List at least two other factors that shippers should take into consideration when choosing modes to ship products by.
A large manufacturer uses two factors to decide whether to use truck or rail for movement of its products to market: cost and total travel time. The manufacturer uses a utility formula that rates each mode. The formula is U = 6C + 14T, where C is cost ($/ton) and T is time (hrs). For a given shipment of goods, a trucking firm can deliver in 12 hrs and charges $30/ton, whereas a railroad charges $22/ton and can deliver in 16 hrs.
What will be an ideal response?
1. Reliability: Does the mode consistently operate on schedule?
2. Convenience: Which mode can deliver the freight to a serviceable location?
3. Security: Which mode reduces the risk of pilfering.
4. Rideability: Which mode provides the best ride for the product? In other words, which mode is less likely to cause damage to the product while in transit?
