This paper is analysing “DR Corporation” case study by Shapiro. DR Corporation, as a manufacturer of large electrical equipment, is considering a number of proposals regarding the transport of its motors to its manufacturing plant. In order to make the correct decision there are many factors to consider, primarily which will be the most cost effective method of transportation, looking at the inventory, administration and transport costs, but also how feasible are the Companies methods. This paper highlights the importance of supply chain cost calculations in future company strategies and moving businesses forward. It provides background information, addresses the problem statement, evaluates the various transport options and finally provides strategic recommendations for the decision makers. This paper is also looking at what factors are critical to the decision, how to calculate the tradeoffs among transportation costs, inventory costs, and order costs, and how the company's managers should coordinate to make the decision.
