EB purchases its high density plastic from a distributor in Shenzhen China. This specialty plastic is transported by a conference ocean carrier as LCL through the port of Vancouver BC where it is then destuffed and transported by intermodal rail to EB in Winnipeg MB. The plastic is purchased in a small pellet form and packed in double-walled corrugate gaylord cartons measuring 48 inches x 40 inches wide and 36 inches tall. Each carton is lined with a plastic bag and then capped with a corrugate lid. When filled, each gaylord carton weighs 1,500 lbs. For both the ocean and rail portions of transportation, nothing occupies the space above the gaylord boxes in the containers as they are not capable of being stacked. A potential new supplier of plastic has been found in Halifax Nova Scotia. This manufacturer produces a comparable product to the Shenzhen supplier. The new supplier in Halifax would transport the plastic pellets in a bulk hopper car via rail to a transloading facility in Winnipeg Manitoba. A packaging facility anoretoc adiacent to the rail terminal operates adjacent to the rail terminal in Winnipeg where the plastic would then be packaged in the same gaylord cartons currently being used for delivery over the road to EB only a few kilometers away. You have not been given costing information yet but have been asked to prepare a preliminary report that would highlight the logistical differences between the two options. Compare and contrast the two modes of transportation and what impacts this would have on EB. Specifically, you have been asked to: 1. Compare and contrast the two modes of transportation and what impacts this would have on EB. 2. Discuss the organizational changes that may impact EB in a change of suppliers. Assignment: Your response should be approximately 1,000 words and contain a brief introduction, your analysis and recommendation, and
