Supply Chain Costs

In my article on costs, I provided the following figure.


In essence it says the same as Jimmy Anklesaria does in his book 'Supply Chain Cost Management' (see figure below).

One difference is the composition of the costs categories:

Anklesaria (2008) uses Acquisition price, Conversion, GSA and Profit, while I use: COGS (consisting of direct material, direct labour and manufacturing overhead), GSA and Profit.

Despite this difference in composition/layout, the essence of the figure remains the same.
