Research on Distribution DSS Conceptual Framework of Textile Logistics in Textile Markets

This paper aims to study a distribution decision support system (DSS) conceptual framework for textile logistics, combining the operational requirements of logistics enterprises in textile markets to optimize vehicle surplus tonnage usage and distribution flexibility, using the integrated computer-aided manufacturing definition (IDEF) method and developing a comprehensive conceptual framework for textile logistics distribution decisions, complemented by an in-depth analysis of its underlying database structure. Further, this paper constructs the model base and proposes two vehicle-loading models and their solving algorithms, including one model with constraints on the maximum loading rate and the other with constraints on the smallest vehicle numbers, with these algorithms implemented by linear programming in operational research and performed by programming techniques. This paper also constructs the method base and designs some methods, such as the method of vehicle surplus tonnage utilization, the method of vehicle-loading priority order selection, and the simultaneous loading method of multi-freight cargo and multiple vehicles; these methods are implemented by the database principle and technological or programming techniques. We use a test distribution DSS conceptual framework to run the data example and obtain a good test result. The findings indicate that the DSS conceptual framework can integrate the model and method bases and can also solve the hard problems of the use of surplus tonnage vehicles and simultaneous loading.
