Performance indicator report

This report shows some key metrics of the generated plan. The report allows quick review of the plan quality, comparisons between different plans, and validation of model or parameter changes.

The metrics being reported are:

  • Problems
    For each problem category the total number of problems is reported, as well as the sum of their weights.
  • Demand
    The total requested quantity of demand (including both net forecast and customer orders) is reported.
    The total planned quantity is shown, which in absence of any constraints matches the requested quantity. Any difference between the requested and planned quantity is reported as the unplanned quantity.
    The demand satisfied late is reported both as quantity and in total lateness (being the quantity planned late multiplied by the delay in days).
  • Operation
    The total number of operationplans as well the summed up quantity is shown.
  • Resource
    The total resource consumption is displayed. The consumption is defined as the load size * load duration in days.
  • Material
    The total produced and consumed quantities (including raw material, finished goods as well as intermediate buffers) is displayed. When the produced quantity exceeds the consumed quantity the inventory is increasing over the planning horizon.

It is important to note that these numbers provide only a high level and very rough indication on the plan. They are in no way intended to be used for reporting the plan results to management. For instance, the metrics assign the same importance to a delay of a high priority customer and a low priority forecast, the numbers give equal weight to inventory of a 1$ component and a 1000$ end item, etc.
