Plan Monitor

Purpose

You can use the Plan Monitor to

  • Determine the quality of the current planning situation

  • Compare various planning and simulation versions with each other

  • Compare planning over different periods

The Plan Monitor considers the key figures for which you have created key figure variants in the key figure schema .

Features

The Plan Monitor evaluates the key figures for a plan in relation to specific objects, versions and periods, and assigns scores to the results. You can define your own calculation rules , according to which the scores are to be calculated, or you can use standard aggregations (for example, sum or mean value).

You can display the results in a table and in a graphic.

For an example of how the Plan Monitor can support you during your planning, see Implementing the Plan Monitor in Detailed Scheduling .
