Abstract
In local areas, there are many small companies that can make and sell goods. They supply goods marked by their strong individuality. But, their stores are few, and their profit is greatly affected by customer needs. On the other hand, convenience stores have many goods categories and they are dotted about the area. Therefore, convenience store becomes conspicuous recently. In previous study, mutual supply system was proposed with consideration of supplying many goods categories and goods marked by their strong individuality. This system's objective is to provide sales opportunities for small companies. In this paper, we make a comparison between route delivery and distribution center delivery for logistics of the mutual supply system. We show the formulation of distribution costs and also consider delivery truck capacity.
