|
|
|
location proves most important in competitive capabilities. Name some additional ways to become more competitive

Relative location change, lowering cost, improving service.
|
|
|
there are 6 steps to athe logistics network design process
|
1. define your logistics process.
2. Audit 3. Alternatives (look for an alternative) 4. location analysis 5. make your decision 6. develop your implementation plan |
|
|
step 2 in a logistics audit includes evaluating what?
|
goals and objectives,

|
|
step 3 in examining Logt alternatives includes what?
|
a valuable set of recommendations and 'what if' scenario's for a number of your desired objectives
|
|
|
step 4 is conduct a facility location analysis. this includes what?
|
demographic / location information and statistics for location selection. 3PL may be used for this.
|
|
|
step 6 is develop and implementation plan. What is this?
|
