WM case study II:
Motivation: After having finished the Warehouse Management II case study successfully you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario: The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. The distribution center in San Diego will be delivering customers very soon. In order to do so you need to ensure that there are enough black Deluxe Touring Bikes available on stock. Unfortunately, you cannot order any from your plant in Dallas, because due to problems with one of the assembly lines there are no free resources available. In order to have 50 black Deluxe Touring Bikes (estimation by the management) in San Diego on time you need to order them from your plant in Heidelberg (Germany). The delivery time is 10 days maximum.
As soon as the goods arrive in your DC in San Diego they need to be stored in the same bin where the black Touring Bikes from this case study already are.
Tips: You can use the Warehouse Management II case study as a guideline but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.

The customer VeloDOM from Magdeburg (Germany) has ordered 20 black Professional Touring Bikes with a delivery time of 10 days.
Tips You can use the case study Warehouse Management III as a guideline, but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.
