The 3 most importat KPI's for Warehousing
As you well know, running a warehousing business is labour intensive. Regardless of if you’ve already automated your warehouse or not, essential to your performance is your staff. You’ve probably got three KPI’s very close to heart:
- Cost per parcel
- Cost composition
- Overall cost
We at Marketpeople totally get that. After all, we’ve been in logistics for a very long time (central warehousing, e-commerce, and transportation). And, we know, with the high staff turnover almost all warehouses suffer from, keeping those three prevailing KPI’s in check is a challenge. The training costs alone are enough to make any warehouse suffer.
In-house recruitment
Yeah, we know. Recruitment, right? Not sexy at all. Or should it be? Well, we know your HR team is ever so strapped for time. Is it another sit-down with the Union maybe? Or is it something else the head office wants this time? Anyhow, they have not got the time or tools to make it right, are we on to something? Honestly?
Let’s look to your floor supervisors; have they got their hands full with scheduling, productivity coaching, quality coaching, fending off sick leave, just being there for the staff? Yep, thought so…
Well, at least your marketing department is working day and night to provide you with the very best candidates right? Or are they maybe more focused on getting the business more customers… Or is it the new logo launching next year?
