It is because the product has the perishable characteristic, which is served by cold supply chain. In this characteristic, we need to face the problems encountered in the normal logistics system, and we need to additionally consider time limit and temperature control in order to avoid product damage when it is in any process of the delivery. AT the other Literature, The Solution option of reduce transport distances or shorten delivery time is one way, but in this study, It is using distribution problem to consider this situation. At the cross-dock distribution, Compared with tradition distribution it is be high efficiency and more flexible, lower inventory levels. The situation of the high holding cost or multiple product of the supply chain, the cross-dock distribution effect would be more evident. Therefore, This study consider cross-dock distribution effect and cold supply chain characteristics, Molding a new cross-dock network distribution model. Based on past literature, this study will use a Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm to solve problem.
