The analytical app View Supply Shortages displays key performance indicators (KPIs) that help you identify situations in the supply network where available supply quantities fall short of demand quantities. The app enables you to respond to critical situations promptly and helps you to allocate supply across the supply network as needed.
You can use View Supply Shortages to do the following:
View the list of top supply shortage issues and recognize the most pressing ones
Visualize the selected issues in a personalized table or chart containing all the relevant demand-supply key figures
Compare stock levels in different locations on the Detect Network Inventory screen
You can navigate to the Detect Network Inventory screen using the Compare button in the Alternative Locations table.
You can monitor the following KPIs on the launchpad:
Supply shortage (% of total demand)
The supply shortage (% of total demand) KPI indicates the percentage of the missing supply quantity compared to the total demand for all location products and periods.
The KPI is calculated from the following key figures of the individual location products:
Supply shortage
Total demand
For each period and location product, the formula for calculating the supply shortage KPI takes the lower value out of the supply shortage key figure and the total demand key figure. It sums the values for all periods. The result is divided by the total demand for all location products and periods (calculated by summing the total demand key figure for all periods and location products). To receive the percentage value, this value is multiplied by 100.
The value displayed on the launchpad tile is an aggregated value for all location products.
Supply shortage (maximum)
The supply shortage (maximum) KPI indicates the maximum of missing supply quantity. The KPI is calculated for each period from the supply shortage key figure of the individual location products. The formula for calculating the supply shortage (maximum) KPI selects the maximum value out of the received results.
To calculate the value displayed on the tile, the missing supply quantities of all location products are summed for each period, and the maximum is selected out of the received results.
You can also display your own custom KPIs as additional columns of the Supply Shortage table.
