Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Inventory department are a vital means of ensuring materials department efficiencies and organizational success. If the organization has no stock to sell or raw materials with which to manufacture products, the organization will cease to exist. Thus, it is critical to measure key performance areas like inventory control and management, inbound logistics, and quality control.
Real-time tracking plays a vital role in managing these three areas. They can be broken down further into orders received metrics, and orders dispatched, order time cycle, component tracking, quality of raw materials acquired, and an acceptance rate of goods.
