Projects
• European Auto manufacturer: (Not confirmed, but highly likely), several questions related to supplying parts from Europe– Is it better to supply to long run average consumption and
adjust inventory as necessary or to ship-to-forecast?– Is the company distinguishing among different parts
appropriately when setting safety-lead-time?– For transmissions, there are two suppliers in different parts
of Europe. Does it make more sense to combine shipments from these two suppliers or to try to achieve higher delivery frequency by using different routes from the different suppliers?

Consolidation
• Incentive to consolidate shipments– Make fewer larger shipments– Reduce frequency (!?)– Hub & Spoke– Share transportation resources– …
![Page 31: 1 1 Transportation & Supply Chain Systems John H. Vande Vate Spring 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d9c5503460f94a84e3b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Issues with Freight Rates
• Issue of how to estimate rates on lanes you don’t currently use
• Levels of detail– $/mile as the crow flies– $/mile on the network– Rate look up
• Caution: Average cost of shipments can be smaller than the cost of an average shipment
![Page 32: 1 1 Transportation & Supply Chain Systems John H. Vande Vate Spring 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d9c5503460f94a84e3b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Why It Matters?
• Estimating transportation costs to “customers”– Typically too many customers– Aggregate them
• By region
• By state
• By 3-digit zip
– Use some care in estimating the transportation cost to “aggregated” customers
![Page 34: 1 1 Transportation & Supply Chain Systems John H. Vande Vate Spring 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d9c5503460f94a84e3b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3434
Why It Matters?
• Customers may order different quantities at different times
• Estimating the cost to serve the customer often look at average shipments
• Careful how you average
![Page 35: 1 1 Transportation & Supply Chain Systems John H. Vande Vate Spring 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d9c5503460f94a84e3b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Summary
• Get started on your projects

• Transportation rate basics
• Economies of scale promote consolidation
• Cautions on “aggregating” transportation rates
