Your company assembles five different models of a motor scoorer that is sold in speciaity stoces in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models You have been given the ossignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the caming year, Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restriktions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,360 units Because of the unique charecteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you ogree to reimburse the supplier, Your assistant hos obtained quotes from two relisble eng ne suppllers and you need to decide which to use The fonowing data have been collected. Nore: Assume that half of the lot size is in inventory, on wverage (1.360/2=680 units) Two quained suppliers hove submitted the followng quotntions: Nore: Assume that half of the lot size is in inventory, on average (1,360/2=680 unith) Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations: Your assistant has obtained the following freight rates from your carrier: Truckioad (46,000 pound each load): So. 30 per tonimile Less-than-truekload: \$1.20 per ton-mi1e Note: Per ton-mile =2.000 pound per mile a-1. Calculate the fotal cost for each suppliec, (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) a-1. Calrulate the toral cost for each supplec. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number) a-2. Which supplier would you select? Supplier 1 Suppler 2 b-1. If you could move the lot size up to ship in truckiond quantities, calculate the total cost for each suppler (Do not round intermediate calrulations. Round "Penuired lot cize for truekload" and final ancwers to the nearest whole number.) b-1. If you could move the iot size up to ship in trucklosd quantites, calculate the total cost for each supplief (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Required lot size for truckload" and final answers to the nearest whole number.) HINT Use ffull truckload cost rotes and the lowest (feasible) unit cost for all calculations. For exampie, if there are 8.3 orders per year, don't split the 8.3 orders into 8 full truckloads and 0.3 less-than-truckloads - use the full truckload rate for all 8.3 orders. For annual purchase cost, don't use two different unit costs for the 8 complete orders and the 0.3 portial orders - use the lowest (feasible) unit cost for all 8.3 purchase orders based on the lot size needed for a full truckioad. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. b-2. Would your supplier selection change? don't split the 8.3 orders into 8 full truckloads and 0.3 less-than-truckloads - use the full truckiosd rate for all 8.3 orders. For annual purchase cost don t use fwo different unit costs for the 8 complete orders and the 0.3 partiat orders - use the lowest (feasible) unit cost for all 8.3 purchase orders based on the lot size needed for a full truckiood b-2. Would your supplier selection change? Yese No
