Common



Service to all shippers



Standard, published Rates



Examples are UPS and FedEx



Most large organizations negotiate discounted

limited
number of shippers



Usually lower rates because of more predictable
schedules
and routes

Private

The FOB decision addresses several issues
involving the COST and RESPONSIBILITIES of
delivering goods between seller and buyer

• Who pays the freight costs?
• When does title pass?
• Who makes the claims when something goes wrong?
• Who routes the freight?

There are several options between seller and
buyer when choosing shipping terms. There is no
one size fits all that fits every company or
every transaction

Dont pay for more than you need. Use overnight
services for urgent needs ONLY dont get on the
habit of automatically overnighting
If you spent the premiums for expedited shipping,
dont let the items SIT in receiving, or
somewhere else, inside your business
For lowest cost, make every reasonable effort for
full containers Full pallet loads, Full trucks,
Full Ocean Containers, Full Planes, etc..

Materials Salvage and Disposal
20
Definitions
Salvage
The Recovery of some amount of the
original investment after materials have been
determined to be no longer usable in their
current form
Disposal
The Removal of some amount of the
original investment after materials have been
determined to be no longer usable in their
current form
The goal is to AVOID THE NEED to manage salvage
and disposal. Any chronic pattern of waste must
be identified, root causes understood, and
corrective action taken. However, some amount of
disposal and salvage are inevitable and should be
managed in a way that brings the least cost and
most revenue, while being environmentally
responsible

implement smaller environmental benefits

Ways to Salvage material and help the environment

• Reduce Scrap and waste
• Convert waste to byproducts that can be sold
• Carefully manage the storage and use of Hazardous
  Materials
• Recover precious metals

Most well-run global organizations follow the
strict United States environmental standards
throughout the world
24
Six categories of Material for Disposal
Excess - Surplus Obsolete - No longer
required Rejected End Items Poor conformance
to specifications Scrap - Residual from a
production process rejected components. May be
converted to another use Waste Similar to
scrap, but unusable Hazardous (HazMat) Toxic,
flammable, corrosive
25
Actions to take before disposal

• Carry excess materials for a reasonable time
  (Forecasts change frequently what appeared to
  have no demand may soon be required)
• Find a substitute use for the item
• Find another division or Business Unit (for large
  organizations) that may need the material
• Disassemble and sell the spare parts
• Have a fire sale and sell for less than
  standard price (similar to a garage sale for a
  business)
• Repair damaged goods and sell as refurbished

26
Business Reasons for carefully Managing Disposal

• Receive some amount revenue (even if deeply
  discounted from original cost)
• Avoid the risk of poor quality products delivered
  to customers
• Ensure that no issues emerge that could impact
  image and liability
• Protect Intellectual Property
• Many items have been taken from landfills and
  been reverse-engineered. Any item that might
  represent a competitive advantage must be removed
  or destroyed before disposal
• Comply with governmental regulations
• Reclaim some amount of the original material and
  protect the environment

27
Methods for Waste disposal

• Sell as-is to non-competing markets
• Public auctions
• Return excess to the original supplier (an
  acceptable instance for paying restocking
  charges)
• Consign to a broker
• Sell to a dealer
• Donate to charities and schools

The skills and contacts that exist in the
Purchasing organization are ideal for negotiating
disposal deals
