Integrated Logistics Systems with Distribution Resources Planning

Abstract

Planning systems are only as good as their interface with the distribution function. If distribution is having an adverse effect on the overall logistics system, then we have a “systems gap”. What is then needed is the use of distribution requirements planning (DRP), a powerful method with which to integrate the logistics systems of organisations.
