Trunking Networks

LPC are able to undertake the detailed modelling required to optimise your network.

LPC will optimise the movement of product from one location to another, for example, back-loading from supplier to a factory location, as part of a distribution operation.

Trunking modelling can even be extended to include “via” points to represent:

  • Where loads are staged for onward movement by another resource
  • Empty container drop or collection
  • Tanker or pot wash between loads to avoid cross-contamination
Trunking modelling allows the closer modelling of real life and finds ways to optimise distribution across the country.
