Supplier On-Time Delivery at 99% target otd: a worked example

This scenario runs the supplier on-time delivery calculation on the strong side: 99% target otd, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it to track on-time delivery against target in Supply Chain & Procurement.

The inputs for this scenario

  • On-time deliveries: 188 deliveries (unchanged)
  • Total deliveries: 200 deliveries (unchanged)
  • Target OTD: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 98)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (On-time delivery = on-time deliveries ÷ total deliveries × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 94 % for on-time delivery, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 points for gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 188 count for on-time deliveries.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 200 count for total deliveries.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target otd sits at 98% and the headline result is 94 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94 %.
  • Use it monthly or quarterly when building supplier scorecards, preparing supplier business reviews, or qualifying a new vendor against your acceptance threshold. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
