Abstract

The development of logistics in developed countries should be earlier than us, and it is more mature in theory and practical application. Domestic logistics development is relatively late, but logistics research has also become a hotspot in recent years. The distribution center of logistics is also becoming a hot spot. The article combines the existing research results and summarizes the selection path, location layout and storage strategy, which can be used as a reference for future research.
