Abstract
In Germany, the design of distribution networks for consumer goods has focused, in most companies in the last three years, on the extension of the current structure for supplying Eastern Germany. After the gradual changes of the eighties — concentration of the production locations, more frequent supply of smaller quantities, stagnation of rail transports — we were faced with a sudden additional increase of the volume and distances of transportation which has caused a crisis of the road traffic in Germany.
