Researchers have addressed warehouse performance evaluation from different perspectives, although comprehensive, systematic reviews remain rare due to usual focus on a particular aspect of warehousing. Recognising the need to produce an encompassing performance framework for warehouse management, this study offers a systematic literature review of the existing research to group the identified metrics and link them to strategic tasks in warehousing. 178 unique performance metrics were classified into four dimensions: operational, financial, social, and environmental and further assigned into 12 subdimensions. The study offers several contributions to the existing knowledge of warehouse performance. It synthesised the literature, provided the metrics’ definitions, and developed a comprehensive framework of performance based on metrics’ grouping as linked to management’s strategic decision making. The framework can be used as a guidance for customised performance systems based on management needs. The presented framework, however, is not seen as all- encompassing. In view of the dynamically developing measurement research in the social and environmental dimensions, it is expected that these dimensions will be expanded with new metrics soon.en
