Building distribution strategies using distribution supply chain modelling

Distribution supply chain model is an analytical model developed to investigate the impact that different physical network configurations have on the total distribution cost of Company XYZ as well as on its delivery turn-around-time. The model attempts to represent the distribution supply chains i...
