MPI Distribution & Logistics Study

The MPI Distribution and Logistics Study evaluates performance metrics and best practices within warehouses and distribution centers. This facility-specific study offers critical information to distribution, logistics, and supply-chain executives to keep their centers and companies competitive.

The study examines:

Operations: practices/programs in place (e.g., lean thinking); services performed for customers (e.g., kitting); expenses; and critical performance measures (perfect order fulfilment, lines picked per hour, warehouse capacity utilization, etc.).
Supply Chain and Logistics: number of suppliers and customers associated with typical facilities; percentages of imported supplier goods and products exported; and criteria used to evaluate suppliers.
Human Resources: number of employees; allocation of employees by role; use of temporary workers; deployment of human-resources (HR) programs; and key HR performance measures.
Assets and Technology: investments by facilities; types of information technology systems and applications in use; cloud computing usage; and adoption of Internet of Things technologies.
