Project Description
Project description:
A significant part of the costs of an intermodal transport company consists of costs for empty repositioning and empty storage costs. We would like you to create an order forecast and create a simulation model based on this forecast to determine the optimal safety stock levels per region per container type and the optimal reposition actions.
Goals of the project:
Minimize the expected storage and reposition costs by:
- Creating an order forecast
- Creating a simulation model to determine the optimal safety stock levels
- Creating a model to determine the optimal reposition actions
Deliverables:
- An order forecast
- Simulation model to determine optimal safety stock levels
- Model to determine the optimal reposition actions
