Abstract
Logistics distribution center are important logistics nodes and the choice of locations are critical management decisions. This study addresses a logistics distribution center location problem that aims at determining the location and allocation of the distribution centers. Considering the characteristic and complexity of problem, we propose an improved harmony search algorithm, in which we employ a novel way of improvising new harmony. The improved algorithm is compared with genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, generalized particle swarm optimization, and classical harmony search algorithm in solving a simulated distribution center location problem. Experiment results show that the improved algorithm can solve the logistics distribution center problem with more stable convergence speed and higher accuracy.
