Zusammenfassung:A method for enabling enhanced decision-making when shipping parts between sites within an organization includes receiving a plurality of orders to deliver parts from a first site to a second site. The method determines a shipping option for shipping the parts from the first site to the second site and, for each of the orders, a transportation risk associated with the shipping option. The transportation risk varies in accordance with a probability that the shipping option will result in a delay, and an amount of revenue that will be affected as a result of the delay. The transportation risk for each of the orders is displayed in a matrix. The method further enables a user to modify the shipping option to adjust the position of each transportation risk within the matrix. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.
