·Evaluate the current China/Taiwan logistics costs. Assume a current
total volume of 190,000 CBM and that 89% is shipped direct from the
supply is plants in containers. Using the data from the case and
assume that the supplier-loaded container is 85% full. Assume that
consolidation centers are run at each of the four port locations. The
consolidation centers only use 40-foot containers and fill them to 96%
capacity.
·Assume that it costs $480 to ship a 20-foot container and $600 to ship
a 40-foot container. What is the total cost to get the containers to the
United States? Do you include U.S. port costs in this part of the
analysis?
