It helps evaluate the efficiency of the supply chain in meeting customer expectations. On-time delivery is crucial for maintaining high customer satisfaction levels. Timely delivery is often seen as a reflection of a company's reliability, and consistent punctuality can lead to increased customer trust and loyalty.
