Transportation ExampleTransportation ExampleTransportation ExampleTransportation ExampleImportant pointsImportant points1. Carrying costs are $2/tire/month. If

d d i i d d h ldgoods are made in one period and held over to the next, holding costs are incurredincurred

2. Supply must equal demand, so a dummy l ll d “ d it ” icolumn called “unused capacity” is

added3. Because back ordering is not viable in

this example, cells that might be used to satisfy earlier demand are not available

5. In general, production should be allocated to the lowest cost cell
