As the operations consultant for Shuzworld, I have analyzed the problems presented to me, and below I have provided recommendations applying the appropriate decision analysis tool. A. Distribution Pattern In relation to Shuzworld’s current transportation distribution, the most cost efficient method is for 1300 units from Shanghai to Warehouse 3, from Shuzworld H 200 units should be received at Warehouse 1, 1500 at Warehouse 2, and 500 at Warehouse 3, totaling 2300 units being shipped from Shuzworld H. Twenty-two hundreds units should be transported from Shuzworld F to Warehouse 1. The cost of this distribution pattern is $16,200. Because the company is interested in increasing production at Shanghai from 1,300 units to 2,800 units, it is recommended that the distribution patter be altered. Instead, 1500 units should be sent from Shanghai to Warehouse 2. Shuzworld H should transfer 300 units to Warehouse 1, and 1,800 units to Warehouse 3, totaling 2100 units. Twenty-two hundread units should still be moved from Shuzworld F to Warehouse 1. Although the supply increased by 1,500 units, this revised distribution pattern would cost the company only $13,400. See charts below. A1a.
