A Dynamic Analysis of Distribution Network for SCP

As development of the e-commerce, the distributing network for a logistics currency is more complicated. A management of the distributing network (DN) is important factor in distribution planning. The DN can be expressed to distribution center (DC) and the interaction of DC. An internal factor of DC and an external factor to occur by an interaction of DC have many influences on the DN. Therefore, for an efficient DN management plan, analysis of the DN that considered DC and an interaction of DC is required. Until now a study on a viewpoint of supply chain management as resources assignment was performed, but the study on analysis of the distribution network was not performed. This paper propose the distribution network analysis technique that considered DC and an interaction of DC. A proposed technique consists of two steps largely. First of all a DN is expressed with the graph that included an interaction of DC and DC. It uses a reachibility tree, and the following, a DN expressed with a graph is analyzed. Also we presented an example model, and show an usefulness of proposal technique with the analysis of this model.
