Abstract

The development of e-commerce logistics is directly affected by the last mile distribution. It is important to discuss the optimal mode of the last mile distribution on express enterprises and find breakthrough to promote the sustainable development. Based on the decision-making index system of the last mile distribution on express enterprises, this paper uses TOPSIS method to quantitatively rank the last mile distribution modes of e-commerce logistics. The results show that based on the indexes of distribution capacity, cost, expected profit, feasibility analysis and customer satisfaction, the order of logistics distribution mode from high to low is self-delivery point construction mode, automatic pickup mode, joint distribution mode and third-party node alliance mode in proper order. Therefore, for express delivery enterprises, the self-delivery point construction mode can be the preferred terminal logistics distribution mode.
