Study of Trade-off in Logistics Profit Analysis

  A important concept that supports total cost system approach in logistics strategy is cost trade-off. This acknowledges that changing patterns or functions of logistics strategy will cause some costs to increase and cause other costs to decrease. For example, high interest rate result in high inventary carrying costs, promoting firms to adopt various methods -- usually computer-based -- to control and reduce inventories. The net effect of cost trade-off, however, should be an overall cost decrease for a given level of performance, whether for the customer or for another department of the firm. Therefore, the concept of cost trade-off is very important in logistics strategy.
