What would happen if something catastrophic happened to that node? You may already have a numerical goal in mind: for example, meeting a certain percentage of demand needs within a certain radius of a distribution center. Is there a point where multiple supply channels pass through a single location in your chain?

As a sensor node can be attached to nearly anything in a vehicle that a manager wants to keep track of, nearly any type of data can be collected. One of the possible strategies to reduce fuel consumption is to use sensors to study a vehicle’s acceleration, braking, idling and other habits that influence fuel efficiency.

In our work with clients, we often succeed in making an existing network more effective by removing a distribution node or two. It’s worth remembering, for example, that secondary distribution tends to generate higher transportation costs than primary distribution.
