Network design principles

Understand how to decide on the optimal mode of transportation be it land, sea or air. Explore the different types of distribution networks and fulfilment, such as drop-ship and manufacture and combine. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each type of network, and how to choose the right type of distribution network and fulfilment method for your business.

Learn how to model multi-echelon supply chains, managing the trade-offs in network design, and building an optimal distribution network. Master techniques to optimize the location of facilities in your distribution network using quantitative methods, including K-Means clustering.
