Abstract：

Retail companies in the U.S. spend approximately $14 billion per year on inventory interest, insurance, 

taxes, depreciation, obsolescence, and warehousing. Their logistics activities account for 15% ~20% 

of the total cost of finished goods. With such a huge logistics investment, it is important to make 

sound decisions for facility locations and inventory allocation in a supply chain. The design and

management of supply chain network in today’s competitive business environment is also one

of the most important and difficult problems that managers face.
