Abstract
It is crucial for the whole logistics system and also for physical distribution facility planning to strike a balance-trade off-between customer services and cost of physical distribution. What must be considered first is how the difference in location of physical distribution facilities (i.e. place, figure, structure of physical distribution facilities) on physical networks effect customer services and costs.
The main purpose of this paper is to indicate the point for location evaluation, and to determine optimum locations for physical distribution facilities.
