Logistics Benchmarking
Optimize your processes with logistics benchmarking: The key to success
Logistics benchmarking is a useful tool for companies that want to continuously improve their processes and see how expensive their logistics are in comparison. By systematically comparing your warehouse logistics with best practices in the industry, you can identify potential for optimization and increase efficiency.
The benchmarking method is used in many areas. In logistics, it has an important role to perform, regardless of whether you want to compare processes with best practice examples from your industry or just compare different locations with each other. By measuring the performance of your logistics processes and comparing them with leading companies, you gain valuable insights into trends and challenges. Together, we develop customized solutions for your company to sustainably master your logistical challenges and strengthen your competitiveness.
Our focus areas in logistics benchmarking
- MTM-based logistics check with the ebp tool “MTM-easy”
- Process evaluation based on MTM time studies in intralogistics & warehouse logistics
- Performing shadow calculations to evaluate logistics service providers
- Target cost calculation for warehouse handling and warehouse processes
- Process cost-based warehouse logistics benchmarking
- Evaluation of warehouse performance
- Inventory optimization and management in the warehouse
- Optimization of stocking concepts and inventory ranges
Use of MTM Analyses:
By applying the standardized and established MTM method, we create a robust and reliable basis for logistics benchmarking and many other analyses.
The advantages of logistics benchmarking
Logistics benchmarking offers several advantages because it allows companies to compare their own processes with the best practices of competitors and industry leaders. The most important advantages are:
- Application to many topics in intralogistics and warehouse logistics
- A neutral perspective in the evaluation of real logistics costs
- A holistic view of logistics
- Application of best practices based on MTM method standards to your own processes
- Cost transparency in logistics processes, thereby opening up opportunities for cost reduction
Logistics benchmarking ultimately reduces logistics costs, making a valuable contribution to increasing competitiveness.

Our approach to logistics benchmarking
We recreate the real logistics of companies in a data model (data twin), regardless of whether it involves warehouse logistics, production logistics, or intralogistics, for example in order picking or staging. This provides us with a well-founded insight into the quality and excellence of your logistics processes. We generally use our specially developed MTM model library, the ebp tool ‘MTM-easy’, which contains a large number of logistics modules and has been proven in numerous projects across various industries.
A systematic approach to logistics benchmarking is essential so that the results can be reused. Our approach varies depending on the topic, but basically always consists of the following steps:
- Premises: Define premises such as working hours, distribution times, etc.
- MTM modules: Store the desired MTM modules (MTM-1 / UAS / MTM logistics)
- Quantity structure: Integrate the quantity structure for later calculation of employee utilization
- Processes: Set up processes and process evaluation based on MTM modules refer to MTM modules to obtain time values
- Calculation: Link the premises, quantity structure, and processes to obtain the number of employees, including utilization.
A key added value of our tool-based ebp approach for companies is that we can quickly and cost-effectively make initial informed statements about the state of your logistics with very little effort and time.
Optimize your processes with logistics benchmarking for sustainable success
Optimizing your processes through logistics benchmarking enables you to achieve significant performance improvements. By comparing your processes with the best in the industry, you can identify inefficiencies and potential for improvement in your supply chain management. Regular benchmarking not only promotes the further development of your logistics, but also your company's ability to adapt to market changes. By continuously reviewing industry standards, you lay the foundation for sustainable success and strengthen your competitive position.
