Total transportation cost

If we should consider the total transportation cost formula we must at least include the compressor costs. It is easily demonstrated (see for example Dahl and Osmundsen (2002)) that the compressor costs do not invalidate the demonstrated economics of scale. The work done by the compressors depend on the so-called compression ratio Pt (compressor outlet pressure) divided by the pressure at the compressor inlet (the suction pressure). If we keep the compressor ratio fixed, the necessary compressor work per unit gas, and hence the compressor related cost per unit gas, will not increase as the diameter and flow increase.37... 

However, the fundamental economical criterion of any transport system is not the power consumption, but the total transport cost per unit mass and distance. Goedde [18] made the comparison of the total unit transport cost of the coal-methanol mixture pipelining with coal-water mixture pipelining, railway and barges transport. He pointed out that the transport of coal in methanol could be significantly profitable and competitive compared with the rest of the above-mentioned kinds of transport. Therefore, the attention... 

As transport costs within the country of destination only make up approximately a third of total transport costs it was not deemed worthwhile to further split up the transport costs to reflect the fact that only freight costs until the product reaches the border of the destination country have to be included. 

After all, we have formulated mathematically the problem as a mixed-integer programming problem stated below. The objective function is composed of the total transportation cost between every facility, the total production cost at plant, and the total operational cost at each facility, the total holding cost at DC over the planning horizon, and the total fixed-charge for the open DCs. 

The United States Energy Information Administration reports free-on-board coal prices defined as "A sales transaction in which the seller makes the product available for pick up at a specified port or terminal at a specified price and the buyer pays for the subsequent transportation and insurance." Prices, therefore, include a portion of the total transportation costs. 

In addition to the capital costs associated with truck transport of gaseous hydrogen, annual fuel costs are based on the number of trips required, the travel distance, and the price of diesel. The final cost that is included in the total transportation cost is the labor cost... 

Facilities Establish the optimal location of a plant or distribution center with respect to total transportation costs between various alternative locations and existing supply and demand sources. 

The transportation models discussed in this chapter assume that the location of the facilities involved is given. Obviously, the location of various facilities plays an important role in the total transportation costs incurred. The location of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers plays a major role in the quality of service and competitiveness of a manufacturer, while transfer terminals and depot facilities greatly influence the cost structure and effectiveness of a transportation company. 

Other costs such as transportation may or may not vary with the number of orders. For example, a transportation manager, measured by costs for transportation, will want to get the cheap rates that go with sending full tmcks, referred to as truckload quantities. The full truck is the equivalent of a batch for this manager, and his measure is likely to be total transportation cost or even total supply chain cost of which transport costs are a portion. This measure could have a negative effect on customer service because the full tmck constraint can reduce the frequency of delivery. So, a local optimum overrides a higher goal — and perhaps results in lost business. 

The economic objective, Fi, is measured by the total CLSC cost, including total material purchasing cost (PC), total installation cost (BC), total production cost (MC), total capacity expansion cost (CEC), total transportation cost (TC), and total disposal cost (DC). The environmental objective, F2, is measured by the total carbon (CO2) emission, including total production carbon emission (PCOE), total installation carbon emission (BCOE), and total transportation carbon emission (TCOE) in all the CLSC. For a MCSCD problem, we also need to consider material supply constraints, flow conservation constraints, capacity expansion and limitation constraints, and transportation constraints. Consequently, the MCSCD problem may be formulated as a multi-objective mixed integer programming model. 

CEC) equals the sum of total capacity expansion costs in FL and RL. Equations (7) and (8) are total transportation cost (TC) between different production units of consecutive stages in FL and RL, respectively. Equation (9) is total transportation cost from RUs to PUs. Equation (10) is total disposal cost (DC) in RL due to the defect products generated from the recycling processes. 

Transportation Costs. As a result of online sales, total transportation costs in the DeU supply chain are higher than in a supply chain selling hardware through distributors and retailers. Whereas the transportation cost increase is a small fraction of the cost of a high-end customized server, it can be a large fraction of the cost of a low-end standardized laptop.

Figures. exhibits the economic characterization of each approach. As expected, the flexible model renders higher total transportation cost due to the transferring of S3 whereas the total production cost is lower because each equipment technology is installed to its corresponding lowest operating cost location. The lower production cost and higher revenue offset the increased investment and transportation costs.
