Walmart OTIF Update 4/9/2018

As Walmart continues their journey to 95% On-Time and In-Full (OTIF) performance, they are making adjustments to benefit their customers and supply chain.  On April 9th, 2018, Walmart announced that in order to keep products on the shelves, they are adding a 1 day early delivery option for Dry Grocery and Consumables to be delivered without OTIF fines. This change will go into effect for purchase orders with an MABD (Must Arrive By Date)  on or after March 31, 2018.

The chart outlined below reflects the updated OTIF schedule.
