Potential analysis and cost reduction

Potential analysis: Unlocking your potential

The aim is to identify and quantify potential savings in transport structures, and to draw up an effective catalogue of measures to improve them in the short term.

Typical questions:

• What process-oriented services does my company provide?
• What are the costs?
• How can the costs be allocated to the processes based on their cause?
• What is the size of peer companies?
• What are the benchmarks based on cost drivers?
• Where am I competitive, where am I not (yet)?
• What are the targets for each cost driver?
• What improvements are realistically achievable?
• What is the potential for improvement?
• What actions are required to achieve the target?
• In what order can the measures be implemented?

Service range potential analysis and cost reduction

• Determine actual performance and cost structure using appropriate metrics
• Identify cost drivers and KPIs
• Comparison of target performance and cost structures derived from an industry benchmark
• Identifying potential savings through strategic and/or operational tour simulation
• Identify savings potential through freight rate comparisons
• Identify measures to achieve targets
• Implementation support

Using a potential analysis combined with industry-specific benchmarking, we can quickly provide an overview of the current performance and cost structure of your distribution. We use special monitoring to identify areas where savings can be made.

On this basis, the necessary measures to achieve the target can be derived. It is usually advisable to prioritise these measures and to include them in an implementation plan, taking into account any time dependencies.

As logistics consultants, we are happy to support you in the implementation phase and thus contribute to the success of your company.
