Distribution
Distribution is understood in the logistics area as essentially the physical separation of goods.
Brief description
In addition to development, procurement, production and utilization logistics, distribution logistics is gaining increasing importance. It deals with all the processes of distributing a company's goods to partners or consumers in the supply chain. Here, too, the premise again applies - for the sake of keeping up with delivery - to deliver goods at the right time and in the right quality and quantity to the right place.
Thanks to the expanded cooperation of companies, in parallel to Supply Chain and Quick Response, ECR (Efficient Consumer Response) and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) in connection with distribution are also gaining more and more importance. The desired or offered delivery service here determines decisively the logistics costs within the logistics chain. Logistics costs in distribution logistics that need to be optimized consist of the following items: warehouse costs, transportation costs, resources and order fulfillment costs.
