Goal Programming in Distribution System Design

  • Conference paper
Advances in Multiple Objective and Goal Programming

Abstract

In distribution system design we are dealing with multiple goals concerning three main sets of requirements for competitive distribution network: (a.) physical and organizational transportation of the demanded quantities of goods and/or services (b.) clients’ expectations to the product/service delivery time (c.) budget restrictions for organizing and maintaining the distribution network. The purpose of this paper is to present the Goal Programming (GP) approach to the designing of the distribution network for non consumer goods in one of Polish enterprises.
