Many manufacturers subscribe to a just-in-time inventory policy to reduce inventory costs. However, for some parts this reduction in inventory costs comes with substantially increased transportation costs. This project will result in a spreadsheet based decision support tool that will model the trade-off between inventory and transportation costs resulting in optimal schedules indicating time and quantity for part orders. This tool will enhance the competitiveness of a Canadian Logistics Company and of the client companies they serve. As clients include tier 2 and tier 3 automotive companies this project will benefit an economic sector of significant importance to Ontario and Canada.

许多制造商都采用即时库存政策来降低库存成本。 然而，对于某些零件来说，库存成本的降低伴随着运输成本的大幅增加。 该项目将产生一个基于电子表格的决策支持工具，该工具将对库存和运输成本之间的权衡进行建模，从而产生表明零件订单时间和数量的最佳时间表。 该工具将提高加拿大物流公司及其服务的客户公司的竞争力。 由于客户包括二级和三级汽车公司，该项目将使对安大略省和加拿大具有重要意义的经济部门受益。
