  2. What Is Productivity??? • “The ratio of the quantity and quality of units produced to the labor per unit of time” • Basically you want to make more PROFIT (output) from less EXPENSE (input)

  3. Aggregate Productivity Measures What they tell you…. • If your company is in sync with vision and mission statements. • If long and short term goals are being met. • Basically the overall health and direction of your company.

  8. Examples Of Companies Who Are Using Technology Successfully • Wal-Mart • Home Depot • Sears and other large retailers • They have invested in this technology to be more effective in their markets.

  9. Example: Wal-Mart • Invested large amounts of money in their own distribution center • They monitor by the second turn-over time, sales per sq. foot, sales per store, etc. • They deal with suppliers on their terms only • This allows them to maintain control of their productivity.

  10. Major Productivity Measures • Corporate • Turnover • GMROII • Sales per square foot • Sales/Profit per employee • Store Level • Average Transaction • Items Per Ticket • Conversion Rate

  11. Turnover Rate • Measures the velocity of movement of stock • Is important because stock costs money and inventory is fragile • Is a key productivity measure and has moved very little in the past 25 years • Sales/Average Inventory=Turnover

  12. Gross Margin Return On Inventory Investment (GMROII) • Measures how well we have invested the money given to us for inventory • Is the only ROI formula to return a currency not a percentage • Often used to compare category performance in a company • Also used to compare our company to others • Gross Margin Dollars/Average Inventory at Cost= GMROII

  13. Sales Per Square Foot • Measures productivity of space • Space should follow sales • Space costs money and higher sales on existing space is productive • Sales/Square Feet Selling Area=Sales per Square Foot

  14. Sales/Profit Per Employee • Payroll is one of the greatest “inputs” while sales and profit is the “output” • Key measure of productivity of our people is the sales/profit per employee calculation • Sales or Profit/Total Number of Employees= Sales/Profit Per Employee

  15. Average Transaction • How much does the average customer spend in your store • Critical number as it measures your ability to sell more of what you have to customers you already have • It should always be improving! • Sales/Number of Transactions=Average Transaction

  16. Items Per Ticket • Measures how many items the average customer purchases • Highly correlated to performance of suggestion and add-on selling • Should be increasing! • Total Items Sold/Total Transactions= Items Per Ticket

  17. Conversion Rate (aka Close Ratio) • How many customers out of 100 who enter your store to make a purchase • Measures how well you “convert” shoppers to buyers • The higher the conversion rate the better • Total Transactions/Total Customer Traffic=Conversion Rate
