EDI Order To Delivery Cycle Time Formula
where ReceivedDateTime = Date Time on which product is ‘checked in and available for unloading’ by the customer (including transit, warehousing, appointment delays).Elapsed time is measured in calendar hours, not business hours.
Order Received Date Time = Date Time 0.
Order Actual Receipt Date Time = Date Time on which product is ‘checked in and available for unloading’ by the customer (including transit, warehousing, appointment delays).
Individual Orders
Orders over a Period
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Manufacture to forecast assuming 7 calendar day operations
Order is placed via EDI by customer (Hour #0).
Order is processed/reviewed by manufacturer and/or sent to plant/distribution facility for fulfilment (Hour #24).
Order is picked and transportation arranged in correspondence with the buyer ‘requested delivery/pickup date’ (Hour #48 – Hour #72).
Shipment departs fulfilment location en route to customer location (Hour #96) – 24 hour transit.
Product arrives at customer location and is available for unloading (Hour #120).
Order to Delivery Cycle Time = 120 hours.
Order to Delivery Cycle Time = (120-0)/1.
Example 2: Manufacture to order, assuming 3 day production cycle
Order is placed via EDI by customer (Hour #0).
Order is processed/reviewed by manufacturer and/or sent to plant/distribution facility for fulfilment (Hour #24).
Production of product occurs (Hour #96).
Order is staged and transportation arranged in correspondence with the buyer ‘requested delivery/pickup date’ (Hour # 120).
Shipment departs fulfilment location en route to customer location (Hour # 144) – 24 hour transit.
Product arrives at customer location and is available for unloading (Hour #168).
Order to Delivery Cycle Time = 168 hours.
Order to Delivery Cycle Time = (168-0)/1.
