Cargo Loading. You are in charge of loading cargo ships for International Cargo Company (ICC) at a major East Coast port. You have been asked to prepare a loading plan for an ICC freighter bound for Africa. An agricultural commodities dealer would like to transport the following products aboard this ship:Commodity    Tons Available    Volume per Ton (cu.ft.)    Profit per Ton ($)1    4,000    40    702    3,000    25    503    2,000    60    604    1,000    50    80You can elect to load any or all of the available commodities. However, the ship has three cargo holds with the following capacity restrictions: Cargo Hold    Weight Capacity (tons)    Volume Capacity (cu.ft.)Forward    3,000    100,000Center    5,000    150,000Rear    2,000    120,000More than one type of commodity can be placed in the same cargo hold. However, because of balance considerations, the weight in the forward cargo hold must be within 10 percent of the weight in the rear cargo hold, and the center cargo hold…

Explain along with examples related to Freight Traffic Assignment Problems and vehicle routing problem in the logistics activities of manufacturing and service companies! Solve the following case study using the transportation method: Suppose there is a manufacturing company that produces and distributes its products to various customer locations across the country. This company has three production plants (Plant A, Plant B, and Plant C) located in different locations, and there are also five distribution centers (DC 1, DC 2, DC 3, DC 4, and DC 5) scattered across various regions. The company's goal is to determine the most efficient transportation routes for delivering products from the plants to the distribution centers, considering transportation costs and available capacities.

The Winston Company has four distribution centers (A, B, C, and D) that require 40,000, 60,000, 30,000, and 50,000 gallons of de-ionized water, respectively, per month for cleaning their long-haul trucks. Three de-ionized water wholesalers (1, 2, and 3) indicated their willingness to supply as many as 50,000, 70,000, and 60,000 gallons, respectively. The total cost (shipping plus price) of delivering 1,000 gallons of de-ionized water from each wholesaler to each distribution center is shown in the following table: Distribution Center Wholesaler A B 1 $1.70 $1.90 $1.60 $1.70 2 $1.40 $1.90 $1.60 $1.70 3 $1.60 $1.50 $1.80 $1.40 a. Which of the following statements regarding setting up the tableau for the optimal solution for this problem is true? O A. The sum of supply capacities is greater than the sum of demands, so a dummy distribution center needed, O B. The sum of supply capacities is less than the sum of demands, so a dummy wholesaler is needed. C. The sum of supply capacities…

Oscar's Bowling, Ic., wants to break into the Phoenix metropolitan market with one of its super-sized 200 lane, 24-hour bowling alleys. It, however, only has enough capital to build one facility. Oscar wants it to be centered by population, as determined by the center of gravity method. The following information is given: City Population x coordinate y coordinate Tempe 285,000 Scottsdale 350,000 10 Chandler 725,000 5 Mesa 300.000 10 1 Glendale 345,000 1 10 a. Where should Oscar build? Oscar should build at an x coordinate of and a y coordinate of . (Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.)
