Abstract: It is very important to design a secure and efficient logistics service network for the fourth party logistics (4PL). The 4PL resilient network design problem was studied, and a model of 4PL network design was established, which minimized the total costs objective to the resilience constraint. For the NP characteristics of the problem, a hybrid particle swarm optimization with iterative local search method was developed and the performance of the algorithm was tested by randomly generated examples. The experiments verify the validity of the model and indicate that the PSO_ILS outperforms the classic PSO and has robustness against the main parameters.

Key words: the fourth party logistics, resilience, network design, particle swarm optimization, iterated local search
