The estimated shipping time from Mexico to the U.S. for each shipment of Tommy Jeans is 4 days and the estimated freight cost of each shipment is $800. On the other hand, the current average shipping time from Vietnam to the U.S. for each shipment of Tommy Jeans is 23 days and the average freight cost is $2300. Even though the shipping time and freight cost seem to be much lower in case of Mexico, Tommy Hilfiger management is concerned about the production cost of each Jeans shipment. The management anticipates that the production cost of each Jeans shipment will be higher in Mexico compared to Vietnam. However, Tommy Hilfiger management has decided that even if the total cost (sum of production cost, freight cost, and holding cost) remain similar to Vietnam, Tommy Hilfiger will still source Jeans from Mexico because of the reduced shipping time, which, in turn, will result in better…1. Evaluate the current China/Taiwan logistics costs. Assume a current total volume of 190,000CBM and that 89 percent is shipped direct from the supplier plants in containers. Use the datafrom the case and assume that the supplier-loaded containers are 85 percent full. Assume thatconsolidation centers are run at each of the four port locations. The consolidation centers useonly 40-foot containers and fill them to 96 percent capacity. Assume that it costs $480 to ship a20-foot container and $600 to ship a 40-foot container. What is the total cost to get thecontainers to the United States? Do not include U.S. port costs in this part of the analysis.2.

Suppose these are penalty costs for every unsatisfied demand unit which are given by 5, 3, and 2 for destination A, B, and C respectively. 1. Determine how many units and from which source needs to be shipped using the following methods: A) NWCB) LCMC) VAM2. Find the minimum distribution cost1. Transportation Problem: The Navy has 9,000 pounds of material in Albany, Georgia that it wishes to ship to three installations: San Diego, Norfolk, and Pensacola. They require 4,000, 2,500, and 2,500 pounds, respectively (Destination or Demand amounts). Government regulations require equal distribution of shipping among the three carriers (Supply nodes). Note: This means the supply is the same for each type of transportation. The shipping costs per pound for truck, railroad, and airplane transit are shown below.
