Abstract
Presents an “inverted” approach to solve the problem of allocation and distribution. Under this approach, we start with the distribution first, and then do the allocation next. This inverted approach is supported by a system called the Intelligent Materials Allocator and Distributor (IMAD). The IMAD system has been in use for two years in China. The use of this system has resulted in a general increase of one million yuans in profit for each material transfer station
