 Explore Supply Shortages

 

The analytical app Explore Supply Shortages provides a long-term overview of situations in the supply network where available supply quantities fall short of demand quantities. You can monitor and analyze the relevant supply planning data on an aggregated level, and perform a drill-down analysis as needed.

Key Features

  • You can use the app to do the following:

    • View your supply planning data (key performance indicators (KPIs) and key figures) in a personalized table or chart

    • Gain an overview of the data on an aggregated level

    • Drill down into the data to identify the root cause of possible issues

      To perform a drill-down analysis of planning data, you can filter it by the following dimensions:

      • Location

      • Product

      • Attributes of location and product (for example, product group, region or planner)

      End of the note.
  • You can display 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 display your own custom KPIs as additional columns of the table view.
