Long-Term Configuration Planning
Strategic network and outlet design are coherent strategic problems that cover all
configuration areas and define layout structures of the entire network. Network
planning includes strategic procurement logistics, warehouse design, distribution
planning and outlet planning. As a result, network planning constitutes the form,
structure and efficiency of the whole retail SC (Gill and Bhatti 2007). It defines
the relations between suppliers, retailers and customers (Levy and Grewal 2000).
Figure 2.3 summarizes the strategic planning areas for the convergent and divergent
product flows.
Long-term configuration planning shapes the entire enterprise, needs to be
embedded in the environment and needs to be highly tailored to the retailer’s overall
philosophy and strategy.
