"Customer Performance Analysis Reports" DSW has developed performance reports measuring actual account activity for each customer's product movement.  These 'report card' analysis reports grade our efforts in achieving the highest quality of customer service, and provide you with key scorecard information for your business. DSW's CUSTOMER PERFORMANCE REPORT shows monthly, quarterly, and annual product throughput in cases, hundred-weight, and pallets.  The report also tracks order information including average weights, cases, items, and orders per month.  All handling, storage, and special charges are listed for easy reference.  This report enables both DSW and you to track inventory turn rates, racked / floor stacked products, and cost per pallet.  All information is shared monthly with our customer partners. DSW'S ORDER PERFORMANCE REPORT audits order cycle time, on-time delivery rates, case fill, order exceptions (i.e. overages, shortages, damages upon delivery), and carrier usage information.  This report actually grades our efforts as your business partner....as well as enabling you to grade the performance of your people, brokers, carriers, and consignee habits.  Our common goal is to deliver orders to our mutual end-customer on-time, damage free, and complete.  If deficiencies occur anywhere along the supply chain, specific reason codes identify them.  Working together, service failures are identified and fixed timely. DSW's DAMAGE PERFORMANCE REPORT tracks all damage handled through our warehouses from 'inbounding' through 'outbound loading'.  This report provides detailed information to further grade our performance as well as your suppliers and inbound carriers. All these reports...and more...are all-inclusive in your handling and storage rates!!!
