Overcoming Soaring Fuel Costs Due to International Affairs! Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting Releases "Practical Manual for Logistics Cost Structure Reform"

Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Naoyuki Hashimoto; hereinafter "Funai Soken SC") has released its original document, the "Practical Manual for Logistics Cost Structure Reform," to respond to the soaring fuel costs associated with the tense international situation and to rebuild a sustainable supply chain.

Background of the Document Release: The Crisis of Collapse Facing Conventional Logistics Models

Currently, due to the sharp rise in fuel prices against the backdrop of a tense international situation, conventional logistics models are facing an unprecedented crisis.

Merely implementing ad-hoc measures to cope with cost increases makes it difficult to maintain the delivery network itself. To build a system that can "continue to transport" stably without being affected by such external environments, "logistics structure reform" led by shipper companies is essential.

Main Contents Explained in This Document

This document explains specific practical methods to solve the challenges faced by logistics managers, focusing on the following three perspectives:

1. Introduction of Fuel Surcharge and Optimization of Freight Rates It presents a method for building a sustainable transaction foundation with logistics partners by introducing a fuel surcharge system that appropriately reflects fluctuations in fuel costs.

2. Transparency of Transactions: Reduction of Waiting Time and Charging for Incidental Work It visualizes the cost structure by taking decisive action to reduce truck drivers' waiting times and to charge for incidental work (ancillary tasks other than loading and unloading) that has often been treated as a "service."

3. Price Negotiation Based on Objective Data It discloses key points for price negotiations using objective market data and simulations so that both parties can reach an agreement with a sense of mutual understanding.
