[Seminar Announcement May 26] Escaping the Black Box: Managing 'True Logistics Costs' and Menu Pricing

Costs in retail logistics often have an opaque structure due to business practices like the "center fee model," making it difficult to grasp the actual situation. As a result, in many cases, true logistics costs are not understood, leading to pressure on profits. Recently, price negotiations have become active against the backdrop of logistics sustainability, but negotiations lacking a basis can deepen conflicts. To ensure both parties look in the same direction, it is essential to visualize the black-boxed cost structure and identify appropriate service levels and prices. This seminar will present a concrete path to building true collaborative relationships, not just superficial ones, towards establishing a sustainable logistics system and achieving overall optimization.
