What kind of retailers would be best suited to direct deliveries from manufacturers? What kind of retailers would be better served by milk run deliveries?

W4: Outbound Operations

This is a continuation of our peeling back the layers of detail that cover all supply chains.

We have two questions this week that address the direct delivery of goods to stores and to your home. And in today’s climate of home delivery, the options for answering these questions are everywhere.

1. What kind of retailers would be best suited to direct deliveries from manufacturers?
2. What kind of retailers would be better served by milk run deliveries?

And as always, you can find other sources of support for your choice. And, maybe be creative. You can use a retailer in the U.S. or elsewhere!
