Four cargo ships will be used for shipping goods from one port to four other ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4). Any ship can be used for making any one of these four trips. However, because of differences in the ships and cargoes, the total cost of loading, transporting, and unloading the goods for the different ship-port combinations varies considerably, as shown in the following table. The objective is to assign the four ships to four different ports in such a way as to minimize the total cost for all four shipments. What is the total cost for the optimal assignment? (5 Points)

- Suppliers A, B, and C supply components to three plants -- F, G, and H via two transshipment facilities -- T1 and T2. It costs $4 to ship from T1 regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to T2 regardless of supplier. Shipping to T1 from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from T2 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. The Logistics Manager has come to you for help.

Both shipments weigh 8500 pounds. The two shipments can be shipped separately to Chicago at a cost of $2.00 per mile for a total of 409 miles and will take one day for each shipment. The company has a warehouse in Milwaukee where they can consolidate the freight. It would take two LTL shipments at $2.00 per mile to get the freight to Milwaukee for 337 miles and then one full TL shipment from Milwaukee to Chicago at $1.50 per mile for 92 miles. The consolidation cost in Milwaukee is $200 and it takes two days for the trip through Milwaukee.
