A framework for cost-service analysis in differentiation of logistics services

Article Abstract:

Logistics management should be separated into its cost-control and customer-service functions to avoid the usual overemphasis on the former at the expense of the latter. The customer-service approach has several service elements and the company competes with others in this area by differentiating its service level from that of others. This differentiation is done in the logistics planning stage.
