1. This is practice to enhance your knowledge of shipping. It's the 1" of the month and the Logistics Manager has product that has to be shipped to the 5 distribution centers the company services. In front of the Logistics Manager is the distribution of snap- ogether furniture products. Here's the list: DIST COFFEE END BENCH PATIO KITCHEN TOY TV TOTAL CENTERS TABLES TABLES FURNITURE BOX CENTERS PIECES *WT 45 WT 20 WT 50 WT 60 WT 100 WT WT 80 25 WEST 200 200 200 500 250 600 1000 2950 SOUTH 100 200 200 250 300 600 500 2150 MID- 100 100 200 250 300 600 500 2050 WEST EAST 100 100 200 250 500 600 500 2250 NORTH 100 100 200 250 650 600 500 2400 EAST HINT * ALL SNAP-TOGETHER FURNITURE WEIGHTS ARE IN POUNDS; MULTIPLY EACH ITEMS WEIGHT BY LOCATION QUANTITY Complete the total pieces of furniture for each distribution center above. Use the table below to record the number pallets and trucks needed for shipment. DISTRIBUTION MILEAGE TO NUMBER OF NUMBER OF TOTAL CENTERS DCs PALLETS TRUCKS WEIGHT WEST 1500 SOUTH 1200 MID-WEST 800 EAST NORTH EAST 1500 1200 (HINT. YOU MUST FIND OUT HOW MANY PALLETS YOU NEED BASED ON - ONE TRUCK CAN ONLY HOLD PALLETS AT 1200 POUNDS. EXAMPLE IF YOUR TOTAL WEIGHT OF CARGO IS 185,000 / 1200 = 154.1 OR 154 PALLETS. TO FIND HOW MANY TRUCK YOU WILL NEED DIVIDE TOTAL NUMBER OF PALLETS BY 40, EXAMPLE 154 /40 = 3.85 THAT IS 3 FULL TRUCK LOAD (FIL) AND 1 LESS THANK TRUCKLOAD (LTL) TRUCK. ONCE YOU FIND NUMBER OF PALLETS, NUMBER OF TRUCKS, AND TOTAL WEIGHT FOR THE WEST AND SOUTH, YOU MUST FIND OUT HOW MANY 100'S ARE IN THAT WEIGHT. EACH FTL CAN CARRY 40 PALLETS AND 48,000 POUNDS. YOU NEED 3 FTL TRUCKS, WHICH CARRY A TOTAL OF 144,000 POUNDS. 185,000 -144,000 = 41,000 SO THAT WOULD BE ONE FTL AND ONE LIL. YOUR LTL WOULD CARRY THE REMAINING WEIGHT OF 41,000 POUNDS. IN ORDER TO DO YOUR COST CALCULATIONS, YOU MUST FIND HOW MANY 100'S ARE IN 144,000 POUNDS
