This volume develops an understanding of the importance of distribution to the majority of manufacturing companies and how it affects almost all aspects of company policy; the issue of distribution channels both at home and overseas; how production and warehousing interact with the chosen distribution system; how stocks can be controlled and how stocks can be moved from one location to another. In addition to the manufacturing perspective, the book also considers the main distribution channels open to the manufacturer within the international markets. Each section ends with a series of cases which can be used to explore some of the issues raised in the book.
