DM Office Products (DMOP) is a wholesale supplier of office products with one facility in Pennsylvania. It has decided to build a new distribution warehouse in the state of New York to help serve the growing demand in that market. It has four major customers located in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and New York City. Though New York City is the largest market, it also has the greatest competition, and DMOP is not a major player there. When DMOP ships an order to a customer, it uses its own small fleet of two trucks to deliver, so the cost of delivery is essentially the same for a full or partially full truck.

he has worked with these customers for a long time, and promised deliveries that were not made.
Johann asked the production manager for an explanation. She told him that ‘Our own suppliers were late in delivering certain types of wood. This shortage of a key raw material disrupted our production plans. We cannot be blamed for this. If anyone in the company is to blame, it is the warehouse manager who does not keep enough stocks of raw materials to cover for late deliveries.’
Johann then went…
