The Explanation of Data
Sea:Sea transport requires a 40 foot container, and the total cost of carrying 25 pallets is £620, and the price is £25 per container. So cost per pallet= total mode cost/ pallet, thus the cost per pallet= £620/25= £24.8. The transit time is 7 days.
Air: Because of the need for aircraft transport, so the total cost of £1265, so the cost of transport is £253, and the price is £1265 per 5 pallets. Cost per pallet=total mode cost /pallet, thus the cost per pallet=£1265/5=£253. The transit time is 4 hours.
Rail: Rail mode requires 40 feet of container to carry 25 pallets, so the total cost is £1275, so the price is £51. Cost per pallet=total mode cost/pallet. Thus the cost per pallet=£1275/25=£51. And the transit time is 2 days.
Direct road:A flat bed container lorry can carry 20 pallets, so the total cost is 1350, because the transportation time is 3 days, so cost per pallet=total mode cost/pallet, thus the cost per pallet=£1350/20=£67.5.
Multi-mode:From Milan Glass Works to Genoa Calata should be the freight is £125, in addition to the sea model of £620 and £295 of the railway model, which also need to add the cost of £145 form Coatbridge Rail-port to Kiribati Bottling, Thus Total mode cost=£125+£620+£295+£145=£1185. Total pallet=25. The total mode cost = £1185/25=£47.4. The time =6 hours+7days+5 hours+7 hours=7 days and 18 hours. the total cost equal to £1185.
Explanation:
Summary from the above calculation, the total cost is £1350, so the price of each pallet is £108.so we get the final result is £1350/£108=£12. so the best cost effectiveness is £12.
