- Abstract
- the most obvious problem at Traction today is the in-between handling that demands much time and resources. The reason is that the packages are not designed with handling in mind.

The total cost ? that include the cost of packaging- and handling as well as the cost of transportation ? can be reduced by between one and two thirds for the five products that have got new packages. What is remarkable is that the cost of transport, not the cost of handling, generates the largest part of the profit. The cost of handling with the larger products is on the whole insignificant in comparison with the two other costs. (Less)
