multiple iterations. Based on the actual sales and transportation data of Shanxi coal group in 2014, 6 candidate logistics parks and 18 customers are selected. Aiming at 4 different periods, the location and distribution of the logistics parks make the cost savings by 35%, and the scientific nature of the model is verified.

Key words: coal logistics, dynamic site location, multi-objective and multi-period, Lingo 11.0, Shanxi Province Yangquan Coal Group
