Abstract
One of the key aspects of the Physical Internet (PI) is the use of standardized, modular containers that enable the coordination of shipments across the supply chain. However, a key open question is how will limiting the choice of containers impact the amount of volume that is shipped? We present a mathematical model to determine that impact and report our results for data sets that are based on data from a consumer packaged goods company.
