Abstract
The choice of the transport mode is a fundamental part of distribution management which should be analysed carefully because of the impact upon a company's operational efficiency. Failure to identify the most appropriate transport mode may incur higher costs than are necessary and may provide a lower customer service level than is potentially possible. The decision upon the choice of the transport mode is extremely complex because of the vast volume of choice available together with the numerous methods of examination and evaluation of each choice.
