The break quantity rule's effect on inventory costs in a 1-warehouse, N-retailers distribution system

Article Abstract:

The effect of the break quantity rule on the inventory costs of a single-warehouse, N-retailers distribution system has been studied. The break quantity deals with the delivery of large orders from the warehouse and small orders from the nearest retailer. Results indicate that cost reduction is significantly influenced by the number of retailers, the warehouse-retailer lead time and the variability of the order sizes. It has also been observed that large orders are better for the three parameters concerned.

The transfer format serves as the common standard for differentiating open and closed Electronic data interchange (EDI) solutions. Open EDI fosters market coordination by engaging lower market transaction costs and enabling the ready accessibility of more partners. Nonetheless, local adaptations launched with the EDI system, either involving the technical framework or business processes, will play at least an equally crucial part.
