CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—January 12, 2012 (James Street Media Services)—Kenco, a leading provider of value-added distribution, public warehousing, transportation services and intelligent information technology, has partnered with The Aberdeen Group to publish a report focusing on operational excellence in the distribution sector. The report entitled “Fulfillment Excellence and Dynamic Event Warehousing Come of Age,” benchmarks the best-in-class companies, as well as requirements for success.
The research uses three key performance criteria to distinguish best-in-class companies:
• 97.8 percent perfect order rate delivered to customers complete and/or on-time
• 3.7 percent decrease in warehouse labor costs per unit handled per year
• 2.6 percent decrease in actual warehouse operating costs versus budget YTD
Top pressures in warehousing and fulfillment services identified by survey respondents include customer demands for value-added services; the need to manage multiple sales/logistics channels; the need for better utilization of resources; and the proliferation of SKUs, sizes and packaging.
“This report provides actionable insights into key processes; the technology that supports them; and improved ROI performance in the distribution center,” says Sean Coakley, senior vice president, Kenco.
