    DA Task 2 , JGT 2 2 A. Distribution Pattern The company’s distribution pattern should reveal 1300 units shipping from Shanghai to Warehouse 2. Shuzworld H is currently shipping 300 units to Warehouse 1, shipping 200 units to Warehouse 2, and shipping 1800 units to Warehouse 3. Shuzworld F is shipping 2200 units to Warehouse 1. This current shipping model reveals Optimal Transportation Costs equaling $13,60 0. Th e changes to the production model that was provided would increase shipping and production from the Shanghai plant to 2800 units from the current 1300 units. The increase in production will decrease the transportation costs from this plant by $200. The new plan is also contingent upon the Shanghai plant shipping having the capabilities to ship 200 more units to Warehouse 2. Orig.
