- As part of Amazon logistics analytics team, you are tasked with creating a new algorithm that optimizes package deliveries in NYC. Specifically, your goal is to predict how many Amazon's own delivery vehicles (i.e. not UPS/USPS/FedEx) Amazon will need to send to streets of NYC on any given day. Explain which factors you might consider including in your prediction model and why. Suggested options include shipping costs for customers (1day/2day/5day), number of warehouses in the area (affects distance driven by vehicles), pick-up options such as Amazon Lockers in Whole Foods stores, number of deliveries fulfilled by UPS (as opposed to Amazon's own fleet), all kinds of traffic fees (tolls/parking fees/etc.).TowAlongmakes trailers at plants in Kansas City, Denver, and Raleigh and ships these units to distribution centers in Birmingham, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and Seattle. In planning production for the next year, TowAlongestimates unit shipping cost between any plant and distribution center, plant capacities, and distribution center demands. These numbers are given in the table. TowAlongfaces the problem of determining how much to ship between each plant and distribution center to minimize the total transportation cost, while not exceeding capacity and while meeting demand. Distribution Center Plant Birmingham Milwaukee Los Angeles Seattle Capacity Kansas City $35 $40 $60 $120 12000 Denver $30 $30 $45 $130 8000 Raleigh $60 $65 $50 $100 5000 Demand 9,000 3,000 9,500 1,500 Based on the assumption, the minimal total transportation cost next year will........? ...........units of trailers will be…The corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard for mileage is currently 27.5 miles per gallon of gasoline (the defender) for passenger cars. To conserve fuel and reduce air pollution, suppose the U.S. Congress sets the CAFE standard at 36 miles per gallon (the challenger) in 2014. An auto will emit on average 0.9 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) per mile driven at 27.5 miles per gallon, and it will emit 0.8 pounds of CO2 per mile driven at 36 miles per gallon. Solve, a. How much fuel and carbon dioxide would be saved over the lifetime of a passenger car with the new standard? Assume a car will be driven 99,000 miles over its lifetime. b. If CO2 costs $0.02/lb to capture and sequester, what penalty does this place on the defender? Should this penalty affect the CAFE replacement analysis?
- Beeson Co. is experiencing a decrease in sales and operating income for the fiscal year ending December 31st. Julia Faure, controller of Beeson Co., has suggested that all orders received before the end of the fiscal year be shipped by midnight, December 31st even if shipping department must work overtime. Since Beeson Co. ships all merchandise FOB shipping point, it would record all such shipments as sales for the year ending December 31st, thereby offsetting some of the decreases in sales and operating income.Discuss whether Julia Faure is behaving in a professional manner and what are the implications of her actions?Please show solution and formula used. Assuming the total number of students studying in the top four universities in the Philippines is approximately 158,000. And the distribution is as follows: University of the Philippines (UP) - 40% of the total number Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) - 23,700 De La Salle University (DLSU) - 25% of the total number University of Santo Tomas - 20% of the total number And only the following number of students owns a tablet computer: 20% of UP students 85% of ADMU students 90% of DLSU students 85% of UST students What is the total market penetration of tablet computers among the students of the top four universities? What is the total market size of tablet computers in the top four universities?SRS Limited is a manufacturing company in Asia (China and India) specializing in bicycles that they sell to the USA, Canada, and Africa. Recently they acquired JAP Bicycle in Jamaica and supplying them with bikes and parts. They want to get in the automatic wheelchair for the physical challenge.

Differentiate the difference between intra-modal and inter-modal and why you will have recommended one over the other.
- BETTER PRODUCTS COMPANY has decided to start manufacturing four new products in three plants that currently have excess production capacity. The products require comparable production effort per unit, so the available production capacity in the plants is measured by the number of units of any product that can be manufactured per day. a)Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table. I already have an optimal solution (it's from the book). (I dont understand)-------------------------------------------------------------------------OPTIMAL SOLUTION:It has basic variables (assignments) X₁₂ = 30, X₁₃ = 30, X₁₅ = 15, X₂₄ = 15, X₂₅ = 60, X₃₁ = 20 and X₃₄ = 25, so that: Plant 1 produces all of products 2 and 3.Plant 2 produces 37.5% of product 4.Plant 3 produces 62.5% of product 4 and all of product 1. The total cost of Z = $3 260 per day.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Instructions:Please explain this…BETTER PRODUCTS COMPANY has decided to start manufacturing four new products in three plants that currently have excess production capacity.

- Which method is most suitable for solving Transportations problemMount Isa Mines is one of the world’s great metal mines. Its main operations are at Mount Isa, in Queensland, Australia, where it mines adjacent deposits of copper and silver– lead–zinc ores. Production levels change with world demand and prices, but in a typical year 7 million tonnes of ore are mined to give 150,000 tonnes of copper and lead (containing silver) and 200,000 tonnes of zinc. Mount Isa has serious transport problems. It produces huge quantities of ore in a remote area of Australia, while the main demand for finished metals is in the industrialised areas of the world, particularly Europe. The problem is to process the ores and move them to final markets as cheaply as possible. You can see the scope of the problem from an outline of the journey for copper. This starts with underground explosions to break up the ore body. The broken ore is collected by front- end loaders and put onto ore trains that carry it to underground crushers. The crushed ore is then hoisted to the…Suppose there is a transportation model with 4 factories and 6 warehouses. In order to develop an initial solution using the intuitive lowest cost method, do we have to add one or more dummy sources in the transportation matrix, and why?
