Supply chain costs often represent a considerable percentage of the sales price of a good or service. Cost savings flow directly to the bottom line. If net profit on sales is 5%, for example, a reduction in supply chain costs from 9% to 4% (or from 12% to 7%) will double net profits. This is the big attraction and importance of cost reduction in a supply chain: profits can be increased without having to increase sales.
