Fit for future: A benchmark based master plan for reducing the logistics costs of P&G Pet Care: non-confidential

P&G Pet Care EMEA is operating in a highly competitive environment. Sales have stagnated over the past two years. @@@. Objective of the internship was to define a plan for how the logistics costs of Pet Care can be reduced in three years. In order to generate input for this master plan we performed two benchmark studies. In an internal benchmark we compared the logistics costs of Pet Care with those of other business units and we investigated best practices for reducing those logistics costs of finished products. In an external benchmark we investigated what competition is doing in order to minimize logistics costs.
