Planning depot siting and capacity: A Case Study from the Food Industry

Abstract

In the first part of this feature, published in our last issue, the writer outlined the systems approach to the planning of a distribution network. This second part takes the form of a case study, and examines a company in the food industry confronted with the problem of planning its depot siting and capacity. But in any such exercise it is important to make full use also of management experience and judgment.
