Abstract

This report documents the results of a transportation cost analysis of vendor freight consolidation at the Dallas, TX Regional Freight Consolidation Center (RFCC) contractor operated facility for the 6-month period ending 30 June 1991. Costs for shipping vendor freight through the RFCC are compared to the estimated cost of shipping from the vendor direct to the depot. Cost differentials are computed and savings are estimated. Based on the results of the analysis, the Dallas RFCC saved approximately $148,000 for the 6-month period.
