On-time Delivery

What is driving delivery performance?

On-time Delivery is a key performance criterion. Monitoring on-time delivery and order fill rate percentages allows you to flag negative trends and enable faster customer service responses. It also provides Sales with information to solve potential issues before going on customer calls.

As well, unfulfilled delivery expectations provide important information for Accounts Receivable when checking on late payments from customers. This decision area can also uncover root causes of supply chain problems.

With the On-time Delivery decision area, you can set planning goals and scorecarding metrics for these elements of performance management:

  • Average lead time days (#)
  • Order fill rate (%)
  • On-time unit delivery (% and #)
  • Average quoted lead days (#)
  • IT project cost ($)

Most importantly, you can analyze these goals and metrics by a number of dimensions to find the hidden gems in the data:

  • Fiscal month / year
  • Customer and Industry
  • Carrier / distributor
  • Lead time and on-time range
  • Brand and product line
  • Location
