OTIF (On Time In Full)

Orders delivered both on time and complete.

Definition

Orders delivered both on time and complete.

Why it matters

OTIF is the joint test of reliability and completeness, and drives customer trust and chargebacks.

Formula

Orders On Time and In Full / Total Orders x 100

Example

870 of 1,000 orders delivered on time and complete gives 87% OTIF.

How to interpret it

A gap between on-time and OTIF points at quantity shortfalls rather than transit issues.

How to improve it

Split the failure reasons, then fix supplier lead time variability and inventory coverage separately.

Common mistakes

Measuring against a revised promise date rather than the original commitment.
