- Question 1 You first conduct analysis for ordering product 101 and shipping by truckload transportation.Your preferred truckload carrier will ship a truckload Supplier A’s facility to your AtlantaDC for $800 total given that they are separated by about 250 miles. Each truckload hasa capacity for 700 units of product 101. When using truckload transportation, the transittime is 2 days. However, since your supplier has limited capacity to process orders, theyonly guarantee to ship your order within 10 days of receiving the order.1. Recall that pipeline inventory cost does not depend on the quantity shipped but onlythe transportation mode. In this problem, the lead time TL between when you pay foran order and when you receive it is 10 days of order processing plus 2 days of transit time: TL = 12 days. Thus, pipeline inventory cost per item should be computed asr ∗ v ∗ TL in compatible time units. What is the pipeline inventory cost per week youwill incur using truckload trucking?arrow_forwardQUESTION 3 (Using the same problem) A vendor for the local ballpark food stand is questioning whether to stock his concession with a large or small inventory.
