Distribution Modelling

Abstract

The different types of modelling the physical distribution system or sub‐sectors of it which have been developed and are available are outlined. The ways in which they can be used by companies are then explained. Models allow experimentation with changes to the distribution system thus keeping the company's system as close to the optimum as possible. No company should assume their system remains viable over time; models allow examination and assessment of the impact of possible remedial action.
