Freight and Logistics
No defined Benchmark
Decision Criteria (for alternatives)
Determine the obj. for solution (i.e. minimize time to unpack, max. the # of pieces in container, min. the damage)
Brainstorm best way to achieve each objective, one obj. at a time.
Score each component against all objectives
Brainstorm ways of getting components
Gain agreement on the exact way to measure each object

External drivers: X # hours
Tag team drivers
Routes are bid annually
Trucking companies can't find drivers, so they have increased costs to retain and hire - costs are allocated to the client
