Measuring Suppliers: OTIF and the Scorecard
You score one shipment six defensible ways, and the answers run from nothing to everything. You rebuild a vendor scorecard so that it measures the factory rather than the buyer who kept it waiting. Then you take the harder half: what a supplier does once it can read your formula.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can place an order with the supplier who can genuinely take it, and run a dated critical path across a portfolio rather than one order. You can judge a factory on evidence rather than on its last excuse, and act on a slip while there is still time to act.
Who it is for
Brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You score one shipment under six defensible OTIF definitions. You build a six-supplier scorecard with its weights argued and its compliance gate taken out of the points. You build a delay attribution that separates the buyer's days from the factory's and prices them by the hour. You build a like-for-like comparison that survives unequal order difficulty. And you price three supplier behaviours a bad card buys.
