Abstract

Ongoing assessment and effective cost reduction for the transport of goods is one of the basic tasks of a management in companies. The paper presents the approach to transport costs reduction by establishing of a distribution warehouse in an appropriate location. Suitable location of a distribution warehouse is realized by applying three geometrical methods – by using axial distance, quadratic distance and by using Cooper's iterative method, based on the selected coordinate system. There are compared results and calculated objective function for the place of allocation and evaluated reduced transport costs at the end of the paper.
