Your company wants to go with another disposal vendor.  While reading the terms and conditions, you see that they will be charging mileage for pick-ups. 

Your company wants to move the maintenance center or consolidate.  You notice that the evaluation does not consider the extra travel time and costs to reach those centers. 

It is time to look at our evaluation criteria and make sure that we consider the energy costs, especially mileage.  Where we might have been able to ignore it in the past, the rising cost of fuel is impacting our suppliers and outsourcers.  You can be sure that they will want your company to share the burden.
