The

case study mentions

attacks in the Suez Canal and the effect of climate change on the Panama Canal.

This has influenced global shipping routes. In the aftermath

of recent attacks in the Red Sea, vessels are opting to bypass the

Suez Canal and navigate around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope. This shift has disrupted the crucial global shipping routes,

compelling ships to add another 15 days to their journeys, accompanied by

increased costs. These cargo delays and increased delivery times will

influence supplier selection and assessment. Look at figure 5.2 in the

prescribed book. Due to the above scenario the evaluation criteria change as

follows:

On-time delivery (15)

Fill-rate (0)

Cost reduction materials (5)

Cost reduction transport (20)

Question

: Comparing the cost totals and delivery totals of the respective suppliers

after adapting the weights, how has the scenario changed? (This question only relates

to the cost and delivery weights and totals.)
