Due to the exigencies of new commercial trades, enterprises have seen forced to increment their competitive levels to become more efficient in the management of their limited resources. In this situation, It is natural that the top managers in the organizations consider the transportation in general and physical distribution in particular as an important field to study and improve, seeking important cost reductions. In this paper we present an study of the administration of distribution resources, focused in the right management of product dispatching, assuming resource limitations. We propose some metrics that constitute, when used in a combined way, a valuable support for planning dispatching process, considering a typical delivery from one (1) distribution center toward “n” warehouses which can be considered internal o external clients.
