Caselet 1
World is a worldwide refiners and distributor of fuel products for a automobiles, aircrafts, trucks, and
marine operations, services stations, and bulk facilities as outlets. Keeping more than 1,000 such outlets
supplied is a significant operating problem for the company. Maintaining adequate fuel levels at the auto
service stations is its major concern, because fuel generates the most revenue for the firm and has the
greatest demand for customer service. Being able to forecast usage rates by product at these service

truckload (TL) quantities of 40, 000 lb or more or less-than-truckload (LTL) quantities at $18 per cwt.
Questions:

2. Should Walter change his replenishment order size if the manufacture’s pricing policy were one
where the price in each quantities break includes all units purchased?
