Summary Introduction
Interpretation: Theassignment of the warehouses to sites is to be determined in order to minimize the total annual transportation costs.
Concept Introduction:The highway project work according to the principle that allowed the benefits which can justify the expenditure incurred on the improvement. There are several methodsfor the calculation of the total annual cost of highway transportation. One of the common methods is the Annual Cost Method. The formula used in this method is:

You may notice different warehouses close to customers, to maximize customer service levels Mostly FMCG companies have established their warehouses/distribution centers in this area. Name the location strategy theses warehouses are using? Why most of the FMCG companies have chosen this area for their distribution centers and what benefits can these warehouses in this area /location can bring to FMCG companies?
The Thor International Company operates four factories that ship products to five warehouses. The shipping costs, requirements, and capacities are shown in Figure. Use the transportation method to find the shipping schedule that minimizes shipping cost.
Why are most location decisions analyzed by a team of managers instead of a single person? What types of teams are suggested as being helpful to the task of logistics network redesign?

They have decided to build a new distribution warehouse in the state of New York to help serve the growing demand in that market. They have four major customers located in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and New York City. Though New York City is the largest market, It also has the greatest competition, and DMOP is not a major player there. When DMOP ships an order to a customer, they use their own small fleet of two trucks to dellver, so the cost of delivery is essentlally the same for a full or partially full truck. The expected number of annual shipments to each city and their coordinates on an x, y grid is shown in the following table.
