Frequently asked questions

What is considered a good on-time delivery rate?

Generally, 95% or higher is considered excellent, while 90-94% is good. Rates below 90% may indicate supplier reliability issues requiring attention.

How often should I calculate supplier performance?

Monthly or quarterly assessments are recommended for regular suppliers. Critical suppliers may require weekly monitoring to ensure consistent performance tracking.

Should partial deliveries count as on-time?

This depends on your business needs. Typically, only complete deliveries meeting order specifications and arriving by the agreed date count as on-time.
