This paper develops a planning concept for defining repetitive delivery patterns according towhich stores of a grocery retailer are supplied from a distribution center. Applying repetitive deliverypatterns offers major advantages when scheduling the workforce for shelf replenishment, definingcyclic transportation routes and managing warehouse capacities. In doing so, all logistics subsystems ofa retail chain, i.e., warehousing, transportation and instore logistics, are jointly scheduled. We propose anovel model to minimize total costs in all associated subsystems of a retail distribution chain. Asolution approach is developed for clustering stores and selecting delivery patterns that reflectspractical requirements. A broad numerical analysis demonstrates cost savings of 2.5 percent on averagecompared to a state-of-the-art approach. This considerable cost reduction potential is confirmed byapplying the suggested approach to a real case of a major European grocery retailer.
