Transportation Flashcards
Logistic channels includes:
Distribution networks
Transporttion systems
Distribution networks
Nodes:
Plants
WH= regional / local / transit points
Points of sales
Transportation systems
Connection of nodes of the system
Transportation is important because it has a big impact in:
Costs (Transportation & Inventory carring cost)
Service level (OCT & Punctuality)
It represents 4/5% of the turnover
transportation cost
Intransit stock
Safty stock
Cycle stock
Types of inventories dealt when distribution networks.
SS= K x sD,LT
Safty Stock
K: Service Level coeficient
sD,LT: sqroot(ELT x sD2 x ED2 x sLT2)
2 al cuadrado
s: standard deviation
Can you explain the graph of Reorder Point model and say what is SS for
Y axis = quantity
X axis = time
SS is a base line in quantity to face unpredictable demand.
My ROP considers the transport LT and to be covered until that day in terms of Q but what I order is day 0 needs.
In transit stock
ITS = F x LT
F:Demand flow
LT: transportation lead time
Service Level:
Oreder Cycle Time
Order processing LT
Order preparation LT
Transportation LT
Includes all the services fo phisical movement of goods from POO to POD at a required time
Diferent modes, solutions, providers, infrastructures.
Has to be complient with law

Road main characteristics
Door to door
limited risk of damage
quick load unload
Main types of road transportation
FTL Full Truck Load
LTL Less than a Truck Load
For medium to long haulge.
Is a Unit dedicated only to a shipper.
Not handled after load.
Normal handling equipment.
Main driver saturation
Handling is negligible compared to transit time.
FTL
Full Truck Load
In Road:
What is the Optimal freight density
the ratio between the maximum weight capacity and the maximum cube capacity.
It is the density that saturates both weight and cube capacity
weight max: 28ton
volume max: 80 m3
optimal density is 350 kg/m3
Transport
How can transportation cost be written?
TC=F* d *R
Flow
distance
rate
