Inventory Management Metrics
The most important Inventory Management metrics and KPIs. Your essential toolkit for optimizing stock, cutting costs, and delivering a seamless customer experience.
Cash Conversion Cycle
The Cash Conversion Cycle, also knows as Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time, is the time between when a business pays its suppliers and when the business receives payment from its customers, usually expressed in days. Keeping active tabs on your Cash Conversion Cycle will aid you in monitoring your finances as cash flows in and out of your business.
Cost Of Goods Sold
The Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) is the measure of direct costs incurred by a company to manufacture or deliver their product or service. Costs typically include raw material and direct labour, but this varies from business to business, depending on the products or services that are being sold. COGS is the building block to understanding Gross Margin and Gross Margin Percent.
Customer Satisfaction
CSAT is a measure of the level of satisfaction that a customer has with a company’s products and/or services, most often provided by the customer as part of a survey. It is commonly used as an indicator of a customer’s loyalty to a company.
Inventory Quantity
Inventory Quantity is the currently available stock for each product variant a retail location or e-commerce store has available. Keeping track of inventory quantity is important to ensure that there are enough goods in stock to meet customer demand. Businesses should identify the optimal stock level for each product variant and adjust accordingly. If inventory levels are too low, customers may not be able to purchase a desired item or find an alternative solution elsewhere. On the other hand, if levels are too high, it can lead to an overstocking of products and wasted resources.
Inventory Turnover
Inventory Turnover measures how often, in a given time-period, your organization is able to sell its entire inventory. Inventory Turnover is an important efficiency metric and is helpful in analyzing pricing, product demand, and, of course, inventory purchase and costs. It is also a critical tool when selling perishable goods, where the potential for waste is high.
On-Time In-Full
On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery rate measures the percentage of orders delivered both on the promised date (or within the agreed time window) and complete with all requested items in the correct quantities. It combines punctuality and completeness into a single metric that reflects successful order fulfilment from the customer's perspective.
On-time Delivery
On-time delivery measures the percentage of orders delivered to customers on or before the promised delivery date. It helps evaluate the efficiency of the supply chain in meeting customer expectations. On-time delivery is crucial for maintaining high customer satisfaction levels. Timely delivery is often seen as a reflection of a company's reliability, and consistent punctuality can lead to increased customer trust and loyalty. Moreover, on-time delivery helps to avoid unnecessary costs related to late delivery compensation or loss of business, directly impacting the company's bottom line.
Perfect Order Rate
Perfect Order Rate measures the percentage of orders that are delivered without any errors, such as missing items, incorrect quantities, or damaged goods. It reflects the overall accuracy and quality of order fulfillment. The Perfect Order Rate (POR) is an essential supply chain metric that measures the effectiveness of an organization’s order fulfillment process. It is calculated by determining the percentage of orders that are executed flawlessly, without any errors or issues. Considered from a customer's perspective, a perfect order is one that arrives on time, contains the right items in the correct quantities, is delivered to the right place, and is accompanied by the correct invoicing.
