KPIs & Metrics to Measure and Manage Distribution Performance

What are Distribution KPIs?

Distribution Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics focus on measuring the efficiency and performance of the flow of products from a distribution center or warehouse to the customer. Distributor metrics can be layered on top of processes such as channel design management, third party logistics, fleet management, logistics health & safety, and order picking and shipment.

Using KPIs to Measure and Manage the Performance of the Distribution Group

Distribution operations are responsible for managing the timely movement of finished products to purchasers. But how do you monitor the performance of the Distribution group itself? KPI measurement of poor inbound data quality related to order destinations, error-prone inventory requests, and low value picking and packaging that result in returns, all consume staff capacity. In turn, these negatively impact KPIs that measure cost, work quality, service levels, and customer experience. With the right distribution KPIs in place though, you can effectively manage and improve the performance of any Distribution function.

  2. 2.Cases Picked per Employee
