28 Initial Strategies to Consider All direct shipments in full truckloads Consolidate in Indianapolis. All shipments in full truckloads
30
29 Simplification Shipments on the order of 1,000 miles Distances
31
30 What Costs? Transportation Pipeline inventory – inventory in transit Inventory at Plants Inventory at DCs Handling …
32
31 Direct:Transportation Cost How many shipments/year? –Green Bay –Indianapolis –Denver –Total 100 stores * Annual Store Demand /Items to fill a truck Items to fill a truck = Cap. of truck/Weight of Item –Green Bay –Indianapolis –Denver 30,000/5 = 6,000 30,000/10 = 3,000 30,000/30 = 1,000 100*2,500/6,000 = 41.67 100*5,000/3,000 =166.67 100*2,500/1,000 = 250 ~ 460
33
32 What Costs? Direct –Transportation ~ $1/mile*1,000 miles/trip*460 trips/year = $460,000/year –Pipeline inventory –Inventory at Plants –Inventory at DCs –Handling –…
34
33 Pipeline Inventory How long are goods in transit? –1,000 miles at 50+ miles per hour –2 days + How much inventory is in transit on average? Imagine we send the items one-at-a-time How many items in the pipe?
35
34 Pipeline Inventory One Day worth of sales at a store –10 TVs at $400+$100 each = $5,000 –10 Computers at $300+$400 = $7,000 –Total $12,000 per day per store Two days of system-wide sales: –2 days * $12,000/store/day * 100 stores = $2,400,000 –Carrying cost 15% of $2,400,000 = $360,000
36
35 What Costs? Direct –Transportation ~ $1/mile*1,000 miles/trip*460 trips/year = $460,000/year –Pipeline inventory $2,400,000 in capital $360,000 in annual carrying costs –Inventory at Plants –Inventory at DCs –Handling –…
37
36 Inventory at the Plants Two Extremes –Simultaneous shipments –Staggered shipments
38
37 Simultaneous Shipments A truckload of computers from Green Bay has 6,000 computers in it A DC sells 2,500 per year So we only need to replenish the DCs every 6,000/2,500 = 2.4 years
39
38 Inventory at Green Bay Simultaneous Shipments 600,000 2.4 years
40
39 Simultaneous shipments –Green Bay ships once every 2.4 years Inventory is 1.2 years demand or 300,000 CPUs Inventory value is $90,000,000 Inventory carrying cost is $13,500,000 –Denver ships 2.5 times per year Inventory is 20% of annual demand or 50,000 Consoles Inventory value is $5,000,000 Inventory carrying cost is $750,000 –Indianapolis ships 1.6 times per year Inventory is 500,000/3.2 or about 150,000 items Inventory value is $60,000,000 Inventory carrying cost is $9,000,000
41
40 Why Not? What are problems with simultaneous shipments? When are simultaneous shipments likely? What alternatives?
42
41 Inventory at Green Bay Staggered Shipments 6,000 ~6 days
43
42 What Costs? Inventory at Plants –Simultaneous Shipments Capital Carrying Cost Green Bay $90 million$13.5 million Denver$ 5 million$.75 million Indianapolis$60 million$ 9.0 million Total $155 million$23.25 million –Staggered Shipments (divide by 100!) Capital Carrying Cost Green Bay $900 K $135 K Denver$ 50 K$ 7.5 K Indianapolis$600 K$ 90 K Total $1.55 million $232.5 K
44
43 What Costs? Direct –Transportation ~ $1/mile*1,000 miles/trip*460 trips/year = $460,000/year –Pipeline inventory $2,400,000 in capital $360,000 in annual carrying costs –Inventory at Plants – Staggered Shipments $1.55 million in capital $232.5 K in annual carrying costs –Inventory at DCs –Handling –…
45
44 DC Inventory from Green Bay 6,000 ~2.4 years
46
45 Inventory at DCs At the DC’s? –½ truckload or 3,000 CPUs at $300 each: $900,000 –½ truckload or 1,500 Monitors at $400 each: $600,000 –½ truckload or 500 Consoles at $100 each: $ 50,000 $1,550,000 Carrying cost: 15% of $1,550,000 or $232,500 Total Carrying cost at the DCs: $23,250,000!
