Pick-to-ship lag is not pick accuracy
Ship hour − pick hour make lag hours. Type both plus orders.
Pair: Pick-to-ship lag on Stock. Accuracy: pick accuracy cost. Returns: returns restock lag.
What you type
Pick hour — hour index when the cohort was picked (window clock).
Ship hour — hour index when those orders shipped.
Orders — orders in that same pick-to-ship cohort.
Lag hours = ship hour − pick hour. Fix pack / carrier cut when hours are fat — do not invent a lag chip.
What not to do
Do not invent lag hours. Do not mix cartonization misses into pick hour. Do not treat inbound putaway as pick. Do not average every warehouse when one owns the lag.
