Abstract
The optimization of already designed, real Milk-run Systems has hardly received any attention in the scientific literature yet, despite its substantial potentials. The hereinafter presented method allows for the first time the individual evaluation of Milk-run Systems by means of a system of performance indicators, the automatic sensitivity analysis of the input variables and the systematic optimization by means of a decision tree procedure. By using a modular MS Excel-Tool, a fast and comprehensible identification of the optimization paths is possible. A case study illustrates the potential benefits of the method and the tool for the user.
