Cost-Based Freight Procurement

Quelle: https://cscmp.org/CSCMP/Educate/SCM_Definitions_and_Glossary_of_Terms.aspx

Cost-Based Freight Procurement is a logistics and supply chain sourcing approach where freight services are contracted based on the carrier’s calculated actual costs (direct costs such as fuel, labor, equipment, and indirect costs like overhead) plus a predetermined margin. This method ensures transparent and predictable pricing rather than relying solely on market-driven rates.
