Abstract: Location of Physical Distribution Networks: A Continuous Approach (Karl Mosler)

   
     
This paper is about freight networks for distributing materials from one or several origins to a large number of destinations. Origins are manufacturing plants or suppliers, while destinations are sites of consumption or further manufacturing. A distributional system includes depots, trunks leading from plants to depots, and delivery lines from depots to consumption sites which together make up a distributional network. Our research focuses on the task: Determine the number and site of depots and network lines as well as the size of shipments. Our goal is to minimize the total costs of trunking and delivery as well as depots which include costs of production, of transportation and trunking and delivery, as well as costs of storage at plants, depots and customers.
