BEST NETWORKS: The service a warehouse network can provide is the time it takes to deliver products to customers. This depends on the distance from the network to them. The above networks are "best" because they are the lowest possible average distance to the US population. 0f course, an individual company's warehouse network should be designed to be low cost and to serve their specific customers (which may be different from the US population).

EXAMPLE: In the best two-warehouse network above with Chillicothe, OH and Mojave, CA shipments to everyone in the US would range  from very short distances to hundreds of miles. The average   distance is 486 miles. Furthermore, this is the lowest possible average distance in any two-warehouse network.

FREE   EVALUATION: Send us your warehouse locations for a free evaluation. We'll compute the service your network  provides, contrast that with the '1O Best', determine where your next warehouse(s) should be located and what additional service this would achieve for you. We'll also determine which warehouse(s) you may want to eliminate if you wish.
