A. Transport the EOQ quantity to each plant individually, as needed
B. Send one full truckload of Spice to supply all the plants simultaneously in a single trip, on a periodic basis
C. Send 4 full truckloads simultaneously to all the plants, each truck visiting all the locations sequentially, to deliver at each plant, periodically.
