Icons: Distribution, Retail

Slide Content

The slide focuses on visualizing concepts in distribution and retail through icons. It includes distinctions between distribution centers, wholesale buildings, retail shops, and the broader theme of shopping and consumption. The slide separately highlights the notion of big and small distribution centers, indicating varied sizes or capacities. Similarly, it depicts the retail shop concept for both significant and minor scales, which might reference the size of the stores or the extent of services offered. Wholesale, another critical aspect of the supply chain, is distinctly represented, implying a bulk transactional nature. These visuals serve as a helpful categorization for understanding the different components of distribution and retail sectors.
