Financial Incentives - Summary
Very small incentive
Difficult to get customers to agree to the
changes
Annual savings for Fowler after incentives
is only $67.50
Is saving $667 per year worth asking
customers to consider other delivery
times?
Key Issues
Change warehouse location.
Address union fringe benefits.
The cost of fuel is always unknown, so
this is a variable risk.
Adjust warehouse working hours.
Utilize one or two smaller trucks to save
fuel expenses.
Our Proposal
Adjust the routes to optimal solution
$188,652 per year
Use 500-capacity trucks
