This Warehouse KPIs Training Module is a ready-to-teach PowerPoint training on the key performance indicators every warehouse, logistics and inventory team works with. Each KPI is explained on its own slide with a short definition, the formula, a worked example and a second example from a different industry (automotive, food, fashion, pharmacy, engineering, hospital, e-commerce and more).
The module is designed for trainers, logistics and operations managers, and HR and learning teams who onboard or upskill warehouse and logistics office staff. It works as a stand-alone session of half a day to a full day, or as part of a longer program.
Use it as a warehouse KPI PowerPoint presentation for training sessions, as a reference deck of warehouse metrics and inventory KPI formulas, or together with the included warehouse KPI Excel calculator and inventory KPI cheat sheet.
