1yr = 1Million Cases of Wine, 4 wholesale distributors - Riverside, CA; Oakland, CA: Portland, OR; Seattle, WA. 3 Types of wine - Ruby Red, Murky White, and Whole-Earth Organic The grapes used to produce the three varieties differ, and their production volumes (augmented by grapes bought from other growers) must be planned at least a year in advance of being pressed into wine. The wine must be aged a year before being sold. The cost of marketing is included in the wine production costs. Vinho contracts with a private trucking Co. to move full truckloads 1 Full Truck = 24pallets = 2,688 cases = 16,128 bottles. Minimum shipment sold = 1 pallet =112 cases It takes 3.5pounds of grapes to make a bottle of wine $ Red Wine $7.50; White Wine $8.00; Organic Wine $12.00 Vinho has brokers arrange cargo to be carried on the return trip (backhaul) to avoid having their trucks return empty and needing to pay for the round trip. Since little Lodi is not a major transportation destination, only part of the return trip can be used. (For example, the return from Seattle can be used to move cargo from Seattle to Eureka, but not all the way to Lodi). Vinho Winery was recently bought by a private equity firm, and they want an assessment of current operations. Once completed, they want plans to optimize operations. You are the management consultant who will conduct the assessment and develop the plans. You will be required to produce a program spreadsheets for your analysis and conclude with summary statements After discussing wine production with the operations manager, you also learn that the wineries that supply the grapes to produce the above types of wine can produce up to a total of 200,000 pounds of grapes for a six-month supply of wine bottles for the three markets, with the following expected distribution constraints based on types of grapes. Note that current market demand will not support more than the below constraints for each type: Red wine ceiling 22,000 bottles, White wine ceiling 24,000, Organic wine ceiling 12,000 Production cost per bottle remains the same as before, that is, 32% of sales or revenue for red wine, 42.5% of sales for white wine, and 52.5% for organic wine. From the data provided above how can I determine the percentage of wine varieties sold to and from each distribution center. If using the IF function in excel how can I calculate the central tendencies (mean, median, and mode) of shipment volume for each distribution center. How can I analyze the frequency of shipment by size, and how can I show the distribution of shipments to Portland OR and Riverside CA.
