Abstract

A logistics centre is the specific area where commercial operators carry out all activities dedicated to transport, logistics, and goods distribution - both for national and international transit. Selecting suitable logistics centre location is very important for obtaining optimal solutions for a country's logistics infrastructure. This may involve many various decision criteria to decide where each logistics centre should be established. Therefore, valid criteria should be identified and a proper methodology implemented. Given the importance of the topic, this study conducted a systematic literature survey to classify relevant articles. The systematic literature review was completed in two stages. First, the main decision criteria are considered in the evaluation process; second, the most common evaluation methods for the logistics centre location decision are examined. Last, the discussion is performed whether logistics centre location problem is still relevant.
