Abstract: We present a comprehensive approach for an incentive system in logistics networks based on network-wide evaluation and reallocation of costs and benefits. We show that alternative allocations of resources based on sharing costs and benefits can give an incentive to the network-partners: Cost Benefit Sharing (CBS). It enables activity dependent reallocation of individual effects that reflect the costs and benefits of each party and systematically considers qualitative factors. A case study of a sourcing process concludes this paper.
