| Abstract: | Distribution systems with a depot and many geographically dispersed retailers are considered each of which faces external demands occuring at constant, deterministic but retailer specific rates. All the stock enters the system through the depot from where it is distributed to the retailers by a fleet of capacitated vehicles combining deliveries into efficient routes. Inventories are kept at the retailers but not at the depot. Determined are feasible replenishment strategies, inventory rules and routing patterns, minimising (infinite horizon) long-run average transportation and inventory costs. |
