摘要：The economic crisis which started in 2007 has caused damaging effects to most international companies. Inseveral EU countries, foreign investments decreased and international companies closed or relocatedproduction and/or distribution centres, due to cost reduction measures. This paper is aiming to demonstratethat applying a performant solution in defining the supply chain strategy can be a low cost process, whichcan generate positive effects on the sales and revenues. The research objective is to present a concretesolution for redesigning the supply chain, in order to achieve the optimal delivery strategy. The solutionimplies the use of mathematic methods, for determining the optimum location for placing a centralwarehouse, in a geographic region. The use of an optimum delivery strategy leads to lower depositing andtransport costs, which generates positive effects on sales, by offering more competitive prices on products.The main contribution of the author is the development of a model, used to identify the optimal location forplacing a central warehouse.
