| Performance indicators in Enterprise Planning |  |
| Performance indicators in Enterprise Planning are used to monitor the planning performance of plan items, resources, and scenarios. The Resource Analysis and Optimization module offers several sessions that you can use to: View the performance of plan items and resources Compare the performance of various plan items Compare the performance of various resources Compare the overall performance of two scenarios The performance indicators represent several aspects of your planning: Demand (for example, the total demand that is delivered late) Supply (for example, the average throughput time) Inventory (for example, the average projected inventory) Finance (for example, the total material costs) Types of performance indicators The Performance Indicators (cprao2201s000) session contains several tabs on which the performance indicators are subdivided according to the following main planning issues: Utilization: performance indicators on this tab relate to capacity issues such as the capacity used for a range of resources/plan items, the free capacity, and the average capacity utilization. Delivery: performance indicators on this tab relate to delivery related issues such as the status of the inventory, customer service, and nonconsumed forecast. Inventory: performance indicators on this tab relate to the absolute and the relative inventory performance. Financial: performance indicators on this tab relate to the cash flow and the production and material costs. The performance indicators on these tabs corncern plan items, resources, or both. How to work with performance indicators Use the Find Performance Indicators (cprao2202s000) session to define the scenario, the resources and the plan items for which ERP LN must compute the performance indicators. ERP LN computes and stores indicators separately for each item or resource. You can view these indicators in the following sessions: Plan Items - Performance Indicators (cprao2550m000): in this session, you can view the performance indicators of several plan items simultaneously. This can help you to identify the plan items that need special attention from a planning point of view. Resources - Performance Indicators (cprao2560m000): in this session, you can view the performance indicators of several resources simultaneously. In this way you can compare the performance of resources. You can use the following sessions to obtain performance indicators on the level of scenarios, for a range of items and resources: Performance Indicators (cprao2201s000): this session displays the performance indicators for one specific scenario. If you click the Find Record icon, you can specify a particular scenario, and ranges of plan items and resources for which ERP LN must display the performance indicators. Scenario Performance (cprao2203s000): this session displays the performance indicators for two particular scenarios. If you click the Find Record icon, you can specify two scenarios, and ranges of plan items and resources for which ERP LN displays the performance indicators. You can use this session to compare the performance of two scenarios. Related topics Enterprise Planning, an Overview To compute average projected-inventory levels To compute the total demand late |
