View 07Supplier Lead Times

The lead time your vendor promised, and the one they deliver.

Supplier Lead Times tracks every purchase order from placement to receipt. It measures each vendor's real lead time and its spread, then uses those numbers in every reorder plan.

  • Actual, not quoted

    A vendor who promises 4 days and delivers in 7 is planned at 7, with buffer for the variation.

  • On-time score

    Share of orders delivered within the promised window, tracked month by month.

  • Fill rate

    Short shipments are measured too, so a vendor who sends 80% of the order is planned accordingly.

  • Vendor comparison

    When two vendors supply the same item, see which one keeps your shelves fuller for the money.
