Consolidation

Consolidation: one large shipment made of many smaller shipments

• By market area: combine small shipments from one shipper going to the same area

• Pooled delivery: combine small shipments from different shippers going to the same area

• Scheduled delivery: delivery at specific times

Learning Objective 11-2

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-14

Consolidation or Not—Example (1 of 2)

Example 11-1

A firm has orders of 12,000 lbs each of goods for three customers. It is $15.75 per hundredweight (cwt) to ship direct, or $10.50 per cwt for shipments of greater than 30,000 lbs with a $300 fee for each stop.

Should the firm consolidate the orders into one shipment?

Learning Objective 11-2

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-15

Consolidation or Not—Example (2 of 2)

Example 11-1

Cost of individual shipments:

$15.75 × (12,000/100) = $15.75 × 120 cwt = $1,890

total for all three shipments = 3 × $1,890 = $5,670

Consolidated shipments:

$10.50 × (36000/100) = $10.50 × 360 cwt = $3,780

including stop charge = 3 × $300 + $3780 = $4,680

Saving with consolidation = $5,670 − $4,680 = $990

Learning Objective 11-3

Transportation Mode Selection

In order to decide which mode of transportation to use to ship an order, consider:

• Speed

– the elapsed time required to move from the point of origin to destination

• Availability – the ability to service any possible location

• Dependability – the variance in the expected delivery times

• Capability – the ability to handle any type of product and/or size of load

• Frequency

– the number of scheduled movements that can be arranged by a shipper

Transportation Mode Selection: Characteristics

Table 11-2 Characteristics of Transportation Modes (1 = best, 5 = worst)

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-19

Student Activity (1 of 4)

Search the Internet to find out which transport mode produces the least damage to products. Which one is the safest to operate? Which one consumes the least amount of energy? Which one is least subject to disruptions from events such as labor strikes or natural disasters?

Learning Objective 11-3

Trucking Industry: Three Segments

• Truckload (TL)

– carriers generally carry only full trailers of freight

– trucks can be routed directly from the shipper to the customer

• Less-than-truckload (LTL)

– carriers usually move loads of less than 15,000 pounds

– carriers experience relatively higher fixed costs because of the need to stop at a terminal for load consolidation

– typically pay higher marketing costs because they want to generate full loads

– dominated by a few large carriers

• Specialty carriers

– include package haulers such as FedEx and United Parcel Service (UPS)

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-21

Carrier Types

Value Density: ratio of value to weight, often determines the type of carrier used

• Common: provide service to the public with published rates

• Contract: provide service only to select, contracted customers

• Private: firm owns its own equipment

Learning Objective 11-3

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-22

Transportation Service Selection (1 of 3)

1. Cost related to the transportation itself

2. Cost of inventory while in transit

3. Service requirements related to speed, availability, and so on

Learning Objective 11-3

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-23

Transportation Service Selection (2 of 3)

Example 11-2

A firm must ship a 10-lb parcel of 30 items valued at $500 each a distance of 1,000 miles. Transportation options are 8-day ground for $50 or 2-day air for $90. Holding cost is 20 percent of product value. How should the firm ship its product?

Learning Objective 11-3

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-24

Transportation Service Selection (3 of 3)

Example 11-2

Total cost = In-transit holding cost + Freight cost

In-transit holding cost = days in transit/365 × Shipment

value × Annual inventory carrying cost percentage

Ground:

= [(8 days/365) × $15,000 × .2] + $50.00 = $115.74

Air:

= [(2 days/365) × $15,000 × .2] + $90 = $106.44 Learning Objective 11-3

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-25

Learning Objective 11-3

Student Activity (2 of 4)

Rework the transportation cost analysis in Example 11-2 given all the same parameters, except that the 30 watches are now valued at only $50 each. Why is ground service now the best choice?

Distribution/Fulfillment Management— Primary Functions of Distribution Centers

Stockpiling

• the storage of inventory in warehouses to protect against seasonality either in supply or demand

Production support

• dedicated to storing parts and components needed to support a plant’s operations

Break-bulk, warehouse consolidation, and cross- docking

• splitting the shipment into individual orders and arranging for local delivery to customers

• Cross-docking: combines break-bulk and warehouse consolidation activities

Learning Objective 11-4

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-29

Distribution/Fulfillment Management

• Reverse Logistics:

– Material moves upstream in the supply chain

– Especially important in online retail

• Value-Added Services: providing additional value to the customer, such as postponement (www.zappos.com)

• In-storage handling

• Storage

• Order picking and packing

• Staging

• Shipping

Learning Objective 11-4

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-31

Student Activity (3 of 4)

Contact a company that has a warehouse operation nearby (it may be that your college or university has a facility). Arrange for a tour of the warehouse. Ask the manager about the different functions the facility performs (consolidation, break-bulk, etc.) for the organization.

Learning Objective 11-4

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-32

Materials Handling and Packaging

• Handling material increases costs and risk of damage

• Packaging can decrease handling costs and risk of damage

– Containerization or Unitization: filling or creating a larger container from smaller ones

– Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems: robots that get, move, and put away material

– RFID: electronic tracking of material

Learning Objective 11-5

consent of McGraw-Hill Education. 11-33

Logistics Network Design

• Logistics network design determines: – Number and location of operations facilities – How customers will be served – Where inventory will be held – Which transportation modes will be used

• Cost-to-service trade-off: as service levels increase, typically so do costs

• Cost-to-cost trade-off: increasing the cost of one logistics activity reduces the cost another

• Total landed cost: sum of all product- and logistics- related costs

– Country costs of manufacturing

– Cost in transit to country of sale

– Cost within country of sale
