Supplier on-time receipt rate study methodology

Ownership and material connection

This study and this methodology are owned and operated by OLT Solutions.

OLT Solutions publishes this page, designed the study, and operates the ERP platform whose supplier receipt records the study would measure. No third party commissioned, sponsored, or independently reviewed the design, and no payment influences what is measured or published.

Current status

No study results exist yet. No data has been collected under this specification. The study has no findings, no rankings, and no participation figures, and this page will not present any results until the observation window has closed and the reported values clear the floors below.

Editorial review date: 2026-09-06.

The attended editorial review is recorded. The published methodology is also checked against all thirteen fixed requirements before the observation window opens.

Study question

Among qualifying supplier receipts recorded by participating OLT Solutions tenant organizations during the observation window, what share were recorded on or before their planned date?

Study population

Non-deleted OLT Solutions tenant organizations that are neither external nor platform organizations and have a current participation receipt matching this study specification, participation policy, and consent framing.

Inclusion criteria

A receipt qualifies only when its organization has current participation for this exact specification; its received date is within the observation window; its status is completed or QC hold; its same-organization purchase order is not cancelled and identifies a supplier; and a planned date is available from the receipt expected date or one unambiguous linked shipment, using the destination schedule, shipment delivery date, departure ETA, or current ETA in that order.

Metric definition and pooled formula

Metric identifier: on-time-receipt-rate.

On-Time Receipt Rate: The share of qualifying receipts recorded on or before their planned date.

Formula identifier: supplier_scorecard_on_time_receipt_rate_v1.

Pooled on-time receipt rate = 100 × qualifying receipts recorded on or before their planned date ÷ all qualifying receipts with a planned date. Qualifying receipt records are pooled across eligible participating organizations before the rate is calculated, then the result is rounded to one decimal place.

Qualifying receipt records are pooled across eligible participating organizations before the rate is calculated. The study never calculates or averages tenant-level rates.

Observation window

Observation window: 2026-10-01 through 2026-12-31.

The window is fixed and prospective: it was specified before it opened, and it is not extended, shortened, or re-selected after the fact.

Consent framing

Consent framing: opt-in. Only tenants who explicitly opted in are included.

Participation is recorded per organization against this exact specification version. An organization that has not opted in contributes no records, and an organization that withdraws stops contributing from that point.

Aggregation and suppression floors

No result will be published unless both the organization cohort floor and the applicable small-cell floor are met.

Minimum aggregation cohort size: 50 organizations. No value is published unless at least that many qualifying organizations are in the pooled cohort.

Small cell suppression threshold: 10. Any cell built from fewer qualifying records than that threshold is suppressed rather than published.

Editorial review step

Before any result can be published, an editor must compare the planned analysis and public copy with this fixed specification, confirm every required disclosure, and record the editorial review date.

After that review is recorded, the methodology verifier checks the live page's HTML response, indexability, self-canonical URL, visible specification statements, and content fingerprint. A missing or drifted requirement blocks publication.

Evidence model and limitations

Results are pooled across participating organizations from OLT Solutions supplier receipt records. No organization, supplier, buyer, contact, or individual record is identified, and no per-organization or per-supplier value is published.

The design measures only what participating organizations recorded in the platform. It is not a random sample of the industry, is not audited by a third party, and cannot be generalized beyond the qualifying receipts it defines.
