The distribution of medical supplies is a typical optimization problem. In this paper, we model and study the problems related to the distribution of medical supplies based on the pharmaceutical logistics order data of Shanxi Sinopharm Group. An improved genetic algorithm model is developed to mathematically model the medical supplies distribution route scheme, with "weight of supplies and medical supply points" as the decision variables and constraints, and to determine "the lowest cost for transport vehicles across all locations". The "medical supply route" is coded and the medical supply route is optimised using a genetic algorithm. Finally, the optimal solution of "the transport vehicle can traverse all locations at the lowest cost" is calculated. Based on this analysis, we make recommendations to the company regarding the distribution of medical supplies. Finally, an optimal solution is calculated for "the transport vehicle that can travel to all locations at the lowest cost". Based on the above analysis, we have made our own recommendations to companies for the distribution of medical supplies, which can be used for more complex environmental route planning problems.
