質問 # 68
A company produces and distributes its products in the continental United States, mostly to customers located in metropolitan areas. The company conducts an ABC analysis to classify items, and determines that A and B items have variable demand, while C items have relatively stable demand. The logistics group wants to use this information to minimize transportation costs. Which of the following is the BEST combination of modes for the firm to use in order to minimize costs?

  • A. Use motor carriage for A and B items, intermodal rail for C items, and air freight only as needed
  • B. Use water service for A and B items, motor carriage for C items, and air freight only as needed
  • C. Use air freight for A and B items, motor carriage for C items, and intermodal rail only as needed
  • D. Use intermodal rail for A and B items, air freight for C items, and motor carriage only as needed

正解:A

解説:
To minimize transportation costs, the logistics group should use motor carriage for A and B items, intermodal rail for C items, and air freight only as needed. Motor carriage provides flexibility and is cost-effective for variable demand items (A and B items), especially when these items need timely deliveries in metropolitan areas. Intermodal rail is ideal for C items with stable demand as it is more cost-effective for transporting large volumes over long distances. Air freight, being the most expensive, should be reserved for urgent needs only.
This combination leverages the strengths of each transportation mode to optimize cost and efficiency.
