Section I: Introduction (200 words)
In general, what are the qualitative pros and cons for domestic sales of having multiple distribution centers and shipping locations in the United States?
Section II: Decision-Making Criteria (300 words)
The CEO is considering three options with the same total construction and operating costs: expanding the warehouse next to the East Coast manufacturing plant; building a West Coast distribution center; or building a combination manufacturing and warehouse location on the West coast given the following general information, what are at least 5 criteria that must be considered when locating a new or expanded shipping warehouse domestically?
The products are primarily medium- and large-size insulated coolers, like you might use for a picnic or trip to the beach. Transportation firms charge by space, or cubic feet, rather than weight, which is the more normal method.
The coolers are made of 3 components, which are all produced by suppliers solely on the East Coast; the raw materials to make this product are bulky, and inbound shipping from the East Coast suppliers currently represents 20% of total raw material costs.
The market is very competitive with generally stable or decreasing marketplace prices.
In states that are warm year-round, sales are pretty steady; in states that have seasons, 90% of sales occur in the May–August period.
Right now, to keep West Coast customers happy, the CEO says that they only charge those customers the local freight cost of shipping, which is $200 for anything up to half a truckload.

Assignment 2: Required Assignment 1—Genesis Energy Cash Position Analysis
The Genesis Energy operations management team is now preparing to implement the operating expansion plan. Previously, the firm’s cash position did not pose a challenge. However, the planned foreign expansion requires Genesis Energy to have a reliable source of funds for both short-term and long-term needs.
One of Genesis Energy’s potential lenders tells the team that in order to be considered as a viable customer, Genesis Energy must prepare and submit a monthly cash budget for the current year and a quarterly budget for the subsequent year. The lender will review the cash budget and determine whether or not Genesis Energy can meet the loan repayment terms. Genesis Energy’s ability to repay the loan depends not only on sales and expenses but also on how quickly the company can collect payment from customers and how well it manages its supplier terms and other operating expenses. The Genesis Energy team members agreed that being fully prepared with factual data would allow them to maximize their position as well as negotiate favorable financing terms.
The Genesis Energy management team held a brainstorming session to chart a plan of action, which is detailed here.
Evaluate historical data and prepare assumptions that will drive the planning process.
Produce a detailed cash budget that summarizes cash inflow, outflow, and financing needs.
Identify and compare interest rates, both short-term and long-term, using debt and equity.
Analyze the financing mix (short/long) and the cost associated with the recommendation.
