Becker and R. Arnold}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The design of distribution logistics has a decisive impact on a company's logistics costs and performance. Hence, such solutions make an essential contribution to corporate success. This article describes a decision support system for analyzing the potential of distribution logistics in terms of logistics costs and performance. In contrast to previous procedures of business process re-engineering (BPR), this method maps distribution logistics holistically under variable distribution structures. Combined with qualitative measures the decision support system will contribute to a more efficient design of distribution logistics. }, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {4}, year = {2016}, pages = {1108 - 1114}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10004114}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/112}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 112, 2016}, }
