A decision-making model for controlling logistics costs

Nedostatno poznavanje logističkih troškova, posebice u pogledu njihove cjelovitosti i međusobne ovisnosti, vodi do toga da na štetu nužnog planiranja logističkih troškova prevagnu interesi pojedinačnih službi unutar poduzeća koji nisu u skladu s općim interesima poslovnog procesa poduzeća. Suočeni s tim problemom izradili smo model koji uzima u obzir sve logističke troškove u jednom poduzeću i koji predstavlja važno oruđe odlučivanja za zaposlenike svih razina i funkcija. Taj model smo testirali na specifičnom proizvodu jednog poduzeća iz automobilske industrije i ustanovili da nam on omogućava veću kontrolu nad logističkim troškovima i poboljšava kvalitetu informacija o logističkim troškovima.A lack of understanding of logistics costs, particularly in terms of their integrity and interdependence, allows for the interests of individual departments within a company, which are not always in line with the common interests of the business process of the company, to take precedence over necessary logistics cost planning. In order to address this problem, we have developed a model that takes into account all the logistical costs within a company and represents an important decision-making tool that can be used by employees at different levels of the organization, covering different business functions. We have tested the model on a specific product in a company that operates in the automotive industry and determined that the model enables us to have greater control over logistics costs and improves the quality of information on logistics costs
