    The document discusses a logistics project involving distribution centers (DC) and fulfillment centers (FC). It outlines assumptions around transportation and loading times. It also discusses factors that impact costs like perishable goods proportions and fuel efficiency. Increasing workforce during non-overlapping hours and reducing batching/loading times are proposed to improve speed. Tracking demand trends and minimizing distances between centers are approaches to reduce costs through better coordination and estimation.

    ASSUMPTIONS

    ➢ No further delay in the transportation time and batching loading time


    ➢ Trucks arrive exactly at the time window allotted in DC and FC
    ➢ The opening hours of DC and FC, i.e., 9am to 4pm and 2pm to 7am respectively are fully
    utilised and no breaks are taken in between.
    ➢ Left over from DC to FC are not piling up at FC seven if not decreasing.

    COST

    ➢ Proportion of perishable and non-perishable items


    ➢ Fuel efficiency of the big crates in comparison to small crates
    ➢ Workspace
    ➢ Estimation of perishable items effectively to minimise left-over return

    SPEED

    ➢ Workforce
    ➢ Effective utilization of the operating hours

    APPROACHES

    ➢ To increase workforce are DC during non-overlapping hours of FC and DC


    ➢ To increase workforce for reducing the batching plus loading hours
    ➢ Effective estimation of perishable items to be transferred by tracking the demand trend
    ➢ Better coordination between the centres so that run-time cost reduces
    ➢ To evaluate and reroute to minimise the DC-DC and FC-DC distances
