Module 3 – SLP
Benchmarking Logistics Performance
Each SLP assignment consists of two activities. See SLP 1 for a complete description of each.
Activity 1 (Assessment Phase)
Refer to the organization you nominated in SLP 1. Describe and assess how benchmarking is used to evaluate logistics performance in the organization.
Activity 2 (Improvement Phase)
Explore how the organization could improve logistics operations by better use of benchmarking and performance metrics.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Display an understanding of how benchmarking is used to assess logistics performance in the reference organization, to include its implementation, and the use of qualitative and quantitative measures. Provide a critical analysis of whether the reference organization could improve its logistics operations through more effective use of benchmarking.
