You will leave this Walmart supply chain class with a full understanding of what OTIF (On Time In Full) is and how to run its key reports. Using the OTIF Scorecard, we show you how to gain insight into true root cause for early, late and un-filled cases and discuss resolution options to prevent these exceptions on future purchase orders. A better OTIF performance prevents deductions and fines. You need to know this.

Who should take this class:
Managers and executives, accountants, operations managers, those working in forecasting and replenishment.
