Analyze the primary drivers of logistics network design, including providing rationale to support the placement of a warehouse in a logistical system

Solution

the primary driver for evaluating a logistic network design is sometimes an effort to reduce cost, sometimes an effort to improve service, and often, both. the right network design optimizes transportation, distribution operations, and inventory investment to strike the ideal balance of cost and service.

usually the analysis starts with the following activities:

planning the network nodes

planning the inventory levels and the selection of location

and deciding the transportation nodes.

the warehouse should be in a place where it is easy to cover and reach, less harm to the society and lesser cost to the firm.
