(Do not include aisle space because you don't know the layout yet)
A potential customer is sending overflow pallets to the 3PL. These are seasonal items that
will not be replenished to the 3PL. That means you can repurpose the lane for other
customer contracts when it is emptied. Each month (until the number of pallets is depleted),
they will place an order following the demand structure below:
Considering the weight and size of the SKUs, your cost structure is $20 per pallet per
month for storage cost, $0.15 to handle each pallet for receiving, and $0.80 to handle each
pallet for picking, packing and loading. The order fulfillment fee is $1.75 per order. The
customer says they might not place one order that includes multiple SKUs. Therefore,
assume each SKU will have its own order.
How much will you quote the customer?
