On-Time Metric

The On-Time metric tracks the percentage and actual number of supplier shipments that are on time, early, and late for all of the items within a period. You can base your measurements on one of two methods:

• The number of receipts in relation to the schedule date.

  For example, if you expect one shipment of 100 pieces on February 15 but, instead, you receive the following, the calculation would reflect a 75 percent early metric:

  1. Receiver ID 1, 10 items received on February 11.

  2. Receiver ID 2, 10 items received on February 12.

  3. Receiver ID 3, 10 items received on February 13.

  4. Receiver ID 4, 70 items received on February 15.

• The aggregate receipt quantity in relation to the schedule date.

  Using the previous example, this calculation would reflect a 30 percent early metric.
