Research on Inventory and Distribution Collaborative Optimization of Building Materials Supply Chain

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, we discuss about the three logistics systems which consist of one manufacturer, one dealer and many customers. It is based on the particularity of the construction material consumption being slowly, we study the inventory and distribution coordination optimization problem based on the virtual inventory management. First of all, under the premise of analyzing the cost constitution of building material supply chain, we build a collaborative optimization model of inventory and distribution based on the minimum cost of the whole supply chain, and solve it by genetic algorithm. At last, by simulating the example whit Mat lab Software, we finish verifying the correctness and validity of the model, and get the minimum cost of the supply chain and the corresponding allocation scheme.
