A distribution network should be evaluated along two dimensions. The first is value provide to the customer; the second,

Which facility modeling technique evaluate potential facility locations both quantitatively and qualitatively?

Which network design decision phase has as an objective the identification of the region where facilities will be located, their potential roles and approximate capacity?

Which step in the new facility location hierarchy would the environmental impact assessment occur?

Which network design decision phase evaluates "hard" and "soft" infrastructure requirements?

A customer set that can tolerate longer "response" times generally requires fewer location within the distribution network.

The steps taken to move and store a product from supplier to the customer is called:
