Small distribution warehouses: Are they the right answer?
Abstract
A recent seminar presented by the South Eastern branch of the IGD raised some controversial views on the optimum size of warehouses. One point of view put forward was that changing conditions in the grocery field created an advantageous environment for small warehouses. However, Tom Bevington of A.T. Kearney disagrees, and in this special feature he attacks the myths surrounding the support for the use of small distribution warehouses. He has been assisted in the preparation of this paper by two colleagues from A.T. Kearney — Mr. G.V. Hill and Mr. J.B.H. Scanlon.
