Well, Fred realized, it was kind of a toss-up. But barging was slightly cheaper than trucking when all things were considered. He decided he would recommend to his boss that the mill use barges to ship the linerboard to Seattle.
Fred decided to write a one-page paper to his boss outlining the problem and how he proposed to solve it.
His paper would have three paragraphs:
The Problem. Fred would define the mill’s storage problem and show his boss the number of metric tons of linerboard he needed to ship each day.
Trucking. Fred would quickly summarize the costs involved in trucking that much linerboard.
Barging. Fred would then summarize the costs involved in barging the linerboard. For both shipping options, he would quickly describe to his boss the steps that were involved in shipping the product that way.
