Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G, and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can handle 600 and 700 units, respectively. Logistics Manager, Aretha Franklin, had previously used "Chain of Fools" as her supply chain consulting company, but now turns to you for some solid advice.

- Cogent Technology has computer stores on the West Coast. Their stores are set up like warehouse clubs focusing on high volume. Cogent Technology has a hub set up for their distribution. For instance, to serve the Silicon Valley area, a Cogent Technology warehouse is set up in San Jose to serve nearby stores. Cogent Technology warehouse managers generally purchase their items in bulk to get volume discounts from their vendors. Cogent Technology warehouse has an agreement with the vendors that they can return unsold inventory if it does not sell in six months. Cogent Technology has a policy of fulfilling all customer orders. In some cases when the store managers foresee a stockout situation, they are authorized to buy from other vendors rather than wait for the warehouse to deliver their items. In some cases, the prices bought directly by the store managers are cheaper than what the warehouses buy in bulk. A good example of a sellable item is tablets.

Each trout costs $2.45 and is sold for $3.95. To maintain its reputation for freshness, at the end of the day TFH sells any leftover trout to a local pet food manufacturer for $1.25 each. The owner of TFH wants to determine how many trout to order each day.
