Cost of distribution

For forming of apparent particle s motion in (circular helix) it is necessary to create in addition the tangential constituent of velocity Z - direction. We can create such conditions at the cost of distributed electrical field along Z - axle and then the particle in the submitted structure will move over circular helix. 

By 2010, reduce the cost of distributed production of hydrogen from natural gas and/or liquid fuels to 1.50/kg (delivered, untaxed) at the pump (without carbon sequestration). 

Because the applications of the technology are new, many issues must be resolved, such as The cost of distributing a knowledge base may require a license fee to the expert system shell developer. This is very different from FORTRAN programs which can be distributed as object code, with no fees to the FORTRAN compiler developer. 

Price A prerequisite for the success of free enterprise is efficient, effective, and low-cost distribution. Although the cost of distribution is less than 10% of the price that the customer must pay, it is of the utmost importance to the customer that even this price be reduced. As a percentage of Gross National Product, distribution costs are down from a high of almost 15% to 11%, and as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product, they are down from a high of almost 18% to below 12%. Thus, it is very important that the cost of distribution be even further reduced. 

Centralization There wiU be fewer large centralized warehouses in the future to replace the more numerous, smaUer, decentralized warehouses of the past. There will be fewer managers and administrative people involved with distribution as integrated distribution is pursued and distribution staffs are centralized. Along with the centralization of warehouses and staffs wUl come the centralization of order entry, customer service, and data processing. The increased responsiveness of transportation at lower costs, the focus on the total cost of distribution, the reahties of customer satisfaction, pace, variety, and adaptability—aU are pointed toward the centralization theme. The trend toward centralized distribution wUl result in higher inventory turnover, which wUl in turn lead to new opportunities for automation and sophisticated information systems. 

Third-party logistics Third-party logistics (3PL) is the utilization of an outside firm to perform some or all of the distribution functions presently performed internally. As companies better understand integrated distribution and as distribution leadership better understands the costs of distribution, there will be an increasing trend toward the outsourcing of portions of the distribution function. 

The plan calls for a sales price of 100 with an attractive gross margin before distribution costs of 40. Distribution costs add 10 per unit to the cost. It is likely that the supply chain manager is measured on whether the costs of distribution meet the 10 expectation. The first year sales forecast calls for 100,000 units, producing expected revenues of 10 million. However, this is an innovative product, so actual demand is uncertain. Demand, in the case of the widget, may in fact be significantly more or less than the forecast of 100,000 units. 

Large customer orders One of the drawbacks of risk pooling is that it would increase the outbound transportation cost of distributing the products to the customers due to fewer warehouses. However, if there are several large customer order, economies of scale can be used to lower the outbound transportation costs also.

The costs of distributing food rations can also be high and are determined mainly by the difference between what the government pays for a unit of a commodity included in a distribution program and the price consumers pay. The full cost is often much higher if the costs of production subsidies, storage, and transportation are also taken into account. 

Consolidators or system integrators play an important role in facilitating supplier alliance. They add value in the supply chain in multiple ways reduce the number of transactions, win customer orders, decrease the cost of distribution, and increase search efficiency. 

Although the incremental cost of distributing a multiple micronutrient supplement is likely to be small, the increased benefits may be large. The main cost of the delivery of a nutrient supplement for women of reproductive age is not the cost of the supplement but the cost of the delivery system. Although it may not be working very well, a delivery system already exists for the iron/folate supplements that could be used to provide these other micronutrients. There has been much speculation about the costs of a multiple micronutrient supplement compared to the iron/folate tablet currently procured and provided by UNICEF. Adding the extra nutrients to the iron/folate tablets will not add more than 20% to the cost of the tablet, as long as they are procured in bulk on the international market, as is the case for the current iron/ folate tablets supplied by UNICEF.
