Описание: How Do You Calculate Transportation Cost Per Unit As A Supply Chain KPI? Have you ever wondered how logistics professionals measure the efficiency of transportation operations? In this informative video, we'll explain how to calculate transportation cost per unit, a key performance indicator (KPI) that helps optimize your supply chain. We'll start by discussing what components make up total transportation costs, including fuel, wages, maintenance, tolls, and insurance. You'll learn how to determine the total number of units transported—whether by items, pallets, or volume—and why consistency in measurement is essential for accurate calculations. We’ll walk through the simple formula used to find the cost per unit, and explain how this metric can reveal areas where expenses can be reduced or processes improved. Additionally, we’ll explore factors that influence transportation costs, such as distance, shipment weight, and mode of transport, helping you understand what drives this KPI. Monitoring this metric regularly allows you to identify trends over time, compare different routes or carriers, and negotiate better rates. We’ll also briefly touch on related metrics like cost per mile or per ton-kilometer for a broader view of transportation efficiency. Whether you're managing logistics or seeking to improve supply chain performance, mastering this calculation is essential for making smarter, cost-effective decisions.
