Solution HS vs. PTP
Point-To-Point (PTP)
In PTP: one service from i to j, so in case you miss a service, you cannot deliver
the product.
In H&S: demand on each service will be much higher (80 units vs. 10 units),
besides utilising big vehicles (lower transport cost), logistics companies may
provide more than a service per day due to high demand, for instance 2
services per day (each service transport 40 units). In case more services are
organised, the risk of missing delivery will be lower.
But if a hub is disrupted, the entire system will be collapsed.
