Shipping Cost: Interaction of Number of Shipments and Locations
<p>A transportation specialist needs to determine the best plan for shipping the customers’ orders on a daily basis. One important aspect of the decision is knowing the cost of each shipment, based on their weight, origin-destination, transportation mode (TL, LTL, rail), etc.</p>
<p>Now let’s assume you, the transportation specialist, has 100 orders to ship to your customers and each order is destined for a different location. Also, suppose you follow a direct shipment policy. In other words, you don’t want the trucks to stop at multiple drop-off locations. So, there is one way to ship each of the orders. For simplicity, we consider just one transportation mode here, truckload (TL). Having 100 orders and one way to ship each, we need the rates for a maximum of 1×100 = 100 shipments.</p>
