Assistance with an Operations Management assignment. The information is attached in a 26 page PDF. I need assistance with the 2nd requirement in the project. Here is what it asks for:

"2) Currently, the Brown-Forman Cooperage does not supply oak barrels to one of its facilities, the Canadian Mist Distillery (Collingwood, Ontario, Canada); Canadian Mist currently utilizes an external supplier for those barrels. Canadian Mist is not classified as a "Tennessee Whisky". [Note that some distillers' brands now might not be able to promote themselves as "Tennessee Whisky", and that Brown-Forman Cooperage might be able to sell barrels to competitors as an additional source of revenue in Tennessee.] Perform a total supply-chain cost analysis on the following options:

a) Continue to supply Canadian Mist Distillery with its current external supplier;

b) Supply the Canadian Mist Distillery with barrels from the Brown-Forman Cooperage in Louisville, KY, (possibly by expanding capacity at that location, if necessary).

c) Move the Brown-Forman Cooperage to a brand-new appropriately-sized location that could supply both the Canadian Mist Distillery and its current existing internal customers (Jack Daniel's, Early Times,

Old Forester, and Woodford Reserve), as well as provide capacity for growth to include new external"

customers. (Details about these various capacity-related options and costs are described below.)
