Transshipments Dr. Herer s Research Interests Yale T. Herer (all rights reserved) Page 10
Transshipment Definition: A Transshipment is the movement of stock between locations at the same echelon level. Dr. Herer s Research Interests Yale T. Herer (all rights reserved) Page 11
Without Transshipments 1 unit short 9 units surplus ARG! Dr. Herer s Research Interests Yale T. Herer (all rights reserved) Page 12
With Transshipments 0=1 1 unit short 8=9 1 units surplus YEA! Dr. Herer s Research Interests Yale T. Herer (all rights reserved) Page 13
