As shared in the past four Trade Days, the LCBO has launched a Vendor Performance Program.  The program involves the implementation of two key performance indicators (KPIs) -- Order Confirmation and On-Time and In-full (OTIF). These KPIs are being rolled out in a phased approach supporting continuous improvement as we progress. Most importantly, it allows time for more communication along the way so there are no surprises.

  1. Order Confirmation KPI: We have been sharing the period results of this KPI since July 2022. Starting in P1, FY23/24, there will be a $50 charge for each Purchase Order not confirmed within two (2) Business Days. An invoice for the total will be issued at the end of each period.
  2. On-Time and In-full KPI: We continue to measure results to refine our methodology. We will share the implementation details next fiscal year.
