CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In any given company particularly manufacturing, three
(3) Primary functions are observed and they include primary function of finance, production and marketing otherwise known by many as distribution, these three primary functions are interdependent and complementary. Having the financial resources and the ability to produce a product are of little value if the product can not be exchange for money. Equally having the finance and the market are of little value if one cannot provide the product. The ability to produce and exchange are not sufficient if one does not have the necessary capital to employ personnel and obtain other facilities and suppliers. Plans and action of these three
(3) Primary function and other support must work in concert if the organization is to achieve it, full potential. In other words, it must develop demand for its goods and services at a profit if it must remain in business, from the foregoing, it is clear that physical distribution whether accepted or not had remained integral part of every day business especially in a manufacturing outfit, and by extension any economy, infact it plays pivotal and by dynamic role in the entire network of our national economic life.
Economists have frequently differentiate between production and distribution. Production in economic sense is the addition of physical or form utilities to goods. This includes, transportation of goods from the point of production to the point of sale and consumption or further fabrication.
The completion of production process similarly gives rise to other factors and questions:
– What is the extent of the marketing area?
– Are the outlets conveniently located?
– What pattern would distribution take?
