There are several basic ways for enterprises to reduce logistics costs.

Rationalization of transportation. Transportation cost accounts for a large proportion in the whole logistics cost, generally accounting for more than 1/3 from the perspective of developed countries in Europe, so transportation rationalization is also an important way to reduce logistics cost. The transportation cost depends largely on the transportation volume and mode, and the corresponding transportation volume is determined according to the principle of minimum total logistics cost. When the traffic volume is constant, the mode of transportation becomes the main factor affecting the transportation cost. Rationalization of storage. Storage cost also accounts for a considerable proportion in the whole logistics cost. Determine the appropriate inventory according to the principle of minimizing the total logistics cost. Given the inventory, ABC inventory classification can be used to control the inventory cost; "first in first out" method; Container, pallet integration and other methods. Rationalization of packaging and loading and unloading can also reduce logistics costs, such as avoiding damage or waste of packaging materials in the process of commodity circulation due to insufficient or excessive packaging; It can reduce the loading and unloading times, shorten the handling distance, improve the loading and unloading activity and realize the rationalization of loading and unloading.
