3 THE PROCESS BEGINS WITH BENCHMARKING Order Fill Rates Order Cycle Times Lines and Orders/Hour Errors Inventory Accuracy Damage Cost/Order Cost as % of Sales Days on Hand

10 KEEPING METRICS IN PERSPECTIVE Logistics measures must be in harmony with a company's overall business strategy. If Amazon.com drove its logistics activities with measures focused solely on reducing delivery costs, it would cripple its ability to serve customers. (Smart managers) are fusing logistics plan(s) with their business strategies, ensuring that what is measured in the field is valued at the top of the organization. Keeping Score: Measuring the Business Value of Logistics in the Supply Chain, CLM, 1999

11 THE GEORGIA TECH CHALLENGE Is it possible to assess the system performance of a warehouse, and compare system performance across warehouses, or across time periods?

12 WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE SINGLE FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY METRICS? Ranking Rating

13 What we need is a handicapping system for warehouse performance

14 DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Resources Total Staffing Equipment Replacement Cost Warehouse area Activities Services Lines Shipped Storage Function Accumulation ONE PERFORMANCE INDEX

15 PRODUCTION FUNCTION THEORY For One Input, One Output Production/Output Resource/Input

16 SYSTEM EFFICIENCY CONCEPT Production/Output O A B System efficiency of warehouse B is the ratio OA OB Resource/Input

17 DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS DEA is a mathematical technique that does this same kind of analysis, but with multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

33 MIXED Input Efficiency Compared Within (65/65) 20 Frequency

34 MIXED PICKING MIXED PICKING Lines/Labor Hour (Mixed) More More Ave = 10.6 SD = Frequency

35 RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Bigger is not always better, at least with regard to equipment and labor. There is, however, some evidence that more warehouse space leads to better system efficiency.

36 RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Labor hours was not found to be a significant factor, by itself, in predicting system efficiency. However, the interaction of labor with investment was found to be significant in the sense that labor hours mitigates the effect of investment (in other words, though high investment warehouses tended to be less efficient than low investment warehouses, the differences becomes less prominent the higher the labor hours).

37 RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The interaction of investment and space was found to be significant. This means that high investment warehouses are even less efficient if they are also large.

38 RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS No matter how we segment the data, a very large proportion of warehouses are operating at or below 50% system efficiency. While this may reflect industry or business differences, it still represents a very significant opportunity for improvement.

39 RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The opportunity for improvement seems largest for the segment of warehouses doing predominantly full case picking. In that segment, a smaller proportion of the warehouses are "efficient' than in any other segment, and a larger proportion are operating below 50% efficiency.
