Abstract：Aiming at the personnel allocation problem in the express company, a method which could forecast the express delivery quantity with the time series seasonal coefficient method and analyze the personnel and vehicle factors in the process of express handling and distribution under the conditions of serving the same and different kinds of customers was proposed. For the same kind of customers, the quantity of both express handling personnel and distribution personnel in the distribution center was adjusted with the proposed method, and thus the goal of minimizing the express remainder was achieved. For the different kinds of customers, the quantity of distribution personnel was adjusted, and thus the goal of minimizing the cost of distribution center was achieved. In addition, the mathematical model was established. The model was solved with the particle swarm algorithm, and the simulation test was performed with the examples. Furthermore, the optimal way for the personnel allocation in the distribution center is obtained, which can guide the reasonable operation of companies.
