Presentación del Caso
Senco Electronics company (Senco) is a US based contract manufacturer of Laptop and personal computers. All of its current assembly operations are
located in the United States and primarily serve the US Market. Transportation in the United States from Senco sites to its customers is primarily performed
by motor carriers. Rising costs in its US operations have caused Senco to begin construction of a new assembly plant in China.
This plat will be used to satisfy the growing demand for laptop and personal computers in the United States. Traci Shannon, executive vice president of
supply chain management for Senco, is concerned with how Senco will transport its sonal computers in the United States. “We have always had the
luxury of a very well-developed ground transportation infrastructure in the United States to move our products. Now we will be faced with moving
enormous quantities of electronic products across several thousand miles of ocean. We really don’t have that much experience with other modes of
transportation.
“Skip Grenoble, Director of logistics for Senco, was called on for his advice. “obviously, we need to decide on whether to use ocean or air
transportation to move our products from the new facility. Air transportation will cost more than ocean but will result in lower inventory costs because of
the faster transit for our U.S distribution centers. Using either mode will require some fixed investment in loading/unloading facilities at both the new
plant and our US distribution centers.
Projected annual demand from the new Facility is 1.5 million pounds. However, we expect this demand to grow by 10 percent annually over the next
five years. Although the air transportation system appears to be more expensive option right now, we need to take into consideration our growth and
how each mode will help us achieve our profit and service goal” The relevant cost information for each alternative is presented din the following table.

Preguntas del Caso 1:
If you were Skip Grenoble, which alternative would you advise Ms. Shannon to implement?
What criteria you use to arrive at your decision?
En vía aérea, aunque más rápido, es más complicado transportar, no solo se selecciona
por temas de volumen sino también por los costos de logística que se planifica a en los 8
años analizados. De la misma manera los costos van relacionados con el transporte,
almacenaje, maniobras .
