| Abstract: | The costs, benefits and strategic role of intermediate echelons in distribution networks are not well understood in many industries. This paper describes a study of such multilevel systems in the industrial paper and plastics industry. The authors quantify the impact of redistributors who buy products from manufacturers and sell them exclusively to other distributors. The methodology was applied to an industry-wide study. The authors derived statistics based on optimal distributor policies for channel choice and stock control. |
