Alerts, Actions, and Statuses for Deviating Actual Data
The system uses
deviation analysis
to compare plan PIOs with actual PIOs for the production phase and transportation phase. In the case of quantity and date/time deviations, the system creates the alert type
Actual Data Outside of Tolerance Range
(alert type 7115) for the work order item.
In addition, the system creates differentiated statuses and required actions for the plan PIOs.
High Actual Quantity
The actual quantity that is available for the plan PIO exceeds the maximum quantity (planned quantity plus overdelivery tolerance).
For a planned phase input, this means that the supplier has consumed too many input components.
For a planned phase output, this means that the supplier has produced too many output components.
In this case, the system creates the following status and alert:
Status :
High Actual Quantity
(HACQ)Required action :
Process High Actual Quantity
Moreover, if the high actual quantity was not consumed or produced by the planned date/time, but too early or too late instead, the system also creates an alert and status for the plan PIO with respect to the date/time violation (see below).
Low Actual Quantity
The actual quantity that is available for the plan PIO falls below the minimum quantity (planned quantity minus underdelivery tolerance).
For a planned phase input, this means that the supplier has not consumed enough input components.
For a planned phase output, this means that the supplier has not produced enough output components.
In this case, the system creates the following status and alert:
Status :
Low Actual Quantity
(LACQ)Required action :
Process Low Actual Quantity
Moreover, if the high actual quantity was not consumed or produced by the planned date/time, but too early or too late instead, the system also creates an alert and status for the plan PIO with respect to the date/time violation (see below).
Late Actual Completion
An actual quantity is available too late for the plan PIO (later than allowed by the time tolerance).
For a planned phase input, this means that the supplier has consumed the input components too late after the planned date/time.
For a planned phase output, this means that the supplier has provided the output components too late after the planned date/time.
In this case, the system creates the following status and alert:
Status :
Late Actual Completion
(LACC)Required action :
Process Late Actual Completion
Moreover, if the late actual quantity falls below the minimum quantity or exceeds the maximum quantity, the system also creates an alert and a status for the plan PIO with respect to the quantity violation (see above).
Early Actual Completion
An actual quantity is available too early for the plan PIO (earlier than allowed by the time tolerance).
For a planned phase input, this means that the supplier has consumed the input components too early prior to the planned date/time.
For a planned phase output, this means that the supplier has provided the output components too early prior to the planned date/time.
In this case, the system creates the following status and alert:
Status :
Early Actual Completion
(EACC)Required action :
Process Early Actual Completion
Moreover, if the early actual quantity falls below the minimum quantity or exceeds the maximum quantity, the system also creates an alert and a status for the plan PIO with respect to the quantity violation (see above).
