LOCATION DECISIONS
Location decision focus on selecting the number and location of distribution centres. Typical management questions:-
How many distribution centers should the firm use and where should they be located?
What customers or market areas should be serviced from each distribution center?
Which product lines should be produced or stopped at each plant or distribution center?
What logistics channels should be used to source material and serve international markets?
What combination of public and private distribution facilities should be used?
