3 Rout Option:

1. Hamburg-Cape Town-Johannesburg
2. Hamburg- Port Elizabeth – Johannesburg
3. Hamburg-Durban - Johannesburg
Option Evaluation
Option Evaluation

We select the third option, because it has a cost-

time relation that is appropriate for the fulfillment
of the orders. Also taking into account that the day
of departure of fuel pump container is Tuesday
and the Steeriling Wheel is Saturday, to avoid
storage costs the best option is 3.
