Zonal Distribution is a logistics strategy where a geographic area is divided into zones, and inventory is allocated to distribution centers based on zone demand profiles. This approach helps reduce delivery times and transportation costs by placing stock closer to end customers. Effective zonal distribution requires detailed demand analysis and continuous monitoring to adjust inventory allocations dynamically. It supports higher service levels while optimizing inventory investment across the supply chain network.
