The concept of Economic Value Added (EVA) as an alternative to value-based performance measurement is a measure of the economic added value generated by a company as a result of management activities or strategies. With EVA, company owners will only value activities that add value and discard activities that damage or reduce the value of the company as a whole. PT X Indonesia is engaged in Warehousing and Distribution, becoming a promising business in the development of Distribution and Warehousing in Indonesia.
