Office Max – Cost Avoidance for Fuel Surcharges & Green Purchasing Initiatives
This past year University suppliers have been hit hard by the rising cost of fuel. To offset the price increases of gasoline and diesel fuel, many suppliers are charging a “fuel surcharge” for delivered orders. OfficeMax has held contract pricing, but is now faced with assessing approximately $150,000 in annual surcharges ($3.50 per package under $50). OfficeMax does not want to add fuel surcharges. Instead, OfficeMax asked the University for assistance in finding an alternative solution.
A delivery study was conducted. It was determined that if OfficeMax were allowed to move to a four day a week delivery cycle, it would generate enough cost savings to eliminate the need for the $150,000 fuel charge. In addition, eliminating one day a week of office supply deliveries saves 2,327 gallons of diesel fuel and prevents 26 tons of CO2 truck emissions from being released into our environment.
The study identified that eliminating Wednesday deliveries would have the lowest impact on the campus service. The only change from the current service would be that orders placed on Tuesday would be delivered on Thursday. Departments can continue to place orders on Tuesday and Wednesday. Both days would be delivered on Thursday. All other ordering and delivery schedules remain the same. The decision has been made that beginning June 3, 2008, OfficeMax orders placed on Tuesdays will be delivered on Thursdays.
For more information on this initiative go to OfficeMax Deliveries.

Over the next six months, Strategic Lab Suppliers are communicating to their customers that April 30, 2008 is the last day faculty and staff should order online from their corporate websites. The messages direct faculty and staff to place online orders through M-marketsite beginning May 1, 2008. The Strategic Lab Suppliers that are participating in this initiative are Continental Lab, Cryogenic Gases, DOT Scientific, EMD Biosciences, Fisher Scientific, Invitrogen, ISC Biosciences, Perkin Elmer, Roche, Sigma, and VWR.
