Notes:
·
It is clear that the satisfaction thermometer for the customer is the total logistic chain
The competitive rate is measured as the total cost from the mines to the final destination of the copper
Thus the rail rate itself just forms a part of the total chain and price
For example the cost of logistics the customer is interested in is the total cost of copper from the plant in
Zambia to China inclusive of the following:
a.
Documentation cost;
b. Handling cost;
C.
Inland transport cost;
d. Clearing cost; and
e. Shipping cost.View entire presentation
