| Tiivistelmä: | As competition for volume shipments increases in the deregulated transportation environment, the rate differences between volume and less-than-volume shipments will increase. Thus, utilization of freight consolidation strategies may have significant positive effects on a firm's transportation performance. It is discussed how simulation can be used as an effective tool for managers in analysing alternative strategies. A model capable of replicating complex distribution system operations is presented. It is used to evaluate the effects of alternative consolidation strategies on a firm's distribution system performance. |
