Determine Delivery Reliability

Improve compliance with delivery dates requested by the customer

The Delivery Reliability&nbsp is a decisive competitive advantage: Those who deliver ordered goods faultlessly and on time to the right place are rewarded with satisfied and loyal customers. This is why a clear view of one's own delivery reliability and that of suppliers is so important.

Improve your delivery reliability through more transparency

The regular determination of one's own delivery reliability is a critical aspect for many companies, as it represents an important building block for supplier evaluation with customers. The company's own delivery reliability can be evaluated according to several criteria: in relation to the delivery date agreed in the order, the first confirmed date or the customer's desired date. The SAP standard does not offer a way to determine one's own delivery reliability for scheduling agreements.

Since the delivery reliability of suppliers has a major influence on the company's own delivery reliability, it is also important to have an overview of this. The supplier's delivery reliability is also an important factor when it comes to commissioning a supplier. The corresponding key figure can be determined using a method such as VDA 5001 (logistical supplier evaluation). For this purpose, quantities delivered and posted in the goods receipt are compared with the open order quantities (schedule line quantities) at the time of delivery. In the case of delivery schedule lines and delivery schedules, the relationship between quantity and on-time delivery performance is also relevant. However, the SAP standard functions do not sufficiently support the determination of delivery reliability.

Our experts have developed a solution for both requirements. As part of the SPEEDI&nbspplatform, they integrate seamlessly with SAP and provide answers to your delivery reliability questions: For your own delivery reliability complements SPEEDI the SAP module Sales & Distribution (SD), for the delivery reliability of your suppliers the SAP module Materials Management (MM).

Our process solutions

SPEEDI Delivery Reliability SAP MM

Our solution for evaluating the delivery reliability of your suppliers: The solution SPEEDI Delivery Reliability MM assigns delivered quantities to the schedule lines that are open at that time when the goods receipt is posted, uses this information to determine the key figure for delivery reliability, and stores it in a SPEEDI-table. The results can be selected in a monitor ("Delivery reliability supplier MM view") according to parameters such as purchasing organization, plant as well as supplier or material number for the desired period and clearly visualized in an ABAP list viewer report (ALV). For each individual goods receipt posting and based on the assigned schedule lines, it shows whether a delivery was on time, early, or late and calculates the key figure for delivery reliability according to VDA 5001.

SPEEDI Delivery Reliability SAP SD

The solution SPEEDI Delivery Reliability SD provides suppliers with the necessary transparency as to whether they themselves meet the delivery dates requested by the customer. By comparing the deliveries posted in goods issue with the corresponding delivery and JIT delivery schedules of the customer, which serve as the target, it determines where short or excess deliveries occurred and which delivery was earlier or later than agreed according to the SAP delivery schedule. The number of days by which a deadline was missed is also calculated, as well as the deviation in percent. The result of the evaluation is visualized SPEEDI Delivery reliability SD clearly and traffic light functions immediately signal the delivery schedules that contain late deliveries (red) or too early deliveries (yellow).
