TCO Case Study Distribution Example 2015 Version 1.2 11/4/2019 You work for IDC Distributions LLC. You're responsible for sourcing new products. Your company is launching a new product. You've found two possible sources - a domestic manufacturer and a manufacturer based on South Korea. Below are more details about each of the manufacturers. Domestic Manufacturer The domestic manufacturer, Cornhusker Industries (CHI), is a qualified supplier. CHI will produce a finished good in Lincoln Nebraska. From there, finished goods will be shipped via rail to your distribution center in Dallas. It takes CHI 10 days to make an order and then 5 days in transit to your warehouse. Shipping costs are FOB Origin and cost $1,850 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units). Each TEU can hold up to 600 units of your product. CHI proposed a price of $85.00 per unit when responding to your request for proposal Global Supplier The other possible supplier is KBM, which is a highly qualified supplier located just outside of Seoul Korea. KBM ships product via rail to the Port of Busan, which is located in mouth of the Naktong River in South Korea. It is the tenth biggest port in the world based on cargo throughput. When an order is placed with KBM it takes 15 days for KBM to manufacture the order and place the order in TEU8 used for shipping. It takes one day for rail from Seoul to Busan. The shipment will wait 4 days in Busan to be loaded on to a ship. From there it takes 16 days and then 3 additional days to clear customs. Once the shipment clears customers, it is loaded on to rail and shipped FOB origin. It arrives in Dallas in 4 days. Import tariffs and duties are $325 per TEU. Rail shipping costs are $2,250 from Long Beach to Dallas.
