TOWER Cold Chain Solutions Launch New White Paper: Total Cost of Shipping
TOWER Cold Chain Solutions develop and publish white paper discussing the components that make up the true cost of shipping. By taking a holistic view the paper illustrates how to reduce total cost and maximise operational inefficiencies.
Reading, United Kingdom, April 6, 2016 (Newswire.com) - The total cost of shipping temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical goods is routinely calculated as packaging plus freight, but this is a misconception with many other related and often overlooked factors within the overall supply-chain contributing to the true total cost
Accurately assessing total shipping costs provides a transparent view of these costs, offering the potential for cost saving measures and operational efficiencies
"I have been involved with temperature-controlled packaging for many years, first as an end-user and also as a supplier. It has always been my personal challenge to find and develop solutions that meet the needs of the market, in terms of performance, cost and quality. This can only be achieved by understanding the true cost of shipping"
Richard Peck, Head of Product Management
The white paper was developed and authored by Richard Peck, Head of Product Management at TOWER Cold Chain Solutions, and is born of many years’ experience in the temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical and logistics industry and Richard’s belief that the real cost of shipping is a frequently misunderstood concept
A total of ten factors are outlined in the white paper as contributing factors to the total cost of shipping, including storage, preparation and qualification of the temperature controlled packaging in use
