    Decision Analysis Task 2

    The increase in supply shows that the best and optimal distribution pattern is Shanghai would ship 1500 units to warehouse 2. Shuzworld H would ship 300 units to Warehouse 1, and 1800 units to Warehouse 3. Finally, Shuzworld F would ship 2200 units to Warehouse 1. The additional units 1500 are shipped to a dummy warehouse, 1300 units are allocated to Shanghai and 200 units are allocated to Shuzworld H. Again, using the transportation model to implement this shipping plan would reduce the cost associated with shipping from Shuzworld F to Warehouse 3 which is the most expensive route. Additionally, increasing the supply units and storing them in a dummy warehouse decreases the transportation costs. By shipping the excess units to a dummy location does not increase the cost for the company. The transportation model finds the lowest cost by analyzing the different shipping methods.…

Roll-up strategies are hard to disguise, so they invite copycats. As others tried to imitate Service Corporation’s strategy, prices for some funeral homes were eventually bid up to levels that made additional acquisitions uneconomic.…
