On Time Delivery is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures order fulfillment. OTD represents part of the overall supply chain management discipline encompassing delivery reliability and delivery performance. Often, the formulas that govern OTD are built into your ERP software.
The OTD measurement indicates a period or window in which delivery can occur. For example, if a client expects their batch of multilayer PCBs in their hands by August 21, your OTD would consist of a time frame you define that starts at an earlier date and ends on August 21.

As with all KPI and metrics, OTD isn’t a one and done thing. You need to keep an eye out for trends, changes, and other ways to utilize and refine your OTD measurements. If you’re not sure how to get started with OTD, begin by partnering with a service that understands material management and supply chain management principles.
