We conclude our ongoing series in talking about effective KPI management by giving you a real live Logistics KPIs management case study from Whirlpool's engagement with a logistics service level provider. We started the series first by " 9 Key Topics to Understand to Frame A Shipper’s Mind for Effective KPI Management with a 3PL."
In order to achieve this, demand planning, inventory planning, supply planning via procurement and/or production planning, along with fulfilment/allocation and even transportation planning need to be integrated. DC procurement is also automated by aggregating the needs of the MFCs.
This involves a lot of long-haul transportation.” The data from Infor Nexus also helps the transportation teams do better carrier sourcing. Over the years the visibility has expanded to include all modes of transportation from their factories to the DCs and finally out to their customers.
The reason why they can do this is that customized products are sold directly to customers so they have the higher profit margin to compensate the higher transportation cost. Managing transportation at this scale is the absolute challenge. In order to compensate a long waiting time, Adidas uses air freight or courier service.
The components of the perfect order KPI are as follows: On-time delivery: A calculation of the percentage of sales orders that arrive on time. In full delivery: This KPI tracks the percentage of sales orders that are delivered completely, meaning that the customer receives the correct items, in the right quantities.
While internet-based transport exchanges offer potential, their effectiveness is still debated due to uncertainties in carrier and shipper participation. Postponement: Strategies like Just-in-Time and postponement can reduce inventory and transportation costs. Their strategic decisions now influence overall business performance.
Reverse Logistics Strategy 3: Make it Profitable It makes sense to run reverse logistics as a profit centre with corresponding KPI and metrics. Network analysis will be crucial for finding the best configuration of return centres, given factors like retail locations and transport facilities with backhaul possibilities.
But store, shelf-level out-of-stocks (OOS), the most critical KPI in this supply chain, barely changed. The model understands store and retail DC reordering policies, as well as CPG manufacturing and delivery lead times. These collaborative forecast initiatives had positive impacts on inventories and service levels.
They handle activities like warehousing, distribution, and transportation for other businesses. DC Distribution Centre – A warehouse facility that stores and distributes products to retailers, wholesalers, or directly to consumers. In supply chain, KPIs might include on-time delivery rates, inventory turnover, or order accuracy.
Accessibility: The ability of a freight carrier to provide transportation between the named points of origin and destination. ADR: A governing standard for transportation of dangerous/hazardous materials by road. Air Cargo: Freight that is transported by an aircraft. Flammable solids Class 4.2: Oxidizing substances Class 5.2:
Driving higher KPI performance and goals. A survey conducted for Zebra’s Warehouse Vision Report found that 59% of IT and operations personnel in manufacturing, retail, transportation and wholesale market segments planned to expand process automation between 2017 and 2022. High warehouse turnover. Meeting new growth targets.

Customers are allocated to the most logical warehouse / DC to minimise delivery costs, taking into account #1 above. 6 – KPIs – Getting it Right. The DC Manager will want to see picks per direct labour hour. It’s a question of matching the right level of KPIs, to the management level in the organisation.
Transport and travel within your warehouses adds no value and although eliminating it all is simply not possible, it can be minimised with careful planning and optimisation of the warehouse layout. Warehouse Management Even if you have a well laid-out warehouse, DC optimisation doesn’t stop there. Don’t fall into that trap.
Whether your company is a big or small player in terms of shipping volumes, and regardless of your chosen transportation modes (road, rail, ocean, air), the health of your bottom line depends in no small part on the competitiveness of your ocean freight prices. There’s no dark art to freight benchmarking.
Transport and travel within your warehouses adds no value and although eliminating it all is simply not possible, it can be minimised with careful planning and optimisation of the warehouse layout. Even if you have a well laid-out warehouse, DC optimisation doesn’t stop there. Road Transport/Distribution.
Over a relatively short period, a transport or fleet manager’s ability to support an efficient distribution network through route and delivery optimisation has shifted from almost nil to almost limitless. KPI dashboards and reporting: This is linked to tip #3 above. Let’s take a brief look at some of them.
This is a simple key performance indicator (KPI), another name for metrics, to track. This KPI should be as high as possible, reflecting accurate inventory available for customers from suppliers. When considering the timeliness of a shipment in this KPI , you can derive an order completion metric. Inventory Accuracy.

The US thus spent about $131 billion more in parcel shipping than it did in rail transport last year - a bit more than a delta of $127.4 of total transport costs and 38.5% of total transport costs and 8.9% of transportation spend – down from 6.1% With overall transport costs rising 8.7% Gilmore Says.
