Material costs reduced: Buying power + efficiency of material utilisation

Production costs: ie, more out of the production (increased yield : output from input) cheaper ways of production

Marketing based route: ie, brand power & distribution (internet for example)

Routes to competitive advantageResearch & development: Doing something that no body else

does or can offer at this moment in time

Location advantage: Only one of its kind in the area

Service: Demand a higher premium for a guaranteed level of service (DHL deliver to your door come hell or high water by the agreed time)
