Saving time does not automatically save money, proper balance needs to be applied.

My Suggestion in this regard is saving both Time and Money . Because Time is Money. Adding to this we shoul proactively plan and escalate the same to our customers and service providers(3PL /Shippers) to avoid last minute hassles.

It's depend on case ,the nature of shopment and customers type. But as a best logostic manager every time I try to save both togather. Save time with money saving .Because if I prioritize to save time it will automaticaly save cost .

There are2 cases

1- Logistics Manger working in a non-logistics company uses3rd party logistics companies.

in this case the concentration will be on cost and time both.

 

2-Logistics Manager working in a logistics services company.

in this case it will be taken as case to case and the target is the satisfaction of the customers.

i prioritize on case to case basis, depending on the nature of shipment and it's expectency level. But usually I save charges.
