Reducing Supply Chain Costs
An effective reuse program can significantly reduce total supply chain costs. The most noticeable way is multiple reuses of the same shipping solution, decreasing packaging costs compared to one-time usage. A solution priced such that it can be treated as a supply items and expensed should be selected. The ordering and receipt process for the reusable solution will then be no different than one-time-use shipping solutions.
After identifying a supplier that meets the necessary criteria for a successful reuse program, it is essential that both parties have extensive dialogue about packaging and performance requirements, resulting in the correct shipping solution and specifications.
