A Guide to Computer-Assisted Methods for Distribution Systems Planning.

摘要

Every firm that ships a variety of products from several plants (or other supply sources) through a number of warehouses (or distribution centers) to a widely dispersed clientele has a continuing need to monitor and readjust its distribution system in response to changing conditions. The purpose here is to provide a nontechnical guide to the evaluation of available computer-assisted approaches and models for distribution system planning.
