The Concept and Cost Elements of Physical Distribution

Abstract

The fundamental aim of any distribution system must be to provide the necessary levels of customer service, so as to maintain and expand profitable business, at the minimum total cost compatible with such service levels. All other objectives, in any distribution organisation, should directly or indirectly contribute towards achieving this basic aim.
