However, only when the interests are reasonably distributed can the sharing mode be implemented for a long time. This paper discusses the connotation of unified warehouse and distribution, designs the operation mode of a unified warehouse and distribution, and solves the profit distribution problem of a unified warehouse and distribution alliance based on the improved Shapley value method. Firstly, the traditional Shapley value method is improved by using a comprehensive correction factor, including the proportions of investment, risk, and innovative research contributions. Secondly, each factor\u2019s weight is determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and the profits are distributed according to the contribution of each express enterprise to the alliance. Finally, an example is given to verify the validity of the modified algorithm. It proves that the modified Shapley value method can effectively solve the problem of profit distribution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a14020050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,4]],"date-time":"2021-02-04T12:02:10Z","timestamp":1612440130000},"page":"50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Common Warehouse Model and Profit Distribution of the Express Industry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9897-4927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Modern Post, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0360-2341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Modern Post, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4660-2085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xilong","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Modern Post, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wang, L.
