A MANUFACTURER SUPPLIES A PRODUCTION SCHEDULE ON HOURLY BASIS. THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE CONTAINS SHIPMENT DEADLINES OF CARGO TRUCKS FOR TRANSPORTATION REGIONS. WHEN AN ORDER IS RECEIVED FROM A CUSTOMER, THE LATEST SHIPMENT DEADLINE THAT SATISFIES THE DESIRED DEADLINE IS DESIGNATED. COMMODITIES FOR THE ORDER ARE SECURED AND ALLOCATED IN THE DIRECTION OF WHICH TIME IS TRACED BACK FROM A REFERENCE POINT OF A DESIGNATED SHIPMENT DEADLINE. THE SHIPMENT DEADLINE IS DESIGNATED SO THAT CARGO TRUCKS CAN MEET AT A TRANSSHIPMENT BASE. COMMODITIES ARE TRANSSHIPPED AT A TRANSSHIPMENT BASE AND DELIVERED TO A RECIPIENT. SINCE COMMODITIES ARE ALLOCATED TO CUSTOMERS, THE COMMODITIES CAN BE EFFECTIVELY DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMERS WHILE THEIR REQUESTS ARE SATISFIED.
