- Contract - negotiate and assist in the completion of mutually beneficial contract.
- SOP's - develop account specific SOP's ensuring operations, KAM's, and customers expectations are clearly defined and operational processes are developed/managed to meet expectations. Also, by definition, SOP's must define "special circumstance/exception management" ensuring the customer's products and processes continue to flow.
- Business Reviews - Develop customer specific business reviews designed to add objectivity to the account. The review must define the value proposition and clearly define Schenker's performance to the value proposition. The second key objective is to identify and track Schenker's continuous improvement process. The business review is a forum to discuss current performance, improvement and develop a framework to grow the business.
- KPI's - KPI's are the objective basis of performance management. "What is measured is fixed". KPI's should be customized per customer.
- Business Planning - A business plan is required for each account. The plan clearly identifies the current business (in both written and budgetary/P&L format), lays the foundation for future growth through proactive planning and "needs identification" - the KAM is responsible for 15% organic growth per year. The business plan is a dynamic document that changes yearly/monthly to reflect the customer's business evolution.
- Continuous Improvements - Identification, documentation and implementation of continuous improvements will save the client money and/or time. One or two realistic improvements per year will create value for the customer and drive Schenker's value beyond rates.
