Logistics Performance, Cost, and Value Measures - Georgia Tech Global Learning Center - Atlanta, GA USA - Tell a Friend
4 Days. Logistics is now looked upon as a key corporate leverage point for simultaneously increasing shareholder and customer value. Unfortunately, the formal links between logistics performance, cost, and value are not yet well defined. In Logistics Performance, Cost, & Value Measures we describe and demonstrate how improving logistics performance in customer service, fill rate, response time, inventory turns, receivables, transportation efficiencies, and warehousing productivity translate into operating and capital cost reductions and increased shareholder value.
We define the link between logistics performance, cost, and shareholder value; define a full and complementary set of logistics performance benchmarks; and demonstrate how to use logistics performance gap analysis to justify new logistics initiatives.

Supply Chain and Logistics Optimization - Georgia Tech Global Learning Center - Atlanta, GA USA - Tell a Friend

Transportation deregulation, a just-in-time mentality, and global competition have created an enormous number of logistics alternatives for both shippers and carriers.

To gain this advantage, logistics analysts need to develop their expertise in both the decision issues and the technology.
