The Superior Manufacturing Company wants to make two shipments from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, California. The first shipment weighs 10,000 pounds and the second shipment weighs 15,000 pounds. The carrier charges $10 per hundredweight (cwt) if the goods are shipped separately and they arrive in two days. If the goods can be consolidated into one shipment the cost would be $8 per cwt to ship them in a truckload lot, but it would cost $500 to consolidate the shipments at the carrier’s warehouse and it would take three days. Which is the lowest cost approach and which approach would you select?

- Use the appropriate strategy to assign joint costs of an LTL route to each of the following shipments. Show your calculations and the assigned cost below. [1] A PUD truck driver works ten hours serving local customers for an LTL carrier. On the route, the driver makes 12 stops at area industries. The driver averaged 25 miles per hour while driving and drove 150 miles. During the trip, the driver handled 80 separate shipments, filling 70% of his truck by weight and 65% by the cube. The route cost a total of $2450. Using the time strategy for PUD cost assignment, determine the costs to be assigned to Shipper A and each shipment if the driver handled 4 shipments (3 delivered, 1 picked up) at the stop, and took 40 minutes to serve the Shipper. Total Assigned Cost for Shipper A Assigned Cost for Each Shipment [2] An LTL linehaul truck route takes 15 hours to complete.

The unit cost of the motorboat is $60,000 and the holding or carrying cost is $5,000 per unit per year. The management of Motorboat dealership believe that the shortage cost due to waiting for the motorboat is $2,000 per unit short per month. The demand is seen to be Poisson distributed with an average rate of 2 units per month and the replenishment lead time can be considered to be exponential with a mean of one month. Considering the system as an M/M/s queuing system, find the optimal stock to be carried which can minimize the sum total of carrying and shortage costs.arrow_forward13.2 A company manufactures component parts for machine tools in North America and ships them to Southeast Asia for assembly and sale in the local market. The components are shipped by sea, transit time averages 6 weeks, and the shipping costs $2700 per shipment.

If inventory in transit for the shipment costs $125 per day, should they ship by air?arrow_forward

However, there were 333,000 large truck crashes in 2012, resulting in almost 3,800 fatalities, the majority being drivers or passengers of other vehicles, not the truck driver. One accident in 2014 caused a public uproar when a Walmart truck driver fell asleep at the wheel after being awake for 24 hours and crashed into another car, killing one person and critically injuring others, one being a well-known comedian. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enacted tougher hours-of-service rules that went into effect in July 2013. One report claimed that the industry would lose $1 billion in lost productivity as a result of these rules, while another concluded the industry would realize almost $500 million in benefit from reduced driver mortality. The new rules have caused considerable controversy and have caused hardships for drivers.
