Warning: found out a regular shipment delay costs way more than the freight itself
Was going through last quarter's numbers with our ops lead in Dayton and she pointed out that our 4 day average delay on inbound parts was costing us about $2,100 per shipment in rush fees and idle crew time, not the $300 freight bill I'd been watching. I had been looking at the wrong line the whole time. What are you all using to catch the hidden cost of a late order before it hits the books?
