Consumer Packaged Goods Industry Logistics Costs

Similar to the related category of food and beverage (see below), very few consumer packaged goods companies were able to reduce logistics costs in 2005 regardless of which metric was their primary driver. None of respondents (15 across all primary measures) was able to reduce absolute costs or cost per weight/unit, and only 1 out of 9 which measured primarily by percent of sales was able to reduce costs.
