In today's business world, effective logistics measures increasingly are separating the leaders from the laggards. Measurement has become critical to the success of many business operations. However, few business areas need to be measured more extensively, more frequently, and more effectively than logistics. High-performance logistics requires mastering the discipline of measurement. Research on the logistics measurement programs of more than 350 companies showed that few were measuring their performance where it really counted: with customers and suppliers. Research conducted for this book found a strong association between measurement and operational performance. While good logistics measures are now instrumental to business success, they are not easy to develop or implement. This book explains the lessons learned from the successful logistics measurement programs of companies such as Modus Media, 3M, Caliber Logistics, Graybar, Texas Instruments, Tyson Foods, International Paper, Motorola, Welch's, and H.E. Butt.

Now we know what the near future is: What is next?,
By Murat Yegengil (Virginia/USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keeping Score: Measuring the Business Value of Logistics in the Supply Chain (Hardcover)
The book can be read by any level of readers, may be considered a initiator for the junior logistics managers, while senior managers may use it to update their knowledge with the recent developments in logistics. The book gives good inside about establishing the logistics criteria (K.P.I.s) as well as being a good reference for researchers. It has sufficient amount of statistical data supporting the information provided and the results are integrated with the subjects neatly. I have enjoyed reading it, and found it quite useful for my research and company project.
