Data Needs Sku data Order data Warehouse location data
Sku data
May reside in different databases
locations, dimensions, packing, date introduced, Sku data maximum inventory level
Order Data
Order ID, Skus, customer, special handling,
date/time order picked up, quantity shipped Order data is financial information and usually accurate, but Not necessarily operations focused, e.g. date ordered, not date picked Validate with lines shipped each day Very large quantity of data
Data mining
Discrepancies in the data Validating
Interpreting patterns
Beware of small numbers Beware of sample biases

Benchmarking
What to measure?
performing.
Performance Measures

person hour) Response time (order-cycle time) Order accuracy (% of shipments with returns)
Advantages/disadvantages of these measures?
Benchmarking
Comparing warehouse with other warehouses
Internally or externally
Ratio-based benchmarking Aggregate benchmarking
