Evaluation Procedure
|
The evaluation of distribution centers on the Top Level, Process Level and Task Level of the Distribution Center Reference Model is accomplished by both a comprehensive and specific analysis.
The comprehensive analysis compares the subject of analysis with all existing benchmarking partners. A ranking is given based on the performance measurement system and the Warehouse Excellence Index. The result of this analysis is a classification of the distribution center among all participants. In addition its performance gaps in comparison to the best participants are identified. |

|
| The specific analysis compares the subject of analysis with a selected benchmarking partner with similar structures. The choice of this benchmarking partner is based on performance and structural indicators and the Warehouse Excellence Index. This specific comparison with the selected partner identifies performance gaps. Furthermore, a comparison of performance indicators and the technical and organizational processes helps pinpointing approaches to close these gaps. | ||
