| Summary: | Reducing costs forces of companies to look for reserves also in field of management, support and
implementation of material flow. This is connected with the optimization of costs for product distribution, which forms
a significant part of the total cost of the company. In practice, it happens that making plans for distribution of materials
within a distribution space is left solely to the implementers of distribution and it drivers of vehicles. As a result is
uneconomic material distribution and unnecessary cost increases to his distribution. The objective of the paper is to
propose a methodology for optimization of transport planning from DC Prešov to the individual Tesco units within the
region that comes under this distribution centre. The methodology is based on the Clarke and Wright saving algorithm. |
