Supply-chain manager OTD scorecard decision
The decision for a supply-chain manager
A supply-chain manager needs a clear next action, not another status label. Choose whether on-time delivery is measured against the original promise, the latest approved promise, or a contract date. Helios frames this page around that decision and keeps the evidence visible beside the action.
Fictional example
Fictional Falcon Ridge Engines is a fictional company and all values below are sample data. Falcon Ridge has three receipts for one PO line: 50 units on the original date, 30 late, and 20 still open. The manager records the denominator and keeps open quantity visible. The example shows how a reviewer can state the decision without turning an uncertain supplier message into a committed date.
What the artifact records
The On-time delivery rule card keeps the input, decision, owner, and next review date together. It is useful for a short review with purchasing, materials, quality, planning, or the plant team. The artifact is a review aid; it does not replace the controlled record used by the company.
Boundary
This is a noindex staging page with fictional data. It does not send email, write to an ERP, certify a supplier, or claim a production result. P1 STATUS records 0 live-tested integrations; any live connector or system write requires separate testing and approval. Helios language on this page describes a workflow review and a browser artifact. It does not claim customer results, certifications, predictive accuracy, or an ERP marketplace listing.

Frequently asked questions
Does this page prove a supplier’s on-time percentage?
No. The numbers are fictional. The artifact makes the date rule visible so the manager can apply it to verified receipt history.
