Centralized Distribution

Quelle: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/centralized-distribution.asp

Centralized Distribution is a logistics strategy in which all inventory is stored in one or a few central facilities and shipped from there to customers or regional distribution points. This model allows for economies of scale and streamlined inventory control, but may lead to longer transit times and higher transportation costs for distant locations.
