Substantial savings
Reduction of transport costs in the chemical industry is often regarded as an outdated topic. However, in practice, substantial savings on transport are still possible. Based on IG&H experience in supply chain projects, a transport cost saving of 3-7% is almost always possible - even for companies with good rates - without compromising service levels, quality and environmental, health and safety performance. For a chemical company with euro100m0 -worth of annual transport costs, this means a euro3-7m better figure on the bottom line results.