47
46 What Costs? Direct –Transportation ~ $1/mile*1,000 miles/trip*460 trips/year = $460,000/year –Pipeline inventory $2,400,000 in capital $360,000 in annual carrying costs –Inventory at Plants – Staggered Shipments $1.55 million in capital $232.5 K in annual carrying costs –Inventory at DCs $155 million in capital $23.25 million in carrying costs –Handling –…

48 Consolidation Strategy 2: Assemble Products in Indianapolis and distribute by truckload from there What will happen to costs? –Transportation –Pipeline –At plants –At Indianapolis Warehouse/Cross Dock –At DCs
50
49 Via Indianapolis Facts
51
50 What Costs? Transportation –To Indianapolis –From Indianapolis to DCs Pipeline inventory –To Indianapolis –From Indianapolis to DCs Inventory at Plants Inventory at Indianapolis Cross Dock Inventory at DCs Handling …
52
51 Indirect: Transportation To Indianapolis –Green Bay 400 miles* 42 trips = 16,800 –Indianapolis 0 miles*167 trips = ~ 0 –Denver 1,100 miles*250 trips = 275,000 –Total $291,800 From Indianapolis to DCs –Same as total transport before, we are moving the same goods the same distance (roughly 1,000 miles to each DC) $460,000
53
52 What Costs? Transportation –To Indianapolis $291,800 –From Indianapolis to DCs $460,000 Pipeline inventory –To Indianapolis –From Indianapolis to DCs Inventory at Plants Inventory at Indianapolis Cross Dock Inventory at DCs Handling …
54
53 Pipeline Inventory To Indianapolis –From Green Bay 400 miles ~ 1 day 1,000 per day at $300 each ~ $300,000 capital 15% of $300,000 is $45,000 carrying cost –From Denver 1,100 miles ~ 2 days 2 days at 1,000 per day at $100 each ~ $200,000 capital 15% of $200,000 is $30,000 carrying cost –Total Capital$500,0000 Carrying Cost$ 75,0000 From Indianapolis to DCs –Same as before 2 days of sales –Capital $2,400,000 –Carrying Cost $ 360,000
55
54 What Costs? Transportation –To Indianapolis $291,800 –From Indianapolis to DCs $460,000 Pipeline inventory –To Indianapolis Capital $500,000 Carrying Cost$ 75,000 –From Indianapolis to DCs Capital$2,400,000 Carrying Cost$ 360,000 Inventory at Plants Inventory at Indianapolis Cross Dock Inventory at DCs Handling …
56
55 Inventory at Plants Same as before –Green Bay holds ½ of a truckload –Denver holds ½ of a truckload –Assume Indianapolis holds ½ of a truckload for delivery to the cross dock –Capital$1,550,000 –Carrying Cost $ 232,500
57
56 What Costs?

57 Inventory at Cross Dock ReceivingShipping CPUs, Monitors, Consoles Computers & TVs WIP
59
58 Inventory at Indianapolis Cross Dock Receiving from the Plants –½ a truckload of CPUs –½ a truckload of Monitors –½ a truckload of Consols Shipping to the DCs –½ a truckload of Computers and TVs WIP – like Pipeline inventory –How long does the process take? Capital $1,550,000 Carrying Cost $ 232,500
60
59 What’s in a Truck Of Computers and TVs? In the same mix as demand –1:1 computers to TVs –X computers in a truck –Weight of the computers 15X lbs –Weight of the TVs 40X lbs –15X + 40X = 30,000 lbs –X = 30,000/55 = 545 A full truck of finished goods has –545 computers and 545 TVs –545 CPUs, 545 Consoles and 1090 Monitors
61
60 Inventory at Indianapolis Cross Dock Receiving from the Plants –½ a truckload of CPUs –½ a truckload of Monitors –½ a truckload of Consols Shipping to the DCs –½ a truckload of Computers and TVs 273 CPUs at $300 each or $ 81,900 273 Consoles at $100 each or $ 27,300 545 Monitors at $400 each or $218,000 Total $327,200 Carrying cost$ 49,080 WIP – like Pipeline inventory –How long does the process take? Capital $1,550,000 Carrying Cost $ 232,500
62
61 Inventory at DCs Inventory at a DC: –Visited by truck 4.6 times per year –Same as before –So inventory costs at DC are the same as before, right?
63
62 Wrong! Magic? Total Inventory Carrying Cost at DCs: $4,914,000 compared with $23,250,000 under earlier strategy. Explain!
64
63 The Difference Explain?
65
64 With Consolidation –Transportation Costs: $ 751,800 –Inventory Costs at DCs: $ 4,891,300 –Inventory Costs at Plants: $ 513,900 Total: $ 6,757,000 Without Consolidation –Transportation Costs: $ 460,000 –Inventory Costs at DCs: $ 23,250,000 –Inventory Costs at Plants: $ 232,500 Total: $ 23,942,500!
66
65 Comparison Invest some of the $120 million in the cross dock Spend some of the $18 million on handling
67
66 Deterministic Supply Chain Design Next time: should we be shipping in full truckloads? In early February we will explore to the inventory at the cross dock in more detail
