Measures Used for Comparing Policy Parameters
This topic lists the measures that are used for comparing policy parameters.
These measures provide the following kinds of information:
-
Summary of the policy comparison process
-
Existing policy parameters and whether they were calculated or adjusted
-
Suggested policy parameters
-
Percentages of deviation between the existing and suggested policy parameters
Measures that Provide a Summary of the Policy Comparison Process
These measures provide a summary of the policy comparison process:
Measure |
Description |
---|---|
Policies Automatically Accepted |
Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are automatically accepted. The policy parameters have the Automatically accepted status. |
Policies Manually Accepted |
Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are manually accepted. The policy parameters have the Manually accepted status. |
Policies to Review |
Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that must be reviewed. The policy parameters have the To be reviewed status. |
Policies Reviewed |
Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are reviewed. The policy parameters have the Reviewed status. |
Policies Adjusted |
Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are manually adjusted (overridden). The policy parameters have the Adjusted status. |
Policies Retained |
Number of item-location combinations with policy parameter overrides that are retained. The policy parameters have the Retained status. Policy parameter overrides are retained when the Retain policy overrides check box is selected in the Scope: Advanced Options dialog box on the Scope tab of the Plan Options page for a replenishment plan. |
Measures for Existing Policy Parameters
These measures provide information about the existing policy parameters and whether they were calculated or adjusted:
Measure |
Description |
---|---|
Previous Minimum Days |
Days previously calculated for the Minimum Days measure. |
Previous Minimum Days Type |
Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Minimum Days measure was calculated or adjusted. |
Previous Maximum Days |
Days previously calculated for the Maximum Days measure. |
Previous Maximum Days Type |
Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Maximum Days measure was calculated or adjusted. |
Previous Minimum Quantity |
Quantity previously calculated for the Minimum Quantity measure. |
Previous Minimum Quantity Type |
Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Minimum Quantity measure was calculated or adjusted. |
Previous Maximum Quantity |
Quantity previously calculated for the Maximum Quantity measure. |
Previous Maximum Quantity Type |
Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Maximum Quantity measure was calculated or adjusted. |
Previous ROP Days |
Reorder point (ROP) days previously calculated for the ROP Days measure. |
Previous ROP Days Type |
Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the ROP Days measure was calculated or adjusted. |
Previous ROP Quantity |
ROP quantity previously calculated for the ROP Quantity measure. |
Previous ROP Quantity Type |
Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the ROP Quantity measure was calculated or adjusted. |
Before the policy comparison process begins, the existing policy parameters are copied into these measures.
Measures for Suggested Policy Parameters
These measures provide information about the suggested policy parameters:
Measure |
Description |
---|---|
Suggested Average Daily Demand |
Suggested average daily demand. |
Suggested EOQ |
Suggested economic order quantity (EOQ). |
Suggested Minimum Days |
Suggested minimum days. |
Suggested Maximum Days |
Suggested maximum days. |
Suggested Minimum Quantity |
Suggested minimum quantity. |
Suggested Maximum Quantity |
Suggested maximum quantity. |
Suggested Order Quantity |
Suggested order quantity. |
Suggested Policy Type |
Suggested policy type. The value is the existing policy type. |
Suggested Policy UOM |
Suggested unit of measure (UOM). The value is the existing UOM. |
Suggested ROP Days |
Suggested ROP days. |
Suggested ROP Quantity |
Suggested ROP quantity. |
Suggested Safety Stock |
Suggested safety stock. |
Suggested Safety Stock Days |
Suggested safety stock days. |
You can use the Suggested Replenishment Policy Parameters table for the replenishment plan to view these measures.
Measures for Deviation Percentages Between Existing and Suggested Policy Parameters
These measures provide the percentages of deviation between the existing and suggested policy parameters:
Measure |
Description |
---|---|
