Tiivistelmä
The cost reduction in logistics has become challenging in the present business world. At the same time the topic has become mandatory in business as well. The aim of this thesis is to present and analyze all the relevant topics in logistics and transportation in relation to import and export business in terms of retail market in Ylivieska region.
I have completed this thesis work as a case study to Kärkkäinen a retail market located in Ylivieska, Finland. The purpose of the thesis is to provide some best possible ways to import goods from abroad to Finland at a competitive cost. During the time of thesis writing I came up with broad spectrum of different issues associated with logistics and transportation. In fact my thesis is mainly based on basic theories needed for overall management of logistic and its cost reduction so that a firm can achieve higher customer satisfaction by reducing its operation cost and increasing efficiencies. Ultimately, it will help a significant increase in profit.
I believe this thesis will help everyone to some extent, whoever wants to get basic (in-depth) knowledge of logistics. This thesis is mainly theoretical followed by in-depth case studies related to Kärkkäinen. Some parts of the thesis are classified as it is directly related to Kärkkäinen but the theoretical part will give brief idea to the reader about the overall concept.
I hope that my efforts will make some difference in the logistics/supply chain management of Kärkkäinen concerning the overall efficiency and cost reduction in logistical activities.
