Throughput is an effective measure to evaluate the overall resources in a distribution warehouse. It refers to the amount of material or items passing through the warehouse system within a given time period. High throughput indicates efficient processing and movement of goods, reflecting the warehouse’s capability to handle large volumes. Throughput considers various resources including labor, equipment, and space utilization, providing a comprehensive evaluation of warehouse performance.

Cube utilization measures the use of available storage space but does not evaluate all resources.

Filled pallet positions indicates storage capacity usage but lacks a complete view of warehouse activity.

Labor efficiency focuses on workforce productivity but does not encompass other resources such as equipment and space.
