Transportation Management (BUSS-B-3001) - Middle East College
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this assignment, the student should be able to:
1. Suggest the right mode of transport in practical situations
2. Recognize the necessity of changing organization structures in different concepts in a practical situation.
3. Calculate ETO's (Economical Trade Off) in various supply chain situations.
Part 1:
Analyse the most appropriate type of equipment for the transport and design the configuration of the shipments, from among th e following alternatives, i.e. the layout of the pallet, distribution of pallets in the vehicle, number of items (containers, swap bodies, trailers) to be sent each day.
After you have chosen the appropriate transport unit you know you have a solution, but you are sure that you don't have a better solution than your competitor, because he could figure this out too. So, after choosing the transport unit, there are several ways to optimize the flow so that you are able to reduce the price per box or per pallet.
Question: Calculate and choose the optimum transport unit for this concept. Find an optimum in the occupation degree of the transport equipment so
• That you are able to offer the lowest price.
• That you create a maximum of flexibility in the concept. Make a drawing of this concept.
Motivate your calculations.
Part 2:
In part two you have to organise the transport, taking into account the above mentioned and following conditions what ends in a final report what might lead to an offer to FARAMIL.
Important items for the report are:
- Continuity and JIT are important delivery demands; It is crucial that there will be a constant stable flow going outbound and inbound.
- Hybrid transport might belong to the solutions;
- Rush orders might happen;
- Use in your report the logistic integral concept
- Calculate the costs of each rotation in the roundtrip what you can use in the ETO (economical Trade Off) as a decision maker in this process.
- Choose the best option(s)
