In the fashion retail industry transshipment is the flow of the products from a retail location to another one to satisfy the demand at the receiver location. Sender only sends a product if it has excess inventory to its demand and it occurs to rebalance the inventory among retail locations. Assume that there is a retailer with I stores. There are O products nominated for transshipment. The available inventory rio, i = 1,2, ..., I, o = 1,2, ..., 0, and demand levels dio, i = 1,2, ..., I, o = 1,2, ..., 0, for all O, stores are known. Moreover, the sales prices of these products are known and are the same in all stores, po, o = 1,2, ... 0. There is a transportation cost when a product is sent from a store to another, Cij, i, j = = 1, 2, ... D which is independent for the type of the product.

In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuit boards has a demand for 250 units an hour. Two feeder cells supply parts A and B to the assembly cell (one A and one B for each board). Standard containers that look like divided trays are used. A container will hold 24 As or 10 Bs. It takes 10 minutes to fill up a container with As and 24 minutes to fill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is 5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used. Set up a kanban control system for the assembly process.
