Supply Chain Cost Reduction: Transportation (PowerPoint PPTX)

Companies looking to improve efficiency and reduce costs can gain significant ground in the Supply Chain function. Reason this area has gone under the radar is that companies do not consider Supply Chain to be their core competency.

Not only Warehousing, but Transportation also has almost the same potential in terms of opportunities for Cost Reduction and Process Efficiencies. In fact, a full-picture analysis of Transportation presents a 20-30% Costs Saving opportunity. The approach to Transportation Costs Reduction, though, is different to that of Warehousing.

This presentation discusses in detail the 2-phased approach to Transportation Cost Reduction:

1. Understand the Baseline
2. Identify and Implement Opportunities

We discuss phase in depth. Within the second phase, we specifically discuss 4 levers of Cost Reduction opportunities:

1. Compliance with Contracted Price
2. Negotiated Price
3. Contract Terms
4. Customer Breakpoints and Behavioral Changes

The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
