Total value of U.S internation trade is advancing at a compound annual rate of almost 7%, expected to exceed $2.5 trillion per year, and the trade imbalance continues to increase. Imports are growing at an annual rate of 9% while export value is increasing about 4% per year, with exports of services accounting for 30% of toal value.
In order to capture this demand, DCG Corplan's research and marketing tools assist ports to increase their annual throughput by quantifying total movements, measuring loss to competing terminals, and recommending ways to recapture this tonnage. For cargo growth deversification, we help you to identify key shippers and consignees, produce pro-active and persuasive marketing documents, and assess your requisite capital outlays and the return on these investments.
Logistics activity creates place (transportation) and time (storage) utility and relates to "physical distribution," or the movement and handling of goods from point of production to the point of consumption. From a management viewpoint, the problems of business logistics extend to include all aspects of order processing, supply scheduling, inventory management, warehouse operation, and transportation.
DCG Corplan objectively evaluates whether your company should own its logistics assests or manage those of an outside provider. Activity-based costing is applied which traces back overhead and direct costs to specific products, services, or customer accounts based upon how resources are actually used.
