> Delivery reliability measures the share of planned shipments that reach the consignee on time, expressed as a percentage of punctual deliveries against total scheduled deliveries.

Delivery reliability measures the share of planned shipments that reach the consignee on time, expressed as a percentage of punctual deliveries against total scheduled deliveries. It ranks among the most widely used KPIs in supplier evaluation and contract logistics; many supply agreements specify minimum thresholds, and falling below the agreed level can trigger penalty clauses or termination rights. Transport and warehouse management systems typically capture the figure automatically, feeding it into supplier scorecards and continuous improvement programmes. Delivery reliability differs from OTIF (On-Time-In-Full): OTIF combines timeliness and quantity accuracy into a single metric, whereas delivery reliability focuses specifically on the timing dimension.
