Georgia Tech Logistics Performance, Cost and Value Measures Course
Logistics is now looked upon as a key corporate leverage point for simultaneously increasing shareholder and customer value. Unfortunately, the formal links between logistics performance, cost, and value are not yet well defined. In "Logistics Performance, Cost, & Value Measures" we describe and demonstrate how improving logistics performance in customer service, fill rate, response time, inventory turns, receivables, transportation efficiencies, and warehousing productivity translate into operating and capital cost reductions and increased shareholder value. We define the link between logistics performance, cost, and shareholder value; define a full and complementary set of logistics performance benchmarks; and demonstrate how to use logistics performance gap analysis to justify new logistics initiatives.
