Description
Abstract:The current Record of Study presents the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a company's network of distribution centers with the purpose of determining the convenience and the feasibility to reconfigure such a network. The study was performed with a multidisciplinary team of people within and outside of the organization. The distribution network was modeled in various forms and different solutions were obtained as new information was gathered from questionnaires, from observation and from the company's databases. Finally a recommendation was formulated to modify the current configuration of the distribution network and the feasibility to implement the suggested solution in practice was evaluated.
