What A Gap Like Yours Usually Is

A double-digit OTIF gap at this volume is rarely a demand-planning problem \u2014 forecasts miss by a point or two, not ten. Most often it traces to carrier-pickup timing slipping past the retailer's appointment window, or an ASN/EDI transmission lag between your warehouse system and your ERP that pushes the advance ship notice past the compliance deadline. Both are systems and scheduling fixes, not headcount problems, and both are traceable in about two weeks from your existing scorecard and remittance data.

Questions To Ask Your Team This Week

How many hours pass between "shipment confirmed" in the warehouse and the ASN hitting the retailer portal?
Is that ASN transmission on a real-time trigger, or a nightly batch job?
Of the last 20 OTIF deduction codes on the remittance, how many were ever formally disputed?
