First, read the assigned case that describes how Colinx practices coopetition through its supply chain operation. One thing that CoLinx does is that it serves as a shared distribution and logistics hub for 4 competing manufacturers in the Gear Bearing and Power Transmission Equipment industry. Uncorrelated Demand and related data profiles for each of three Bearing and Power transmission equipment products at the Crossville (TN) Distribution Center are listed below. Any bearing has a fixed cost per shipment (common order cost) of $3,500 to any one of three wholesale distributors. Show the cost savings that could be achieved if packaging and shipping services could be aggregated (joint ordered) for the three products listed below if the company spends $100,000 per year (every 12 months) to stage the facility for this function. Should CoLinx proceed with the plan to perform this type of service based on your analysis? Please report lot sizes, order frequency (flow time), and costs for both independent ordering and joint ordering to justify your analysis.
