Input (Resources)	Activities	Indicator	Definition
Labour	Receiving^a	Receiving productivity	Number of vehicles unloaded per labour hour
	Putaway^a	Putaway productivity	Putaway per man hour
	Picking^b	Picking productivity	Total number of products picked per labour hour in picking activity
	Value-added services^b	Manpower productivity	The ratio of the total number of items managed to the amount of item-handling working hours
	Shipping^b	Shipping productivity	Total number of products shipped per labour hour
Equipment	Receiving^a	Receiving productivity	Number of vehicles unloaded per equipment
	Putaway^a	Putaway productivity	Putaway per equipment
	Picking^b	Picking productivity	Total number of products picked per equipment in picking activity
	Shipping^b	Shipping productivity	Total number of products shipped per equipment
Space	Layout	Building utilization	The ratio of the number of the square foot used per total square feet capacity of the building
		Storage space utilization	The rate of space occupied by the storage as ϰγ ϰ = amount of capacity used by items (pallets, cartons, tons, square feet) γ = total amount of available capacity (racking, square feet)
		Staging area utilization^a,b	The ratio of items per square feet over the amount of time
	Storage	Turnover	The ratio between the number of outgoing items and average items in stock
	Storage	Throughput	Items per hour leaving the warehouse
	Loading	Transport utilization^b	The ratio between weight/volume loaded over the total amount of weight/volume of container capacity
Information system	Communication	Warehouse management system	Optimization of the warehouse as a whole Measurement of the assigned task per hour
