Our goal in this problem is to compare the use of LTL, TL separatel for each supplier, and TL with

suppliers. The LTL calculations are in cells B28-34, the TL with a single supplier calculations are in
aggregated supplier calculations are in Cells E21-26. Costs for the three policies are shown in Cell
