Get a Grip on Your D.C.

Study your operation and set up internal production standards that can be measured while being fair. Don’t just use someone else’s standards, as they probably won’t fit your operation.

The important benchmarking exercise is to measure your production against yourself by season, month and week. Increase the “height of the bar” over time; you’ll generally see overall productivity increase. The most difficult part of all of this is getting accurate production data.
