However, over the same period, retail sales remained fairly constant. In this paper, the authors argue that the shockwave throughout the industrial world was caused by the inventory policy adopted by manufacturing companies: due to the destocking and re-stocking practices, real demand was distorted along the value chain. The authors urge close monitoring of, and insight into, the real state of consumer demand to ensure the sustainability of the current economic recovery.

To understand the opportunities for Flanders to attract new distribution centres and to help companies to further develop their logistic activities, we develop a typology of logistic real estate. The purpose is to understand which typologies of distribution centres are situated in Flanders and which distribution centres

Then, it presents the exact solutions for special cases if L l = θ l = θ g = 0 and the Lagrange series for dual sourcing where one or both sources incur capacity costs as Propositions 15 and 16. The last part show the very detailed derivations of the single sourcing analysis and of the exact dual sourcing solutions to the first order conditions: the Cardano solution (L = 1 and L l = 0 on Companion Page 17); the Ferrari solution (L = 3 and L l = 0 for uncapacitated dual sourcing on Companion Page 20); and the Lagrange series (for the other cases).
