Appendix A:
The Widget Company (TWC) is a retailer of widgets located in Sudbury, Ontario. The yearly
demand for widgets is 48,000 units.
TWC has a contract with a third-party logistics company, which includes the rates in Table 1
below. TWC only pays these if the costs are not included in the supplier’s quoted price.
INCOTERMS provided in the suppliers’ proposals (Table 2) will determine what is included in
their price. If insurance is not included in the suppliers’ price (as per Table 2), TWC will pay the
Third-Party logistics company for insuring the goods (as per rates in Table 1). All widgets are
containerized for shipment. Up to 4,000 widgets can be loaded into a 20ft container, and up to
8,000 widgets can be loaded into a 40ft container.
TWC has received proposals from 3 suppliers to supply widgets. You are tasked with making the
supplier selections and order quantity decisions for the rest of the year. Table 2 contains a
summary of the 3 proposals.

Economics of Transportation (1 of 2)
• Transportation demand = a request to move a given weight or amount
of cargo a specific distance between two specific points
• Demand for transportation
• Transportation helps to bridge the supply and demand gap inherent
to mass-production
• Goods need to be transported nationally and globally
• Measured in ton-miles

Economics of Transportation (2 of 2)
• Passenger demand
• Transportation bridges the supply and demand gap for people
between locations
• People need to be mobile for work, recreation, shopping, and to
access services
• Measured in passenger-miles

Economic Significance: Freight
Transportation
• A geographical area specializes in the mass production of particular
goods and/or services
• Transportation bridges the supply and demand gap inherent in the
mass production–oriented approach
• Transportation lowers “landed cost” of production factors

Demand Elasticity
The Sensitivity of Customers to Changes in Price
• Aggregate demand for transportation is price inelastic. Freight rate
reductions will not proportionally increase the aggregate demand for
freight transportation
• Demand for specific modes of transportation or specific carriers is
generally price elastic and service elastic
• Reductions in rates charged usually result in greater than proportional
increased demand. Decreasing service levels similarly result in greater
than proportional decreased demand

Value of Transportation Service
The Impact of Transportation Costs and Services on
the Demand for the Product
• Landed cost determines the extent of the market
• Landed costs at buyer facility = Production cost of overseas supplier
+ Overseas warehouse & transport costs
+ Export tariffs
+ International freight transportation costs
+ Import duties
+ Buyer warehouse & transport costs

Landed Cost Determines the Extent of the
Market (and Equation)
LC(P) = LC(20)
Production Cost (P) + Transportation
Cost (P) = Production Cost (S) +
Transportation Cost (S)
$50 + $0.60(x) = $50 + $0.50(200 − x)
$0.60(x) + $0.50(x) = $50 + $100 −
$50
$1.10(x) = $100
x = 90.9 miles from P

Place Utility: Law of Squares (or
Lardner’s Law)
Reductions in transportation costs permit
market areas to purchase products from
more distant suppliers
In Figure 2-5
If transportation costs are cut in half, the
supplier can now transport goods for twice the
distance.
Small circle = initiate transportation costs
Big circle = transportation costs cut in half
The big circle shows that the relevant market
area has increased four times when the radius
doubles from 100 to 200 miles.

Summary
• Transportation expenditures are an important part of the history and
gross domestic product of the United States.
• Transportation is needed for transportation of goods and people.
• Transportation contributes to the value of goods by providing various
utilities that enhance the possibility of scale economies and increased
market areas.
• While transportation provides many benefits, including social and
political significance, it creates social costs due to the impacts on the
environment.

Absolute and Comparative Advantage
• Absolute advantage
• Trade is beneficial if cost of production for the same product differs
between countries
• Comparative advantage
• Trade is also beneficial even if one country has lower cost of
production for multiple products than another country

Globalization (1 of 2)
• Economic integration and reduction of trade barriers lead to increased
global flows of goods and services (comparative advantage), which
leads to global interdependence.
• Benefits of global interdependence (Macro-level view)
• Lower prices
• Wider availability of goods and services
• Land and resource development
• New employment opportunities

Development of Supply Chain Concept
(1 of 2)
• 1960s: Physical Distribution
• Focus on system costs and trade-off among transportation,
inventory levels, warehousing, protective packaging, materials
handling, and customer service
• 1980s: Business Logistics/ Integrated Logistics
• Focus on coordination between the outbound and inbound sides of
logistics. Analyzing trade-offs for the lowest total cost and the value
of demand aspects of customer service effectiveness

Development of Supply Chain Concept
(2 of 2)
• 1990s: Supply Chain Management
• The extended enterprise or boundary spanning perspective, focusing
on a system of connected networks between the original vendor and
the ultimate final consumer

Integrated Supply Chain
• Supply chain management (SCM) is the art and science of integrating
the flows of products, information, and financials through the entire
supply pipeline from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer.

Product/Service Flows
• Product flow is directly dependent on effective transportation for
timely, reliable, and damage-free product delivery to customers.
• Importance of reverse logistics systems for returning products
• Different network designs (location, size, and layout of facilities)
• Growing number of specialized reverse logistics and transportation
service providers

Information Flows (1 of 2)
• Traditionally, demand or sales data triggered replenishment and served
as a basis for forecasting future demand for all members of the supply
chain.
• Lengthy time intervals between orders created demand uncertainty,
resulting in higher inventory (safety stock) or stock out costs.
• This contributed to the “bullwhip effect” in the supply chain as the
magnitude of uncertainty increased with the “distance” from the
market or customer.
• Supply chain management mitigates the bullwhip effect by reducing
the level of uncertainty

39
Information Flows (2 of 2)
• Timely, two-way flows of accurate information help mitigate the
bullwhip effect.
• Bar codes and RFID
• Reduce uncertainty (thus safety stock)
• Forms of forward information – advanced shipment notices (ASNs),
order status information, and inventory availability information
• Transportation plays an important role in supply chain efficiency
(including level of inventory) and effectiveness.
• Service reliability
• Transit time
• Efficiency through consolidation and merging-in-transit strategies

Financial (Cash) Flows
• Cash flows involve backward flows of payment for goods, services, and
orders received.
• Shortened order and replenishment cycles mean faster cash-to-cash
or order-to-cash cycle.
• Faster cash flow reduces working capital requirements for financing
operations and contributes to improved profitability.
• Transportation service quality contributes to improved customer
service and faster cash flow.

Summary
Globalization through economic integration and elimination of trade
barriers increased global trade flows and interdependence.
Global trade flows continue to expand, motivated by:
− Population growth and age distribution
− Urbanization
− Land and natural resource use
− IT and non-IT technologies
Increased global trade flows are dependent on integrated flows of
products/services, information, and finances (cash).
Increased flow of products/services elevated transportation to a more
strategic role in many organizational supply chains.
