The distribution system would initially look very different to the longer term solution. Over time the new system would give cause to a dramatic change in
- population
- better education
- the security of old age provision for everyone would eliminate the need for children to be providers for their ageing parents and support to mothers would make them les dependent on their husbands and on having many children.
- a trend towards urbanisation - more people are expected to choose living in the countryside in their own homes
- brand based stores would no longer exist; competitive stores would cease to exist.
In the short term existing stores would largely be used, but those underutilized in their capacity would be consolidated and over time a new sales and distribution system would need to be developed, based on the three drivers shown above.
The distribution would look at the proximity to customers, an efficient use of resources and an effective presentation and delivery of the goods on offer.
The distribution depends on a well designed transportation system and associated infrastructure.
Initially the present modes of transportation would be used, but effective immediately the communal transport would have to become customer freindly and more communal taxis would be made available, especially for the elderly and disabled.
The cars on offer would be reduced through better car sharing
