Summary/Abstract: The subject of article is within the scope of the distribution logistics and relates to transportation planning. For the given distribution network it is possible to appoint the set of cost-effective delivery routes. The decision problem comes down to such a choice of routes from this set to minimize transport, loading and unloading costs. The mathematical programming is proposed for finding an optimal solution of the problem. In the paper a linear mathematical model of the problem is presented. The model includes both real variables and binary variables.
