Performance Measurements for Improving Construction Logistics - A Case Study

• In the spring of 2010 a case study with the ambition to measure the construction site logistics in terms of Perfect Order Fulfilment and the movement of goods was conducted. It was found that less than 38 % of all incoming deliveries to the specific site were delivered correctly, regarding item, quantity, damage, documentation, and delivery date. Due to the inadequate management of delivery performance and logistics, extra movements of goods are prominent. During a period of 20 workdays a cost of about 30 000 SEK was spent on moving goods, many of these movements could be seen as unnecessary and could be avoided with proper planning.
