Your warehouse generates plenty of data. But are you measuring what actually matters?
Cost per case is one of the most closely watched metrics in distribution, but it only tells part of the story. When costs rise, can you pinpoint why? Do you know where productivity is slipping, which processes are driving unnecessary expenses, or where improvements could deliver the greatest return?
In From Floor to Boardroom: The Warehouse KPIs That Matter, and How to Read Them, Made4net Experts and Keith Swiednicki International (KSi) reveal how to turn warehouse performance data into actionable insights that drive real business results.
This practical white paper connects three critical layers of warehouse performance:
- The Floor: Identify the operational metrics that matter most, from picking productivity and inventory accuracy to replenishment, order fulfillment, and storage utilization.
- The Dashboard: Understand how daily warehouse activities translate into financial performance, including labor costs, cost per case, and distribution expenses.
- The Boardroom: Discover which KPIs executives should prioritize and how to interpret them to make smarter operational and investment decisions.
Drawing on KSi's 40+ years of distribution benchmarking expertise, the guide provides real-world examples, practical measurement strategies, and a comprehensive KPI benchmark reference table comparing typical performance with top-performing operations.
The potential impact is significant. One example illustrates how a modest 10% productivity improvement could translate into approximately $286,000 in annual labor savings for an operation shipping 20 million cases.
Whether you're looking to reduce operating costs, improve productivity, evaluate automation investments, or build a stronger performance management strategy, this white paper provides the insights and benchmarks to help you get there.
