  • Customer needs -- Speed, Cost, Reliability
  • Customer requirements -- Mode of transport, VMI, Express Delivery, Customized Delivery
• Supply
  • Product, product families or product lines
  • Geography
  • Type (Discrete/Process)
  • Make/Buy
  • Process capabilities -- Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order, Engineer-to-Order, Reverse Logistics
  • Technology
