I just found out that our calculation of on time delivery might be skewed. We run a tally at the end of each month and that is the number I present to Top Management. I had always assumed that it was the number of dollars shipped during the month divided into the number of dollars that was due but not shipped times 100. This would give us our percentage of late materials. I now find out that it is figured by dividing the number of LATE dollars SHIPPED by the total dollars shipped times 100. This means we can have 20 late jobs at the end of this month and still show a 100% on time delivery. Next month would look bad of course.
We go by dollar volume because some jobs are $300 and some are $100,000. Now I am not even sure that this is the correct way to calculate this. Maybe jobs would be better, but a lot of our sales are KANBAN so I’m not sure how we would handle that.
I am thoroughly confused on this and would appreciate some Cove input.
Marc, Please feel free to move this if you think it will do better elsewhere.
