It is considered that Random transportation capacity of the third party logistics provider and variable transit time, and study analytically the implication of a controlled transit time and a random transportation capacity on the optimal shipping strategy. After formulating the general model, the optimal shipment size and transit time between a origin and a destination have been developed to achieve the logistics cost minimization. Particularly, we have shown that the expected total cost is a unimodal function and quasi-convex in the shipment size. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and perform the sensitivity analysis. Some useful observations are made from the sensitivity analysis.
