Primary distribution sector survey

Following on from the success of previous sector specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) benchmarking reports, the Freight Best Practice Programme has  published a new free benchmarking survey for the Primary Distribution Sector.

The survey found that on average:

* Empty running stands at just 13% (compared to a commonly

referred to industry average of 25%)

* MPG stands at 8.54

* Vehicle Fill stands at 82%

The survey does however break these figures down by GVW, route type, sub-sectors, region and route so operators can accurately compare their performance with that of the survey.

Operators in the primary distribution sector can use this benchmarking guide to identify real opportunities to maximise transport efficiency by reducing both their running costs and environmental impact.

KPIs provide a consistent basis for measuring transport efficiency across different fleets, comparing like with like.

The full list of KPIs that were measured are:

* MPG

* Number of Incidents

* Empty Distance Run

* Vehicle Time Utilisation

* Vehicle Fill

* Deliveries On Time In Full (OTIF)

* Delivery Damage

* Delivery Complaints

This KPI survey along with all Freight Best Practice publications is completely free of charge, and can be obtained by calling the Freight

Best Practice Hotline on 0845 877 0 877. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from the website www.freightbestpractice.org.uk
