Question:
Logistics Managers need to be aware of the costs of shipping, and as such, they attempt to ensure that shipping is as efficient as it can be. With this in mind, let us see how we would make a shipment from somewhere overseas to London Ontario, using shipping containers. Your challenge is to take the information below and translate it into the number of shipping containers required to ship the 3 different products from Asia to London, Ontario. There is no need to develop routing, as it will be shipped via Ocean Carrier, Rail Carrier and Truck Carrier. Here is what we are shipping: 3 products in different size boxes o Box A = 12" x 12" x 12" o Box B = 12" x 10" x 24" o Box C = 24" x 24" x 24" There are 10,000 boxes in total o Box A = 4,000 o Box B = 3,500 o Box C = 2,500 The weight of each box is different o Box A = 7 pounds o Box B = 18 pounds o Box 3 = 35 pounds Products can be mixed in the containers. ASSIGNMENT: Determine how many containers, by size and capacity that will be required to ship this order from Asia to London, Ontario Show how you developed your selections and justify your reasoning.
