Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G,
and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship
from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E
regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4,
and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10,
$9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200,
300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350,
450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can
handle 600 and 700 units, respectively. Logistics Manager, Aretha
Franklin, had previously used "Chain of Fools" as her supply chain
consulting company, but now turns to you for some solid advice.

Trips Logistics, a third-party logistics firm that provides warehousing and other logistics services, is facing a decision regarding the amount of space to lease for the upcoming three-year period. The general manager has forecast that Trips Logistics will need to handle a demand of 100,000 units for each of the next three years. Historically, Trips Logistics has required 1,000 square feet of warehouse space for every 1,000 units of demand. For the purposes of this discussion, the only cost Trips Logistics faces is the cost for the warehouse. Trips Logistics receives revenue of $1.22 for each unit of demand. The general manager must decide whether to sign a three-year lease or obtain warehousing space on the spot market each year. The three-year lease will cost $1 per square foot per year, and the spot market rate is expected to be $1.20 per square foot per year for each of the three years. Trips Logistics has a discount rate of k = 0.1.

- Company ZWZ manufactures three products in a serial system; Product XA is manufactured in Stage 1, Product XB in Stage 2, and XC in Stage 3. Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3. Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting.

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 industrialized areas of the world, particularly Europe. The problem is to process the ores and move them to final markets as cheaply as possible.

The highest degree of processing occurs in make-to-order operations. A make-to-order operation does not start processing or assembling products until it receives a customer order. A moderate degree of processing occurs in assemble-to-order operations. A company using an assemble-to-order operation divides its manufacturing or assembly process into separate parts or modules. The lowest degree of processing occurs in make-to-stock operations (also called Because the products are standardized, meaning each product is exactly the same as the next, a company using a make-to-stock operation starts ordering parts and assembling finished products before receiving customer orders.
