CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 General Overview of Study
Productions is deemed not complete unite the products reach the consumer in the right quantity, at the right place, at the tight price and in good condition. Owing to proliferation of compares in Nigeria, it becomes very essential to have an efficient distribution system so that goods produced gets to the consumer.
Basically the aim of any company is to minimize cost and maximize profit, in order to achieve this, a firm will have to identify the high cost generating centres and hence try to reduced them. Distribution activities generate cost, the aim of physical distribution management in firms is to bring to absolute minimum the total cost of distribution and at the same time achieve high customer services.
The word (”Distribution) is reference to the retiling on selling function means a vast firm which is composed of many thousand of outlets ranging in size form the small corner shop to large super markets, department stores and “ CS SH AND CARRY” ware houses all of which attempt to supply the needs of our consumer society.
So physical distribution management is concerned with the movement of raw materials and finished products from the suppliers to the manufacturer and customer (ie retailer).
