Logistics Costs
Logistics Costs: satisfying the multiple business needs efficiently
Each company must handle the distribution of their own products and services: this activity often has significant strategic-competitive implications. The connected costs, however, are managed by different business units, each one with different, sometimes opposed objectives.
It is thus very complex to optimize logistics costs from within. The sales department tends to offer clients an excellent service, the procurement office often have their hands tied by commercial obligations, the shipping office tends to be too loyal to a certain supplier. This is exactly why the interventions that deal with assessing the suitability of internal processes and behaviour as a unified vision are highly appreciated because they can reassure management or highlight certain organizational gaps that need to be addressed. The Competence Centre for Logistics Costs has accrued considerable experience on clients of different sizes who belong to different product sectors, with different needs and peculiarities, both national and international.
