KPIs you are measured on

Top pains and how to handle them

Goods received 'in system' before they are checked

Book the receipt only after the physical check; differences are recorded on the delivery note and signed by the driver.

Trucks waiting at the dock

Use booked slots and prepare loads before the slot, not when the truck arrives.

Missing or wrong documents at delivery

Use one document checklist per shipment and keep a copy of every signed proof of delivery.
