• Where can costs be reduced?
  
  • Reducing transport costs is possible by optimizing routes, grouping shipments, cooperating with other companies, using intermodal transport, stock optimizations and/or negotiating with suppliers. Attention should also be paid to efficient packaging, delivery frequency, sustainability and regular review of transportation contracts and partners.
  • Reduce logistic costs by critically reviewing all warehouse costs.
  • Be able to reduce costs within the supply chain by better aligning all processes.
  • Inventory managementr: optimizing inventory levels to avoid surpluses and shortages.
• Can the technologies be improved? Is there a need for a (better) TMS (Transport Management System), WMS (Warehouse Management System) or tracking system (track&trace, master data, statistics, ...). Or better material handling, order picking or other systems in the warehouse?

• Are your company's logistic and transportation activities sustainable and environmentally friendly or can they be improved?
• What are the opportunities for reducing the carbon footprint?
• Is your management open to a more sustainable solution if it is more expensive than the existing one?
• The advantage of choosing a sustainable solution is the positive image and image of your company among all stakeholders.

• Can customer satisfaction be increased within existing practices? Is customer satisfaction going to remain good (or get better) by implementing the optimization(s)?
