    "The collective's website said it delivered 116,483 meals to 450 schools on Wednesday.

    But 9.96 percent of the meals were not on time, up from 0.04 percent on
    Tuesday and 0.26 on Monday."

    So the question I would ask is, What is the requirement for delivery on
    time? Is 1 seond late accepatable, 1 min, or one hour late. When does the delivery become late?

    It would far more useful if the lateness was put into time bands, say 0-10,
    10 to 20, 20 to 30mins late along eith over 30 mins late.

    Good question Gordon. How long do you think should be unacceptable?
    The occasional late delivery due to weather and traffic conditions may
    be unavoidable - and that will depend on how local manufacture is. But
    a quarter of the time is not good enough. If you were a teacher in a
    school classified as being in the lowest 20% of New Zealand on the
    equity index for young people facing socioeconomic barriers to
    achieving in education?

    Sorry, missed before the question mark: "what would you find
    unacceptable"
