logistics cost factors are cost factors associated with logistics ( concerned with acquisition, storage and transportation ofresources) based on the kind of business or kind of products or services a company is into. From the above we see that logistics cost factors vary as the companies are into different products or services and industries and therefore face different logistics costs associated with their production and or delivery. Every company aims to achieve logistics efficiency through minimizing costs associated with their logistics costs factors example Hyundai with transportation logistics cost factors would aim to reduce it's logistics cost factors and maximise profits by its locating it's manufacturing plant close to where it imports parts for it's vehicle manufacturing so as to reduce cost of transporting vehicle parts to manufacturing plant
