Sheerline Announces World Class OTIF for 2025

The image shows a lorry branded with the Sheerline and Garnalex logos with a green hexagon that says ’99.4% average OTIF’.

The team at Sheerline are once again celebrating, but this time they haven’t won an award, they’ve maintained their impressive OTIF of 99.4% across the whole year.

To demonstrate that this isn’t by accident, but the result of production efficiencies, strategic planning, and strong internal communications, the team have been sharing regular OTIF updates with customers, through adverts, in articles, and via social media.

While this has obviously been a great topic to talk about, it has more importantly provided tangible benefits for Sheerline’s customers. Aside from giving them the visibility to accurately plan their production schedules, they know exactly what they’re getting and when it will arrive, giving them the knowledge that they’ll deliver on their promises for their customers.

Sheerline’s Technical Production Director, Ross Hartshorn, commented: “Over the past 12 months we’ve not only increased our OTIF, but we’ve maintained it – even achieving an OTIF of 100% for a period. Anyone who works in manufacturing knows what an achievement this is.”

“It’s the result of changes we’ve made to our machinery, our processes, and internal training to ensure our production teams are working as harmoniously as they possibly can be. It’s clear this approach is working, but we’re always looking for ways to improve,” he added.

To make 2026 your best year yet, switch to Sheerline by contacting the team directly on 01332 978 000 or email info@sheerline.com.
