Delivery Index for the part (for a schedule or across schedules) “x” Delivery Weightage

Delivery Index Across Schedule [DI (1) * {SQ (1) * DD (1)} + DI (2) * {SQ (2) * DD (2)}] “/” "[SQ (1) * DD (1) + SQ (2) * DD (2)......]

Where,

DI (1), SQ (1) and DD (1) are delivery Index, schedule quantity and delivery days respectively for schedule 1

DI (2), SQ (2) and DD (2) are delivery Index, schedule quantity and delivery days respectively for schedule 2.
