Abstract

This study utilized the Flexsim simulation software to simulate the existing layout and functions of different functional areas in the A e-commerce logistics distribution center, and determined the simulation scheme. In particular, a comparative analysis is conducted on the impact of the combination of influencing factors of different picking strategies on the efficiency of picking operations, as well as the gradual optimization of the number configuration of intelligent handling equipment, to meet the operational requirements while ensuring operational efficiency and reducing costs. Through the collection and analysis of simulation data and the comparison of optimization plans, the bottleneck links and resource waste problems of the A e-commerce logistics distribution center are improved, effectively enhancing the overall operational efficiency and service quality.
