Logistics Decisions
• Improve/change your existing system• Create a new system• Comparison with other systems• Evaluate choices in your own system

Transportation Goals
• Reduce cost (5-10% of sales)• Meet reliability goals• Meet service quality goals• Simplify operations• Increase sustainability

Integration of Logistics into Business Operations
Operational, or daily decisions are made by comparing transportation and inventory costs
Strategic, or long term decisions are made by comparing logistics costs (transportation and inventory) to manufacturing and production costs
Lengthening of supply chains as transportation cost decreased and new opportunities to reduce manufacturing cost were found

• Strategic Decisions– System design, acquisition of resources, based on
aggregated data
• Tactical Decisions– Monthly or quarterly decisions, production and
distribution planning, based on disaggregated data
• Operational Decisions– Daily decisions, based on very detailed data

Methods
• Benchmarking
• Simulation

Considerations
• How accurate is your input data?• How do errors propagate in your analysis?• What have you learned from the analysis?• What kind of decision will you be making?• How does your analysis handle variability?• How well can your results be communicated?• Can your method be solved, or is your answer an
approximation?• What level of complexity can be managed?

Logistics Decisions
• Should I open a new facility? Where?• How many trucks should I buy? What size?• How much should be manufactured? Where?• How often should I send out delivery trucks?• What mode of transportation should I use?• How many drivers do I need today?

• Cycle Inventory: the average amount of inventory used to satisfy demand between receipt of supplier shipments. The size of the cycle inventory is a result of the production or purchase of material in large lots. Companies produce or purchase in large lots to exploit economies of scale in the production, transportation, or purchasing process. With the increase in lot size, however, also comes an increase in carrying costs. The basic trade-off supply managers face is the cost of holding larger lots of inventory (when cycle inventory is high) versus the cost of ordering product frequently (when cycle inventory is low). Some of this inventory may be in-transit, while some may be inventory-at-rest.
• Safety inventory: inventory held in case demand exceeds expectation; it is held to counter uncertainty. If they have too much safety inventory, goods go unsold and may have to be discounted. If the company has ordered too little safety inventory, however, the company will lose sales and the margin those sales would have brought. Therefore, choosing safety inventory involves making a trade-off between the costs of having too much inventory and the costs of losing sales due to not having enough inventory. Generally this inventory is inventory-at-rest, so that it is immediately available.

Transportation cost is typically much less significant than the reductions in manufacturing.

Logistics Costs
• Transportation cost– The cost incurred through the need to move
products over space.– In a vehicle, with a forklift, etc.
• Inventory cost– The cost incurred through the need to hold goods
over time.– In a vehicle, in a distribution center, etc.
![Page 14: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• In-transit inventory or pipeline inventory: inventory that is in the process of movement from point of receipt or production and between points of storage and distribution.
• Inventory-at-rest: inventory that is NOT in the process of movement from point of receipt or production and between points of storage and distribution, rather it is stationary, typically at a production facility, warehouse, distribution center, or consumption facility.

Follow the path of an item
• Carried from production area to storage area• Held in temporary storage• Loaded into transport vehicle• Transported to the destination• Unloaded, handled, and held for consumption

What incurs cost?
• Overcoming distance (motion): – transportation cost (over the road/rail) – handling cost (through a terminal, in and out of vehicles)
• Overcoming time (holding): – holding cost:
• Rent (proportional to D’H)• Waiting (value*time*interest rate)
– In transit– At rest
How you calculate the value depends on the analysis you are doing (cost or price)We will include all costs, regardless of who pays them (we are designing systems)

Queue Discipline
• FIFO: First In First Out
• LIFO: Last In First Out
• Others
If LIFO inventory cost is usually underestimated

Holding cost: Rent
• proportional to max. accumulation• Independent of flow rate, D’• Proportional to max. time between dispatches
![Page 21: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Holding cost: Waiting
• Cost associated with delay to items• ciHi + citm
• Stationary + pipeline inventory• Determining ci is difficult
![Page 22: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Transportation Cost
• Shipment cost has fixed and variable portions: cf + cvv (v is number of items)– Fixed cost: driver wage– Variable cost: increased fuel consumption
• Cost for n shipments: cfn + cvV (V is total items across shipments, n is number of shipments)
![Page 23: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Transportation cost
• Cost per item: (cfn + cvV)/V = cf/vavg+cv
– Economies of scale from sharing fixed cost– vavg=D’Havg so cost per item is (cf/D’Havg)+cv
• Transportation cost per item decreases with increasing average headway
• Holding cost increased with maximum headway– ciHi + citm
![Page 24: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Shipments should be spread so as to minimize the maximum (all the same)
![Page 25: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Transportation cost and distance
• cf (fixed shipment cost) is independent of v (items)
• both cf and cv are typically functions of distance (d)
• cf=cs+cdd• cv=c’s+c’dd
![Page 26: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Transportation cost and distance
• cf=cs+cdd• cv=c’s+c’dd
• Cost for n shipments: cfn+cvV– csn+cddn+c’sV+c’ddV– Add cost of multiple stops:
cs(1+ns)n+cddn+c’sV+c’ddV So small we neglect it
![Page 27: Logistics Cost](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813aef550346895da362e8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Transportation cost
• Cost per item (divide by nvavg):– cs(1+ns)/vavg+cdd/vavg+c’s or
– cs(1+ns)/D’Havg+cdd/D’Havg+c’s
• If headways vary a lot so do shipment sizes, and therefore truck sizes, better to use consistent truck sizes

Relationship to sizeMagnitude of fixed and variable cost determine most economic choice as a function of shipment size.
As shipment size increases, favor lower variableand higher fixed costs.
