• Identify alternate modes of routing e.g. Centralized Distribution Center for consolidation and re-routing in case of smaller volume
• Identify any taxation advantages which competitive network may have through secondary research
• Identify opportunities for direct to customer through the demand clusters formed
3rd Month
