Logistics Optimization
Logistics improvements can have measurable impact in a short timeframe. Research has shown that a 5-percent reduction in transportation cost has the same profit and loss impact as a 30-percent increase in sales. Not only can companies get sustained cost savings, logistics improvements generally lead to increased service levels as well.
At Hitachi Consulting, our logistics and transportation solutions include:
- Transportation assessments
- Process improvement projects
- Technology selection and implementation
- Organization optimization
See how we helped:
