Index
The delivery cost depends on the order profile, region and occurrence. A logistics dashboard should allow comparing equivalent operations and locating the composition of the result.
How to evaluate this decision
Define the cost unit and which expenses are included in the calculation. Separate delivery, attempt and redelivery. Promised and fulfilled dates must have a clear origin; Changing the promise after the delay can mask performance. Relate occurrences to the order without losing differences between items or volumes when the operation requires this detail.
Criteria for comparing proposals
- Cost: document apportionments and distinguish direct expenses from estimated allocations.
- Deadline: preserve the commitment reference and actual events.
- Occurrences: classify cause, responsibility and action, avoiding too generic categories.
A scenario to discuss with the supplier
Hypothetical example: a region requires more attempts due to receiving restrictions. Comparing your cost with simple deliveries without segmentation can guide an inappropriate decision about carriers.
What to validate upon delivery
Reconcile sample orders with events and expenses. Test partial delivery, return and redelivery to check denominators and avoid double counting.
