Abstract: | A major cost element in the logistics of distributed warehousing is transportation cost. In most practical systems, the transportation costs are volume-dependent. The unit transportation costs are usually determined differentially among intervals of shipment volumes. While the unit cost is constant over an interval, it follows a stepwise declining pattern from an interval to the next higher interval of shipment volumes. |
