In this regard, the distribution sector is the most important part of the supply chain. Due to the pulse of a company is in the hands of its sales and distribution department. This article proposes a new mixed integrated linear programming model MILP for scheduling distribution channel membership based on capillary marketing by considering staffs experiences at Pak's pasteurized dairy in one month. The purpose of this study is to reduce the costs of the company along with the increase in sales. Constraints affecting target functions such as minimum sales per employee and maximum overtime days are also considered.
