Most Food & Beverage businesses measure OTIF at dispatch. Their customers measure it at receipt. The gap between those two timestamps is where dock rejections, shelf-life refusals, temperature excursions, and partial deliveries accumulate – invisible to internal reporting until the retailer penalty invoice arrives.
This playbook is a decision-oriented reference for Supply Chain, Commercial, Operations, Finance, and Logistics professionals in Food & Beverage. It explains how OTIF works in environments shaped by dock booking discipline, freshness pressure, promotional volume spikes, and the execution gap between commercial commitments and production reality.
This document covers:

What makes this different from generic OTIF definitions:
The playbook identifies five specific internal metrics that systematically report green while customer-receipt OTIF fails – and explains the measurement logic behind each one. It also addresses the S&OP governance gap between commercial volume lock and operational production freeze, including a cost attribution model for allocating retailer penalties to the P&L that controlled the commitment decision.
Designed for:
Supply Chain Directors, COOs, and Operations Managers managing retailer service agreements in chilled, ambient, frozen, and confectionery F&B. Also relevant for consultants structuring OTIF improvement programmes and finance teams reconciling retailer deduction logs against supply chain performance data.
This is not a generic KPI definition. It is a 15-page F&B practitioner playbook built around the operational realities that make OTIF harder to measure and improve than most internal dashboards suggest.
