Computing Performance Indicators

  1. Select the Find Record icon on the tool bar to start the Find Performance Indicators (cprao2202s000) session. Enter a scenario and a plan level.
  2. Select the range of resources and plan items for which you want to compute the performance indicators. If you only want to view the performance indicators for a specific resource or for a specific plan item, enter the same resource or plan item in both the From and To fields.
  3. Click OK to go back to the Performance Indicators (cprao2201s000) session.
  4. Click Compute Indicators to compute the performance indicators. LN computes the values of all performance indicators and stores them separately for each selected plan item and resource. In the next step, these values can be aggregated for ranges of resources and plan items.
  5. Click Update Indicators to retrieve the performance indicators that were computed in the previous step. Each indicator is displayed as a total or average value for the selected resources and plan items.
Note: 
  • When the data on which the computation is based changes (for example, the demand forecast changes), the performance indicators are not automatically updated. If you want to make sure that the indicators reflect the current planning situation, recompute, and update them by repeating Steps 4 and 5.
  • For an explanation of each performance indicator, see the help information of the performance indicator fields.
  • All indicator computations that are carried out for a range of plan periods, start with the plan period in which the current date falls. For instance, when the field help information states that an indicator is computed for all plan periods, you must keep in mind that plan periods that lie completely in the past, are ignored.

On the appropriate menu you can select the following options to view performance indicators:

  • Select Compare Scenario Performance button to go to the Compare Scenario Performance (cprao2203s000) session. In this session you can compare the performance of two scenarios.
  • Select View Performance Indicators by Plan Item to go to the Plan Items - Performance Indicators (cprao2550m000) session. In this session you can view the performance indicators of several plan items simultaneously, which helps you to identify plan items that need special attention from a planning point of view.
  • Select View Performance Indicators by Resource to go to the Resources - Performance Indicators (cprao2560m000) session. In this session you can view the performance indicators of several resources simultaneously.
  • Select View Work Load Control Performance Indicators to go to the Work Load Control Performance Indicators (cpwlc2520m000) session. In this session you can analyze the performance of a combination of scenario and plan level.
