A company based in Shanghai has created a new hand-held unit/cellphone to be imported from China to North America. To support sales on the Prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba), the company has hired your group to make a supply chain/logistics recommendation. They want to locate a single distribution centre (DC) in the Prairies to reach their customers across the three provinces. Since they want to be near TransCanada #1 and are curious about inland ports, I must recommend a location in Calgary, Regina or Winnipeg. I must also advise whether they should locate within an "inland port," e.g., CentrePort (http://www.centreportcanada.ca) in Winnipeg or the Global Transportation Hub (http://www.thegth.com/) in Regina
