摘要
Last Mile logistic distribution system is the final step in business-to-customer supply chain which needs careful investigation in order to efficiently and economically deliver goods to customers. This study is aimed at providing a conceptual planning approach of modelling a Last Mile system based on hierarchy which is particularly useful in routing planning of the system. The hierarchical modelling is implemented using the Petri net method which is suitable to the needs of the system being a discrete event dynamical system.
