4) A major automobile manufacturer located in Georgetown, Kentucky, has two certified vendors that produce brake pads with the following information. Audubon Manufacturing is located in Columbus, Ohio, and LaPlaya Manufacturing is located in Monterrey, Mexico. The automobile assembly factory is assumed to operate 340 days per year. Details for the annual part and logistics cost for Audubon and LaPlaya for an annual demand of 1,000,000 is given below:
| Total Annual Logistics Cost (TALC) Analysis | Audubon | LaPlaya |
| C = Wholesale or retail price per unit considering price breaks | $11.80 | $10.85 |
| Tc = country import or export tariff cost per unit, if any | $- | $0.46 |
| Tm = cost per unit to ship by air, ship, truck and/or rail | $0.90 | $1.25 |
| Sub Total (C + Tc + Tm) | $12.70 | $12.56 |
| D = Forecast annual demand in units = | 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Q = Typical order quantity in units= | 50,000 | 100,000 |
| Average Number orders per year (D/Q) = | 20 | 10 |
| Co = cost to place one order = | $155.00 | $195.00 |
| Ch = cost to store one unit in inventory for one year = | $1.45 | $1.10 |
| L = lead time in days = | 45 | 100 |
| Yd = days per year = | 340 | 340 |
| d = average daily demand in units (D/Yd) = | 2,941.18 | 2,941.18 |
| (C + Tc + Tm)*D | $12,700,000 | $12,560,000 |
| Co(D/Q) | $3,100 | $1,950 |
| [Q/2 + d*L]Ch | $228,162 | $378,529 |
| TALC = | $12,931,262 | $12,940,479 |
