Week 13: Place: Distribution System

This week, we covered distribution centers, and how products get from one place to the other. I found a video on YouTube, that shows AT&T with the 3G IPhones, and how they are packaged, shipped and distributed to businesses to sell. As you can see in the video, AT&T owns a distribution warehouse, where all of their products are kept in stock, and shipped out to suppliers and consumers when an order is placed. The video shows how products are taken from storage, boxed up, and send down a convayer belt to be scanned, tagged an shipped.
