Activity Logistics of a Company

• The activity is based on role play.
• Students will analyze the company demand,
  delivery and inventory cost of a company with
  manufactures available to them.
• The students will then decide which manufacturing
  location would benefit financially.

Groups

• Your class will be in groups of 3 - 4 students
  with at least 4 groups.
• Two groups will be the manufacture/service
  provider.
• The others will be the customer/company.
• As a class they must decide what their
  service/product will be.

Manufacture/Service Provider

• Each Manufacturing/Service group must do the
  following
• select physical location on a US map, then
  translate it into a coordinate grid.
• provide coordinate locations to each other and
  create a map on graph paper.
• decide on the product wholesale price.
• calculate distance from your location to each
  customer.
• provide each customer with their cost of
  order/setup.

  item/product.
• calculate order quantity and orders per year.
• calculate total annual cost.
