Key Performance Indicators for Non-Food Retail Distribution
Abstract:
Over the last few years, the Department for Transport, through the TransportEnergy Best Practice programme, has supported a series of benchmarking surveys that have developed a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in a variety of industry sectors.
This Benchmarking Guide aims to help operators identify real opportunities to maximise transport efficiency, reducing both running costs and environmental impact.
The aims of this pilot survey in the non-food retail distribution sector were:
The five KPIs measured during the study were:
- Vehicle fill - measured by degree of loading against actual capacity by weight, volume (cube) and unit loads carried
- Empty running - in absolute terms the relocation of empty vehicles, but including legs where returns and packaging were carried
- Time utilisation - measured by seven categories of use, including being loaded or running on the road
- Deviations from schedule - covering any delay deemed to be significant, with causes such as congestion en route or waiting at delivery point
- Fuel consumption - actual fuel used, correlated to factors such as loading and airflow management equipment
These KPIs were chosen because they fulfil a number of key requirements, namely:
A range of additional data was collected in order to correlate actual energy consumption with other factors, including use of delivery windows and use of airflow management equipment.
