The Interrelation of Logistics Costs in Managing the Nickel Cadmium Battery Program.
Abstract
Logistics costs are the summation of all costs associated with the four facets of logistics: procurement, supply, transportation and maintenance. Optimization of one of these logistic facets can result in the suboptimization of total logistics costs. The thesis evaluates the effect of a change in maintenance concept in the management of nickel cadmium batteries. It evaluates logistics costs during two phases of management and projects costs based upon a third management concept. Graphic presentations serve to illustrate the effect of these management changes on total logistics costs. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made to improve logistics management. (Author)
