Logistics benchmarking – Learn from the best

Logistics benchmarking – learn from the best: A comparison that always pays off. Firstly, logistics benchmarking usually takes place between several companies or parts of a company, based on standard values and best practices. The comparison is made on the basis of typical, universally applicable logistics indicators. Company-specific characteristics of the comparison partners are also taken into account. Special attention is paid to the performance deviations of individual criteria. It is important to note that logistics benchmarking is an iterative process. One’s own performance profile can be improved using the benchmarking partner’s model. It is important not to focus on competition. Rather, there is an opportunity for all parties to adapt proven solutions and processes from others. As a logistics consultant, ORGAPLAN accompanies various benchmarking projects for logistics.

Industry-wide logistics benchmarking

ORGAPLAN Logistik GmbH has been supporting managed food retail companies in the field of industry-wide benchmarking for more than 10 years. A continuous improvement process takes place within the framework of regular workshops. In these workshops and benchmarking rounds, the participants’ industry-specific KPIs are analysed.

Internal logistics benchmarking

For many years ORGAPLAN Logistik GmbH has supported numerous companies in the area of internal logistics benchmarking. Here, for example, two or more sites of a group of companies are taken into account. Experience shows that internal benchmarking can also lead to improvements within the company. This is achieved by holding regular workshops. In these workshops, you analyse KPIs that are valid across sites. At the same time, site-specific characteristics must be included in the benchmark and taken into account in the evaluation.
