In the compilation of the key figures presented here, consideration was mainly given to local key figures on the operative level. The focus is on internal logistics. Or, more precisely: on the storage and distribution centres between the incoming goods and outgoing goods ramps. The approx. 350 key figures were defined and derived on the basis of practical warehouse logistics conditions. This gives the potential user of the guideline a range of key figures to choose from depending on the situation and requirements. Modern communications technologies, such as the intranet, allow the development of indicator systems within an economically feasible framework for practically every size of company. This guideline can serve as a valuable aid in this.
