In recent years the physical distribution of commodities has become one of the foremost areas for effecting cost reduction. Containerization, a special case of unitization and deunitization, has brought about a revolution in the intermodal transportation of cargo. Containerization is the philosophy of through transport, whereby the cargo is manhandled only twice. A dynamic programming algorithm was developed to determine a loading pattern for packages inside a container. Also the flow of empty and loaded containers is analyzed for a 'n' terminal problem and an algorithm developed to determine a trade route for an all container service. (Author)
