| OUTSOURCING
|
The industry is under extreme competitive pressure, the companies are more than forced to reduce their costs. The incoming orders and therefore the capacity of production, warehouse space, personnel and the required transport capacity fluctuate for seasonal reasons in many companies. When these capacities are not used to the full these costs remain fixed costs in the case of own investments. An external logistics specialist, on the contrary, can, with the help of warehouse and transport synergies, balance these fluctuations with other outsourcing business. Outsourcing thereby makes the fixed costs in a company variable, as the specialist is only paid according to his actual performance. |
