Abstract：To reduce inbound logistic cost of enterprises, aiming at minimizing running costs, three kinds of inbound logistic transportation modes: the direct transportation mode, the cross-dock transportation mode, and the milk-run transportation mode, were applied to the multi-suppliers and multi-manufactures (n-n) inbound logistic transportation problem. Then, the respective non-linear integer programming model was built and solved by simulated annealing algorithm. The solution coding scheme in this algorithm was m×n matrix coding scheme combining with the milk-run and the cross-dock. And the neighborhood selection process was designed based on three mutation operations. Finally, numerical examples verified the significant advantages of the proposed programming method and the validity of this proposed algorithm.
