Abstract: A material distribution method based on workstation group division. The method includes the following steps: step 1: performing statistics on the number and models of online products, and taking the number of the online products as an indicator of a production process; step 2: obtaining material requirements of each product according to a bill of materials (BOM) of the product; step 3: checking specific information on each type of material and transportation means according to the BOM, establishing a mathematical model according to the specific information and the number of materials consumed, and planning material distribution; step 4: planning a distribution route of each workstation group according to the workstation group division; step 5: establishing a mathematical model according to material attribute analysis, pick frequency analysis, inter-material correlation and a material storage mode to optimize a storage location of a warehouse; step 6: distributing materials according to a work flow.
