Time-to-Ship Performance

Time-to-Ship Performance captures the interval from order receipt to the moment goods physically leave the facility, covering picking, packing, labelling, and any pre-shipment checks.

Quick Answer

Time-to-Ship Performance captures the interval from order receipt to the moment goods physically leave the facility, covering picking, packing, labelling, and any pre-shipment checks.

A short time-to-ship signals lean fulfillment operations; an extended one points to bottlenecks in handling, documentation, or quality inspection.

Logistics managers rely on this KPI to benchmark warehouse efficiency, set realistic delivery commitments, and identify where process improvements will have the greatest impact.
