Logistics Management

There is some different between the transportation scorecards represented on this web-site.

• The Transportation Scorecard focuses specifically on transportation problems from the view point of transportation unit of the company or small transportation company. This scorecard provides more metrics to evaluate quality aspects of some specific transportation process. It is a low-level scorecard. Check the names of some metrics: “Frequency of damage”, “Dollar value per order”, “Orders picked per hour”.
• The Supply Chain Scorecard is a middle-level performance tool. It helps to evaluate the performance of transportation unit and how it is integrated in other business processes. As well as business processes of other companies. There are more general indicators, such as “Manufacturing Cycle Time”, “On time pickups”, “Material Value Add”.
• The Global Logistics Scorecard is a high-level performance evaluation tool. It helps to estimate logistics performance from the view point of CEO or manager of the large (meaning international) logistics unit. Indicators that are used for this scorecard are helpful for global view on performance problems - “Avg. vessel turnaround time”, “Inland freight cost”, “Damage or pilferage”.

So, the scorecards are related to each other as:

Global Logistics Scorecard (high level)
|
Supply Chain Scorecard (middle level)
|
Transportation Scorecard (low level scorecard)

Check scorecard details.
