| Objectives | The objectives of the research are to: (i) compare the relative perfomances of companies in the food distribution industry using exisiting KPI's (ii) collect the data necessary to calculate these indicators with a degree of statistical robustness, and (iv) provide the industry with information about its performance that it can use to use to improve the efficiency of its logistics. This data should: (a) inform policy makers as to the effectiveness of the logistics system in this mark et sector, (b) allow inter-company comparison using data collected by common methods, and (c) enable contributors to quantify the impact of any interim operational changes made on their relative rankings. | |
| Abstract | Since 1998 the EEBPP has been working on developing and establishing KPIs of vehicle utilisation in individual distribution sectors. A previous study 'Benchmarking Vehicle Utilisation and Energy Consumption, Measurement of Key Performance Indicators' has been published as an Energy Consumption Guide (No. 76). The current project is designed to follow up this previous work, using the KPIs proposed in the above report to compare the performances of several food distribution operations. | |
