Performance Measurement for Inventory Routing
The authors discuss technology to measure inventory routing distribution strategies' effectiveness. Volume delivered per mile is just one practical, popular performance measure that measures absolute performance inadequately and relative performance effectively. The authors discuss a methodology to satisfy customer demand over time through tight lower bound computation of total mileage required. Companies will be able to learn about their distribution strategy effectiveness as a result.
