Measuring the performance of a postal operator extends beyond the traditional metrics used by private companies such as return on equity for instance. Postal service is a public endeavor, and its performance must be measured in light of universal service obligations, and limits to missions and risks that constrain its strategy and operation. In addition to that, posts are networks, and the management of networks is inherently complex. In this webinar, we will talk about what makes the postal service challenging to manage and measure, including public service and network issues.

  7. 7. Traditional Measures of Customer Performance Traditional measures of performance Product or product line IRR/ROI, ROIC Revenue goals, Market share, Market position “profitable-product death spiral.” - profitability by product = index of benefit to both the company and the customer. Consequences Product overlaps/competition within product line Product line thinning DHL: Portfolio of time-definite products simplified and strengthened 7
  8. 8. Product Portfolio Approach Doing products right, and doing the right products Portfolio approach Consumers desire assortments of products rather than individual items Identify products that optimize the entire portfolio. Incorporate attributes specifically identified as attractive by consumers What is the right portfolio of products for postal operators? How do we know we are doing the right products? 8
  9. 9. Customer Performance and Product Mix Concept of Customer lifetime value (CLV) Customer equity (CE) = discounted value of future sales for all customers “Selling more products to the same customers.” Performance Strategy Create close connections or emotional ties with the consumer. Positioning In Relation to the Competitor Measuring: “Knowing your customer” Customer value and satisfaction Customer loyalty and retention Customer equity, turnover, margins, profit, etc. 9

  15. 15. Measuring performance – an integral process to managing operations 15 Manage Operations Plan operations Execute operations Measure operational performance Adapt operations
  16. 16. Operational performance is measured across four performance indicators 16 Operational Performance Indicators 1. Service 2. Costs 3. Efficiency 4. Profitability Plan operations Execute operations Measure operational performance Adapt operations
  17. 17. The performance indicators are reflected at various levels of a (networked) enterprise 17 Costs Service Efficiency Profitability
  18. 18. Specific effects of network layer on performance indicators 18 R E P S M Network Layer Elements Primary Performance Indicator Influenced Real Estate Plants, Facilities Costs Service Equipment, Fleet Sorting & material handling systems, trucks, planes Costs Service People, Skills Clerks, drivers, planners, managers. Costs Efficiency Profitability Service Sort Plans & Schedules Sort & operating plans, transportation & other schedules. Efficiency Profitability Measurement Mgt & Planning Evaluation, planning & forecasting. Efficiency Profitability
  19. 19. Measures of service performance Adapt network infrastructure to match volume levels Measures: % on time Network capacity utilization Work in process and staged inventories Reduce time in transit Measures: Speed of lanes – ground and air Eliminate manual processing Measures: Machinability factor Address readability/interpretation % damage shipments Eliminate wrong addressing Measures % undeliverable as addressed (UAA) 19 R E P S M E
  20. 20. Measures of cost performance Integrate networks (e.g., express and deferred, or air and ground) Measures: Duplication of services between networks Value of network assets (e.g., vs. revenues) Transportation costs and fuel consumption Reduce labor costs Measures Fixed to variable labor Workload planning and scheduling Reduce equipment/fleet operating costs: Measures Fuel efficiency of fleet Mean time between maintenance Mean time to repair Reduce handlings Measures Total pieces handled (vs. first handling pieces) 20 R E S M PE S E
  21. 21. Measures of efficiency Adapt the networks to meet traffic flows and levels Measure: Asset utilization Distributed capacity Work in process and staged inventories Increase sorting efficiency through technology Measure: Machine throughput / machine jams Read rates Mis-sorts (e.g., out-of-sequenced DPS mail) Machinability/rework Improve delivery efficiency Measure: Density of delivery In-office vs. street time Continuous improvement / six-sigma Measure: Process deviations/ Trending 21 MS E S P M
  22. 22. Measures of profitability Improve revenue per piece - Shift product mix Measures: Ratio of high yield products (heavier weight segments) Ratio of letters to parcels Improve revenue per piece - Shift customer mix Measures: Ratio of business to residential deliveries Improve revenue per piece – Defer delivery Measures: Shift from air to ground; use multimodal Promote low-cost non-urgent deliveries to increase density Measures: Consolidated shipments and asset utilization Urban vs. rural deliveries 22 M E M R E M

  24. 24. Leverage the potential of your network Intelligent network configuration and management for optimum performance Connectivity Measures: o Multiple paths between nodes o Alternate processing nodes Capacity Measures: o Network-wide capacity vs. node-level capacity Adaptability Measures o Adaptive sort and distribution Resiliency Measures o Contingency plans 24
  25. 25. Managing information to monitor and improve performance 25 Static Operating Environment Dynamic Operating Environment • Managing according to historic demand averages • Spikes in demand met with additional infrastructure • Fixed operating schedule • Resource commitment is pre-planned and pre-allocated • Plans based on mid to long-terms projections • Managing deviations from the norms • Spikes in demand are anticipated and are “business as usual” • Variable operating schedule • Resource commitment is dynamically allocated • Near real time visibility, and rapid planning capability Low HighHigh Performance Business Infrastructure-Based More (Under-utilized) Resources More Stability Information-Based Fewer (Better utilized) Resources More Frequent Planning Leveraging your enterprise’s information to monitor and improve operational performance (service, efficiency, profitability, costs)
