Abstract:

This document considers the physical distribution function as an area for potential cost savings and improved performance. In particular, the Bay Area Local Delivery BALD System of the Naval Supply Center NSC, Oakland, California, was analyzed. The current method of operation has been compared to a number of alternative approaches and each, in turn, has been analyzed with a view toward effecting a system that would accomplish the local delivery function in an equivalent or better manner for less cost. Conclusions and recommendations have been made taking into account the assumptions developed, the research effort made, and the findings uncovered during the analysis.
