From the supplier: Carrier reduction's impact on and interaction with other logistics programs is analyzed. The practice involves a shipper's distribution of freight movement to fewer transportation carriers. The study found that carrier reduction bears favorably on logistics performance and shipper/carrier relationships. It also improves customer service, lessens loss and damage, enhances delivery, and decreases total logistics expenses. The study also suggests that carrier reduction, along with other logistics programs such as electronic data interchange and just-in-time inventory systems, improves shipper performance.
