1. Use the Internet to locate alternative suppliers for motorcycle fuel tanks.

Identify

two or three suppliers. Find out the amount of time and cost to ship a fuel tank

(weighing about five pounds) by ground (surface delivery) from each supplier to

Dirt Bikes in Carbondale, Colorado. Which supplier is most likely to take the

shortest amount of time and cost the least to ship the fuel tanks?

Following suppliers for motorcycle fuel tanks have been found on the internet:

 RevZilla

 Motorsport Superstore

 Rocky Mountain ATV MC

Details on the time and cost of shipping a fuel tank are presented in the table below:

Supplier Listed Price of Shipping Time with Cost


Fuel Tank
RevZilla $197.06 - $413.96 - Free shipping cost for standard shipping
(1 to 5 business days, order over $75)
- $19.99 for 3-day shipping
- $29.99 for 2-day shipping
- $59.99 for next day shipping
Motorsport $197.05 - $413.95 - Free shipping cost for standard shipping
Superstore (1 to 5 business days, order over $75)

Rocky $175.99 – $295.99 - Free three-day shipping for order over
Mountain ATC $75

Based on the shipping time, all of the suppliers offer a similar service. For RevZilla

and Motorsport Superstore, standard shipping, 3-day shipping, and 2-day shipping cost the

same. But, RevZilla has a lower shipping cost for next day delivery. On the other hand,
Rocky Mountain offers free shipping for up to 3-days. With its standard shipping charge

being $7, 2-day and 1-day shipping also cost less compared to RevZilla and Motorsport. So,

Rocky Mountain ATC MV is most likely to take the shortest amount of time and cost the

least to ship the fuel tanks.

management software for a small business that would be appropriate for Dirt

Bikes. Use the Internet to locate two supply chain management software

providers for companies such as Dirt Bikes. Briefly describe the capabilities of

the two software applications and indicate how they could help Dirt Bikes.

management system, transportation management system, supplier relationship
