RCF is also considering direct supplies to some FPWs (bypassing the RPWs). They were warned that this would lead to much larger management of pipeline stocks. Therefore, RCF would also like to estimate the impact of its location policy on pipeline stocks. Given the typical lead times, make assumptions about the fixed and variable part of lead times (fixed part is the order processing loading of the rakes, etc. and the variable part depends on the distance and location), estimate the pipeline inventories in your distribution network solution.
