Definition

Distribution service performance refers to “the overall fulfillment of customer expectations in logistics operations”.

Items

Please rate your logistics organization’s performance in comparison to competitors:

  • The ability to meet quoted or anticipated delivery dates and quantities on a consistent basis. (0.75)
  • The ability to respond to the needs and wants of key customers. (0.71)
  • The ability to accommodate delivery times for specific customers. (0.68)
  • The adherence to customer specifications. (0.72)
  • The global judgment regarding the extent to which logistics performance matches customer expectations. (0.84)

Items were measured on a scale from “1 = much worse” to “7 = much better than competitors”.
