Insourcing Model for Food Storage and Forwarding

Abstract

The result of a joint study accomplished by the Institute of Enterprise Management at the Budapest Tech and the Department of Logistics and Forwarding at the Széchenyi István University is published in this paper. The aim of the research was to examine the Hungarian logistic market in the point of view of food forwarding and storage. In this approach we were interested in food with special demands as well. Chilled or frozen food transport and storage require special terms and conditions. In order to establish a model for helping the decision making we investigated the characteristics of these fields of logistics. Using our model we can determine the length of time necessary to return. In this paper we publish the theoretical background and the model itself.
