Announcing the Workshop on Improving Your OTIF Scores

What’s going on?

On Wednesday, December 9, 2020, at 10 AM CST, SupplyPike and Supplier Community are teaming up to bring you session #2 of our Ultimate OTIF Workshop: Improving Your OTIF Scores!

With the 2020 new changes Walmart made to its On-Time In-Full (OTIF) program, it’s harder than ever to be compliant. So, how do you reach that 98% goal each month? In this workshop, we’ll dive into how to help you improve your scores.

What will the workshop look like?

The workshop will feature 1 hour of instruction, 30-45 minutes of workshop time, and 30-45 minutes of general discussion and questions.

The 2nd session, Improving Your OTIF Scores, will be on Wednesday, December 9th at 10 AM CST and will last 2 hours. We’ll focus on identifying the root causes of low OTIF scores and how to boost your performance.
