Basic Models for Solving Distribution Center Location Problems: A Review

Distribution is one of the important parts in logistics. This article shortly presents the source, extension and deep research about distribution center location problem. It focuses on basic models of this problem and discusses the establishment of model about distribution center location problem under electronic commerce. It also points out future research directions about this problem.
