A cost to serve model has been developed to evaluate the performance of various design alternatives deriving from the field of "quantity adjustment" as the dependence of cost efficiency upon labour intensity at the warehouses and the truck volume utilization indicated. The research concludes upon the selection of the optimal design alternative to be implemented per customer as well as upon which design alternative is more suitable for clusters of customers that share specific characteristics.
