Abstract

This project developed an optimization model to assess the benefits of hub capability in an international distribution network. Our model shows that a hub in this setting can provide savings of both holding and transportation costs. Hub capability can also provide companies with the flexibility to take advantage of potential savings in fluctuating environments.
