Continuing from yesterday’s metrics let’s look at some more of them today which can turn our warehouse operations into state of the art thus giving desired deliverables for our businesses.
7. πͺπππ π·ππ π³πππ π°πππ πΊππππππ – The cost per line item shipped examines the microeconomics of logistics operation. This metric measures how much it costs to handle and ship one item out of the warehouse. Itβs a good bit of data to have on hand because shipping one item means people, computer systems and how your warehouse moves products. Any increases in metric need a closer look so you can keep costs and prices down.
8. π»πππ ππ πΉππππππππ πππ π·πππ π³πππππππ – How long do you need to intake inventory? This metric measures the speed and efficiency with which your staff unloads something and gets product to its place in the warehouse. This ties into your truck time in the dock and days on hand.
9. π«πππ ππ π―πππ – Days on hand is part of inventory turnover because it measures how much your storage costs build up over time. When products sit there for several days, it costs you money.
10. π·ππππππ πΆππ ππ π΄πππππππππ – Perfect order management indicates which links in the chain are broken, whether itβs procurement, production, transportation, labor or any stage of the warehouse process.
11. ππππ πΉπππ – The fill rate shows what percentage of orders you fill on the first shipment. This metric combines customer satisfaction and transportation efficiency.
12. πΊπππππ πͺππππ πͺππππ π»πππ – This metric measures what would possibly happen if you had no inventory on hand whatsoever. Then you determine how long it takes you to fill an order. When this time is shorter, you have better supply chain management.
13. πͺπππππππ πΆππ ππ πͺππππ π»πππ – Your customer order cycle time examines how quickly a customer gets an order. The faster, the better, in this instance. If this changes, figure it out quickly.
14. π«πππππ ππππππππ – Demand forecast is hard to predict, but analytics software helps. When you have accurate demand forecasts, you prevent bumps in the road with regards to pricing, capacity and whether to expand your operations.
15. πͺπππππππ πͺπππ ππ π°ππππππππ – In the big picture, your entire warehouse makes money based on this KPI. The carrying cost of inventory measures how much it costs to store inventory over a period of time. This factors in energy costs, labor, down time, shipping, freight and insurance.
