An investigation into the influence of the physical distribution concept on the performance of certain South African manufacturers of consumer productsStaude, G E January 1981 (has links)
The "Physical Distribution Concept" is being increasingly recognised as a vitally important business philosophy for those firms for which efficient physical distribution is critical to marketing success. Manufacturers of products which are perishable, easily substitutable; and/or quickly obsolescent are some which fall into this category. In a competitive business environment, factors such as the " availability" of the product, and not simply its price or quality, begin to exert a significant influence on the purchasing decision. The "Physical Distribution Concept" comprises three elements, namely, consumer orientation; organizational integration and profit orientation. "Physical Distribution Orientation" refers to the predisposition of the firm and its employees to these three elements. For the Physical Distribution Concept to serve as an effective guide to management action, a physical distribution orientation on the part of all those concerned with marketing and physical distribution-related activities in a firm, is a pre-requisite. The chief executive, in particular, should adhere to this business philosophy, regardless of the functional route he followed to his position. In his leadership role, theory holds that he exerts considerable influence on his subordinates, and consequently on his firm's way of doing business. This thesis is concerned with an analysis of the Physical Distribution Concept. It focuses on the chief executives of firms manufacturing consumer convenience goods, as well as consumer shopping goods. As such, it is primarily concerned with determining the extent to which the chief executives are physical distribution oriented and whether there is a statistically significant relationship between their extent of physical distribution orientation and their companies' performance. The thesis is also concerned with the extent to which any pattern of organizational arr angements for physical distribution exists.

Establishment of benefits and pitfalls of remote monitoring in a distribution service environmentVan der Walt, Izak J. B. 12 September 2012 (has links)
M.Phil. / Remote monitoring is a process, which involves the gathering of information remotely from a customer's site, a production process or the location of a transport vehicle to reduce the operating costs and improve operational efficiency. In this research document, an investigation into the various remote monitoring options available in the market as well as the viability of using remote monitoring systems in the gases distribution industry will be done.

Testing a heuristic that determines customer service level in a two-echelon inventory systemHofmann, Nadine Elisabeth January 1985 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to test, via a GPSS simulation, a heuristic developed by B.A. Rosenbaum. The heuristic determines the level of service a customer receives in a multi-echelon inventory system. The system consists of one central Distribution Centre (DC) which is the source of supply for eight Regional Distribution Centres (RDC's), which themselves are the source of supply for customer demand. Service is defined to be the fraction of demand met from on-hand stock at the location where the order is placed.
Two distinct sets of tests on the heuristic are performed in this thesis. First, a wide range of parameter values are used in the simulations to test the sensitivity of the assumptions essential in the development of the heuristic. Second, the robustness of the heuristic is examined when different assumptions are substituted in the inventory system analysed.
The analysis indicates the heuristic performs fairly well under various conditions. In particular, increasing the order size or reducing the number of warehouses in the system yield calculated values predictive of the simulated results. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

Three essays in supply chain managementSosic, Greys 11 1900 (has links)
The three essays in this thesis address various problems in the general area of supply
chain management. In general, supply chain management is concerned with management
of the flow of goods, information, and funds among supply chain members, such as
suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. As such, its scope
includes timing and quantity of material flow, logistics, improving efficiencies in
problems with several decision makers, etc. The first essay in this thesis considers the
problem of improving coordination in a decentralized system of retailers, while the
second one addresses stability and profitability of Internet-based supply exchange
alliances. The third essay analyzes a logistics problem, of finding an optimal route for a
capacitated vehicle which travels on a graph and which can perform pickups and
deliveries.
In the first essay, we study a three-stage model of a decentralized distribution system
with n retailers who each faces a stochastic demand for an identical product. In the first
stage, before the demand is realized, each retailer independently orders her initial
inventory. In the second stage, after the realization of the demand, each retailer decides
what portion of her residual supply/demand she wants to share with the other retailers. In
the third stage, residual inventories are transshipped in order to possibly meet residual
demands, and an additional profit is allocated among the retailers. We study the effect of
implementing various allocations rules in the third stage on the levels of the residual
supply/demand the retailers are willing to share with others in the second stage, and the
tradeoff involved in achieving a solution which is also optimal for the corresponding
centralized system.
The second essay is concerned with the formation of Internet-based supply exchange
alliances among three or fewer retailers of possibly substitutable products. We provide
some conditions, in terms of product substitutability and quality of suppliers, which
would lead to the formation of a three member alliance, or a two member alliance, or no
alliance at all. We also study the effect of alliance structure and quality of suppliers on
the profit of a retailer.
The third essay considers a vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPD
problem) on some special graphs. Some vertices on the graph represent delivery
customers, and other vertices represent pickup customers. The objective is to find a
minimum length tour for a capacitated vehicle, which starts at a depot and travels on the
graph while satisfying all the requests by the customers without violating the vehicle
capacity constraint, and returns to a depot. We have developed linear time algorithms for
the VRPD problem on a path and on tree graphs, linear and O (|V| log |V|) algorithm for a
VRPD problem defined on a path with parametric initial capacity, and quadratic and
O (|V|² log |V|) algorithms for a VRPD problem defined over a cycle graph. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate
