Abstract：A bi-level distribution network model of multiple products under uncertain demands is proposed for minimizing distribution cost , inventory cost , shortage cost , and penalty cost .With actual situation taken into consideration , factory's production capacity constraints , minimum and maximum transfer quanti-ty constraints , minimum distribution quantity constraints are considered .Due to the complexity of the mod-el, a tabu search algorithm is proposed to solve the model .The correctness of the model is verified by a numerical example .By changing the regret value coefficient , the best robust solution is found for the nu-merical example .It takes less than 1.5 seconds to do so , which shows the efficiency of the proposed algo-rithm.This is significant for practical application .
