Business Finance Homework Help

I’m working on a supply chain case study and need support to help me learn.

Describe a solution for the following logistic problem:

There are 50 orders (see Excel file), and all need to be delivered on the same day. You have 7 vehicles available all with capacity of 500 parcels/boxes. All vehicles leave in the morning at 6 AM from the DC and have to be back not later than 3 PM.

Propose a planning for these 50 orders so that total costs to deliver all the orders are as low as possible and estimate the total costs of planning (take into account costs per mile and operating costs of vehicle).

Note: you are not expected to make (detailed) calculations, but to use estimations and a global

solution.
