Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Engaging a third-party logistics (3PL) company would allow the company to focus on its core manufacturing competence while the 3PL manages the transportation strategy and reduces costs on their behalf. Implementing a transportation management system (TMS) or transitioning to leased transportation equipment might help with cost reduction, but they don't address the focus on core manufacturing competence. Redesigning the distribution network might also be beneficial, but it doesn't necessarily address the cost reduction objective.
