Abstract

Since it began operations 25 years ago, FedEx has excelled in both strategic and operational performance. While there are measures developed and used internally for both, this discussion will focus on operational performance measures. For FedEx, those measures are free, fast, and practical. They are created by technology that is imbedded in the service‐delivery process.
