Considering the consumers'requirement of delivery time,this paper studies the optimization of location inventory routing problem.Based on the model of location inventory routing problem without time window constraint in logistics optimi-zation,a model of location inventory routing problem with soft time window is built,and an improved simulated annealing algo-rithm embedded taboo search algorithm is put forward to solve the model.An example is given to confirm the correctness of the model and the effectiveness of the solutions.By comparing our algorithm with the taboo search and simulated anne...
