The value assessment indicator is indicated by an arrow for the sub-panels and can be interpreted as follows:

  • A red arrow headed up means scenario 2 value has increased compared to scenario 1 value and a higher value has a bad impact on the supply plan.
  • A red arrow headed down means scenario 2 value has decreased compared to scenario 1 value and a lower value has a bad impact on the supply plan.
  • A green arrow headed up means scenario 2 value has increased compared to scenario 1 value and a higher value has a good impact on the supply plan.
  • A green arrow headed down means scenario 2 value has decreased compared to scenario 1 value and a lower value has a good impact on the supply plan.
  • A grey arrow headed up means scenario 2 value has increased compared to scenario 1 value and a higher value has a neutral impact on the supply plan.
  • A grey arrow headed down means scenario 2 value has decreased compared to scenario 1 value and a lower value has a neutral impact on the supply plan.
  • The arrow is not displayed for values where the difference is zero.
