We love reading about distribution metrics because it gives us benchmarks from which to evaluate our own operations against the best in the business. DC Velocity magazine and WERC collaborated on a 2013 study aimed at determining what metrics were most important to distribution professionals and whether progress is being made to improve operations against them. The top three metrics for this year were on-time shipments, internal order cycle time and internal dock-to-stock cycle time. Not surprising, but on-time shipments has been ranked number one for three years in a row. The best news is that warehouse operations continue to show steady improvement year after year. Getting orders out the door quickly is a hallmark trait of excellent operations, and Materialogic performs day in and day out for its clients in this regard. If your distribution center is not continuing to improve you should give us a call.
