Customer Service & Fulfillment

Whether the order arrived complete, on the date you committed to.

OTIF has no single definition, and the spread between the defensible ones is wide enough to change what a supply chain review concludes. Order grain or line grain, measured against the original commitment or the current one, on the ship date or the delivery date — each pairing produces a different, honest number. The definitions here publish every switch and the denominator each figure was computed over; perfect order gets the same treatment, published as the AND across its four components beside the product of their rates, which is the answer that looks right and is not. Lead time is here too, read as a distribution rather than an average, because a promise date set from a mean is wrong about half the time by construction.

Metric definitions

Computable definitions from the KPI Dictionary — every decision switch made explicit, with the formula and the source tables in each ERP.

Dashboard patterns

A wireframe paired with the star schema underneath it: fact grain, measures with their additivity rules, and the source tables per reference.

Reference builds

Working implementations of the definitions and patterns above, running over frozen, simulated data. Not a resource and not a case study — no client data, and no client named.

Simulated data, frozen snapshot — not a live client system.

In the references

Where this data lives in each source system. A way into the ERP references, not an index of them — every reference landing lists all of its modules.
