OTIF is the share of orders delivered on time and in full.
Measure it by carrier, forwarder and lane to see what moves it.
What OTIF means
OTIF stands for on time in full: the share of orders delivered on the agreed date and in the agreed quantity.
How to calculate it
Divide the number of orders that arrived on time and in full by the total number of orders in the period. Agree what counts as on time first, because a one-day window and a same-day window give very different scores.
What moves it
For importers, OTIF is usually decided long before the warehouse: by transit times, port delays and how early a late shipment is spotted. Measuring it by carrier, forwarder and lane shows where to act.
