    Distribution Network Modeling

    A Proven Approach To Reducing Overall Supply Chain Costs

Distribution Network Modeling is the process of evaluating a current or potential distribution network infrastructure to determine the trade-off between service level performance and total cost associated with providing a given service level.

Ultimately it helps to answer the questions of how many distribution centers should be operating, where they should be located and what functions they should have.  It also determines the cost to operate alternative network configurations at varying levels of service performance.
