Key indicators and measures

IPW is also designed to identify the highlights and exceptions of a planning process that are essential in decision making. The highlights and exceptions are defined in the application by a flexible color coding feature that enables you to identify the most critical planning issues and items that require immediate action.

These key indicators and measures can help you in your decision making process:

• Dynamic coverage time per time bucket
• Coverage time in relationship to shelf-life
• Safety stock and maximum inventory violations
• Forecast fulfillment 0%
• Expected future negative shelf-life issues and positive reclassification of inventory
