This research project is intends to explore the appraisal of distribution system in the manufacture industry in Nigeria. I deemed it necessary sine the research topic is unique to industries in Nigeria, an environmental practical research was carried out on Nigeria brewery industry, which was used to generalizing the project objectives. This research work cannot be said to b exhaustive due to changing nature of our industries and it s not design to replace other views or subsequent research on this study objective, but has gone a long way in highlighting the ways to the much advocated efficient in distribution system. The research project is systematically arranged in 5 chapters, chapter one, deals with the general view, objective of the study and the limitation of the study etc. chapter two deals with the literature review, chapter three is the research methodology. Chapter four deals with the data presentation and analysis of findings. Chapter five is the summary recommendation and conclusion parts.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW

Production deem not complete until the product gets to the consumers in the high quality, in the right time, at the right place, at the right price at the right quality and in good condition. Owing to the life rang of industries in Nigeria, it becomes very essential to have efficient distribution system so summer, basically the aim of any industry is to minimize cost and maximize profit in order to achieve this, a firm will have to identify the high cost generating centers and hence try to reduce them. Distribution activities generate cost, the aim of a physical distribution management in industries is to brig to absolute minimal the total cost distribution and the same time ensure effective distribution to achieve high customer services and satisfaction.The distribution reference to the retailing or selling function means, a vast industry which is composed of many thousands of outlet ranging in size from shop to large departments, departmental stores and cash and carry warehouses, all of which attempt to supply the needs of our customers or consumers.Physical distribution management is concerned with the movement of raw materials and finished products from the supplier to the manufacture and customer. It is the links between manufacturing and production on one hand and the retailer and customer on the other hand.According to Drucker a well know management expert, physical distribution management is the last great frontier of cost reduction.Element of physical distribution management. Physical distribution management is grouped into the following elements:a. Transport b. Warehousingc. Order processingd. Administration and inventory controle. Receipts and dispatchf. Stockholding of inventoryg. PackagingThe concept of physical distribution is concerned with the relation between all the above elements; since change to any one function will affect those element to a greater or lesser extent. The center for physical distribution management in 1984 analyzed the cost of distribution as an average percentage of sales turnover for all commodities. It is observed that transport cost which include both the truckey movement between a manufacturer and distribution depots and warehouse, and the cost of distribution to retailer are the highest single costs, they nevertheless represent les than half the total distribution cost.Warehousing the product at various stages in the distribution process in the next most vital cost, but administration and inventory control are also heavy distribution overhead packaging is another very significant element of the total cost.Companies can loss customers when they fail to make their good available time. The industries, going by all these can be effective in physical distribution of their product, such effectiveness can range from ensuring that profit is earned in the process and achieve their private goal of the business, will standing the competition minimize the cost and profit maximize in physical distribution activities.

The researcher will examine in his study the physical distribution system in industries will particular reference to the Nigeria bottling company Ontisha Anambra state. All with a view to eliminate the ineffectiveness of physical distribution of coke products in Onitsha areas and suggest areas of improvement.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
