es Problem 11-4 (LO2) An appliance manufacturer has a plant near Toronto that receives small electric motors from a manufacturer located in Winnipeg. The demand for motors is 118,000 units per year. The cost of each motor is $125. The motors are purchased in lots of 3.400 units. The ownership of motors transfers to the appliance manufacturer in Winnipeg. The question is which mode of transportation, truck or train, the appliance manufacturer should use to bring the motors from Winnipeg to Toronto. The railroad company charges $3 per motor. and it takes approximately seven days by train. The trucking company charges $5 per motor, but it takes only three days. The appliance manufacturer will keep 1,400 units as safety stock if a truck is used and 2.500 units as safety stock if a train is used for transportation. Assume 365 days per year. If the holding cost rate is 25 percent of unit cost per year, which mode of transportation will minimize total transportation and in-transit and safety…
John Clooney, a bush pilot in Alaska, makes regular charter flights in his floatplane to various towns and cities in western Alaska. His passengers include hunters, fishermen, backpackers and campers, and tradespeople hired for jobs in the different localities. He also carries some cargo for delivery. The following network shows the possible air routes between various towns and cities John might take (with the times, in hours). For safety reasons, he flies point-to-point, flying over at least one town along a route, even though he might not land there. In the upcoming week John has scheduled charter flights for Kotzebue, Nome, and Stebbins. Determine the shortest route between John’s home base in Anchorage and each of these destinations.
Select the true items related to performance indicators and targets. Select only the four correct answers Performance indicators and targets should cover attributes that are important to transport users. Performance indicators and targets must be expressed in quantitative terms. Performance target is used to denote any level of performance for a specific, defined performance indicator. Performance indicators and targets should be biased towards a particular transport mode or towards infrastructure. Performance indicator is used to monitor performance in terms of progress towards a specific defined objective. Performance indicators and targets should reflect a broader stakeholder perspective. Performance target is used to denote the desired level of performance for a specific, defined performance indicator. Performance indicator is used to show performance when a specific objective cannot be defined.

DM Office Products (DMOP) is a wholesale supplier of office products with one facility in Pennsylvania. They have decided to build a new distribution warehouse in the state of New York to help serve the growing demand in that market. They have four major customers located in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and New York City. Though New York City is the largest market, it also has the greatest competition and DMOP is not a major player there. When DMOP ships an order to a customer they use their own small fleet of two trucks to deliver, so the cost of delivery is essentially the same for a full or partially full truck. The expected number of annual shipments to each city and their coordinates on an x, y grid is shown in the following table. CITY Buffalo Syracuse Albany New York x-COORDINATES 370 1,465 2,345 2,320 y-COORDINATES 895 945 675 70 NUMBER OF SHIPMENTS 96 100 140 80 Use the centroid method to recommend a location for the new warehouse for DMOP (Round your answers to 1 decimal…

QL (“Quebec Lumber”) is a logging and wood processing firm in a remote part of the Canadian province of Quebec. They have recently acquired a remote track of timber that is located ten miles from their processing facility. Normally, this is not a problem as they are able to simply cut the timber and haul it using trucks to their processing facility. However, this track of forestland is ten miles to their north, and there are no roads connecting the tract of land to their facility. They have also acquired a narrow (120 foot wide) ten-mile strip of land connecting this tract of timber to their processing facility. QL considered building their own road between the two points, and have log trucks haul the logs to the processing facility. However, they have decided instead to go with a less expensive option, a narrow gauge railroad. The narrow gauge railroad would require the laying of ties and steel tracks, and will require a custom-built locomotive and rolling stock (train cars that will…
