Changing patterns due to fuel costs

Fuel price volatility has significant impact on distribution network design. Roughly 25% of supply chain costs are in transportation. As outbound transportation becomes more expensive, it becomes more important to minimize distances. In Florida we expect this to reinforce the desirability of a DC location on the I-4 corridor between population concentrations in Tampa Bay and the greater Orlando area.ED & Dee
