WH KPI Poll

[Loggie]

Reckon this topic needs a Poll!

So what do you think is the most important Warehouse KPI. We'll make this one multiple choice, becuase I reckon if we alow only one, we'll all pick the same. So just pick the THREE you think most important.

As it is multiple choice, the % figures will add up to more than 100 ok :-))

First one looks easy to pick :-)

Picking accuracy MUST be the second, without that service goes through the floor!

Will be interesting to see if anyone actually picks anything other than cost per case throughput as one of them! ie number of votes for that one should be equal to votes cast and therefore also be 100%.

Only needs one KPI I reckon.........cost per case!

[Alan]

No brainer.......cost per case.

[Mitsu]

Seem to be some clear leaders appearing!

What if you only had 1? Would have to be cost per case, right?

I agreee, I think a cost per unit of some type (case, Pallet etc) would have to be the number 1.

I think it really depends whether you're operating the warehouse or contracting to a 3PL as a customer.

If I were a warehouse manager I'd be more concerned about Units/Cases picked per labour hour because it directly affects the cost per unit I could charge customers. For example, if your warehouse people use single-order picking rather than batch- or wave-picking when processing the orders, they could spend too much time walking through the aisles.

If you were a customer, you'd looking at a good unit cost per ea, case, or pallet.
