Fulfillment numbers—also known as Pickup Proficiency or Distribution Effectiveness—are a measure of how efficiently goods from a manufacturing facility are transported to the customer. It is determined by analyzing warehouse costs, production times, and transportation distances between pick-up points and delivery locations. The higher the fulfillment number, the better the performance of the supply chain—which in turn results in greater customer satisfaction and improved business results. By monitoring this metric, companies are able to maximize efficiency in their supply chain operations, resulting in cost savings across the board.
