A logistics department manager oversees transportation and warehousing operations for a regional distribution center. The manager can select carriers within an approved network, adjust delivery schedules, and modify warehouse layouts, but cannot influence fuel costs or carrier rate structures. During the evaluation period, fuel price increases led to a 15% surcharge from all approved carriers. The manager responded by consolidating shipments more effectively and renegotiating delivery schedules with customers, reducing total transportation costs despite the surcharges. However, the consolidation required additional warehouse labor for repackaging, and some customers complained about modified delivery windows. The net result was a 3% decrease in total logistics costs but lower customer satisfaction scores. Which statement BEST captures the controllability implications for performance evaluation?
