Recently, a retailer in Singapore placed orders for 60,000 3-kilogram tins of milk powder to be delivered progressively over 6 months.

There are 3 options, namely option A, option B, option C to discuss. Many considerations, such as  total costs of delivering the milk powder,  products’ physical characteristics,… must be taken into account when the packaging and materials handling decision is made.

Below are a brief summary of each option’s characteristics:
Option A: 
  1. Package the milk powder in tins ($3/kilogram) (3.3 kilograms/ tin)
  2. Palletize ($25/ pallet) these tins ($3/ tin) and shrink-wrap to withstand a sea journey 
  3. These tins are loaded into temperature-controlled shipping containers ($500/ containter)
  4. The loaded containers would be trucked from the processing plant to the port of adelaide
  5. Ship from port of adelaide to any address in singapore (ocean freight: $2,500/ container)
Option B:

  1. Package the milk powder in a new design tins ($3/kilogram) (3kg/ tin)
  2. Palletize ($25/ pallet)  these tins ($3.1/ tin) and shrink-wrap to withstand a sea journey
  3. These tins are loaded into temperature-controlled shipping containers ($500/ containter)
  4. The loaded containers would be trucked from the processing plant to the Port of Adelaide
  5. Ship from Port of Adelaide to any address in Singapore (ocean freight: $2,500/ container)
     
Option C: 
  1. shipping milk powder in bulk (using unpalletized stackable drums loaded into shipping containers) from Adelaide to Singapore. These drums are reusable. ($100/ drum, could be resold for $80)
  2. A qualified contractor could then be hired in Singapore to repackage the milk powder into 3-kilogram tins ($2/ tin) identical to the ones in Option A.
  3. deliver the milk powder locally to the retailer’s warehouse. ($0.50/ kilogram to repackage and deliver)

1.067/0.21 = 5 tins in length
1.067/0.21 = 5 tins in width
1/0.22 = 4 tins in height
=> 5*5*4 = 100 tins
Pallets per container:
11.84/1.067 = 11 pallets in length
2.28/1.067 = 2 pallets in width
2.12/1 = 2 pallets in height
=> 11*2*2 = 44 pallets
Therefore, we have 4400 tins per container (4400 = 44*100).

  • Number of drums can be loaded in the width of a container: 2.28/0.75 = 3 drums

    • Number of drums can be loaded in the length of a container: 11.84/0.75 = 15 drums

    • Number of drums can be loaded in the height of a container: 2.12/1 = 2 drums

    So, the total number of drums can be loaded in a container: 3*15*2 = 90 drums

    However, the total shipment weight could not exceed 20,000 kilograms per container, the total number of drums of milk powder can be loaded into a container under Option C is: 86 drums (86*(200 + 32) = 19,952kg)

Why? linhnguyen678k44 https://padlet.com/linhnguyen678k44/group5classIBC01K44/wish/726995286 We will choose option B which is ADC’s supplier proposed a new tin
    design, so that pallet density could be increased.  According to the calculations above, option B can load 5280 tins of milk powder per container, which is more than option A & C can load.  Option B has the total costs of delivering the milk powder to the retailer of $796835, whereas option A has the total costs of $799260 and total cost of Option C is $817905. It means option C can load more drums of milk powder per container
    for less total costs.
