(1) Effective methods are used to schedule and control individual shipments of fuel.

(2) Transportation means available to insure the necessary service levels of reliability.

(3) Responsibility for negotiation of transportation costs is placed upon the appropriate persons who actively participate in the fuel procurement policies.

(4) Sufficient lead times are planned to permit delivery of fuels on a timely basis.

(5) Transportation costs are held to a minimum, considering reliability and quality of service.
