An increase in overhead and setup costs A reduction in outbound transportation costs: transportation costs from the warehouses to the customers An increase in inbound transportation costs: transportation costs from the suppliers and/or manufacturers to the warehouses. 6 2 3 . 9 2 5 - L o g i s t i c s S y s t e m s

When and where should the inventory for seasonal or promotional demand be built and stored? Can capacity problems be alleviated by re-arranging warehouse territories? What impact do changes in the forecast have on the supply chain? What will be the impact of running overtime at the plants or out-sourcing production? What plant should replenish each warehouse? Should the firm ship by sea or by air. Shipping by sea implies long lead times and therefore requires high inventory levels. On the other hand, using air carriers reduces lead times and hence inventory levels but significantly increases transportation cost. Should we rebalance inventory between warehouses or replenish from the plants to meet unexpected regional changes in demand? 6 2 3 . 9 2 5 - L o g i s t i c s S y s t e m s
