Abstract
Planning of distribution facility, strengthening logistics functions, and designing a distribution network are essential to improving the efficiency of the logistics in the global economy. In order to do that, it will be important to understand the flow of goods. It is possible to understand the interregional trade that type of transportation mode and goods from distribution census data and gross traffic data in Japan. However, we can't understand the flow of goods via warehousing facilities. Distribution Centers with a warehousing function have an important influence on the flow of goods from production to consumption. This paper describe the logistics chain model, which split the production – consumption flow between direct goods and goods via warehousing facilities.
