Abstract

Given the intense competition in the market, modern economic system is filled with more and more uncertainties. Logistics system is a support system of social economy, connecting social production and consumption. When a problem occurs in some parts of the logistics system, it can lead to social and economic collapse. Therefore, it is important to study the reliability of the logistics system. This paper focuses on network reliability of typical logistics system. Firstly, the logistics system is classified into two types. And a detailed description of the role of logistics unit in the two types of the logistics system is made. The computation method on reliability of the four kinds of typical logistics system is then derived based on the calculation and mathematical model of reliability of typical system. Finally, a specific case is given to illustrate the calculation of the reliability.
