LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION / ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECT
Matching fleet investment to a new delivery contract
A fictional logistics operator is planning a new contract that requires additional vehicles, drivers and operating support.
THE DECISION
Start with what
needs to be understood.
Compare fleet purchase and leasing under the same contract ramp, payment terms and utilization assumptions.
START WITH THE DRIVERS
Connected assumptions. A clear view of your business.
THE PROPOSED APPROACH
Connect the drivers
to the decision.
This example describes how the scope could be shaped for the fictional brief.
Capacity & activity
Connect vehicles, routes, trips, loads or warehouse space to the activity you can deliver. Separate contract and spot work when their economics differ.
Operating costs
Model drivers, fuel, maintenance, insurance, premises and subcontracting around fleet and service activity. Reflect empty miles or unused capacity where relevant.
Fleet, contracts & cash
Connect new assets, leases and contract starts to hiring and working capital. Test payment delays and the cash needed before new work reaches scale.
THE DELIVERABLES
A connected set
of business materials.
The growth plan would connect the contract opportunity to the capacity and working capital required to serve it.
- An operating and cash flow model covering activity, pricing, fleet costs, investment and financing.
- A business plan explaining the service, target contracts, delivery network, assets and operating organization.
WHAT WOULD INFORM THE WORK
- Fleet or facility capacity
- Routes, loads, throughput and utilization
- Contract rates and payment terms
- Fuel, labor and maintenance costs
- Asset purchases, leases and expansion timing
