碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 運輸與物流管理學系 / 102 / When entering an emerging market (such as China, India, and Brazil), an international company may initially focus on establishing the production plants as well as the upstream parts/raw material supply system and relay on local companies to be the sales agents taking care of the outbound physical distribution. However, once getting familiar with the business environment, the international company may consider to build up its own distribution system to improve profit margin and customer service. Under this context, based on a distribution system with four layers, this study deals with the location problem of the distribution centers (DCs), given the fixed locations of the suppliers, the plants, and the retailers. In particular, the integration of the supplier-plant and plant-DC transportation is a crucial factor in this strategic location decision problem. This study developed an mixed-integer programming (MIP) model and designed a heuristic solution algorithm based on Lagrangian Relaxation. In the numerical experiment, the solution quality of the developed algorithm was found to be close to optimality, and the computation time is acceptable in terms of strategic decision.
