How You Review Backlog Analytics
After running a plan, you need to review planning results. Analytics are one way in which results are presented. To view backlog analytics in the Backlog Management work area, save your planning results and open the Backlog Analytics graph. This page presents three infotiles:
-
Planned Fulfillment Changes by Demand Value
-
On Time Fulfillment
-
Fulfillment by Lead Time Date
Planned Fulfillment Changes by Demand Value
This infotile depicts the value of orders whose dates can be improved versus the value of orders whose dates will be delayed. The time difference between the Scheduled date and the Planned date determines whether there is improvement or delay.
Drill down to view analytic data by organization:
-
Review the Planning Results by Organization table. It includes the total demand line count and the revenue of orders that are delayed, unchanged, and improved. You can click on these values to view these orders in the Backlog Analysis table.
-
Use the Top Delayed Demands graph to view the ten most delayed orders from a specific organization. Use the Drill To action to view these orders in the Backlog Analysis table.
On Time Fulfillment
This infotile depicts the percentage of orders that are scheduled to be fulfilled by their requested date versus the percentage of orders that are planned to be fulfilled by their requested date.
Drill down to view analytic data by customer, organization and item category:
-
These graphs account for the top ten high-revenue customers, organizations, and item categories.
-
They contrast the percentages of scheduled and the percentage of planned orders for each metric, while also displaying revenues.
-
While reviewing a graph, select a revenue bar and use the Drill To action to view results for orders in the Backlog Analysis table, for a specific customer, organization, or item category.
Fulfillment by Lead Time Date
This infotile depicts the percentage of orders that are scheduled to be fulfilled by their lead time date versus the percentage of orders that are planned to be fulfilled by their lead time date. This date is calculated from the demand fulfillment lead time, which is the number of days from the order creation date within which your customer, by contract, expects the order's fulfillment. So if the fulfillment lead time is 5 days, and the requested date is 1/20/2020, the lead time date would be 1/25/2020, assuming that your requested date is between 1/20 and 1/25. If your requested date is later than your fulfillment lead time date, say 3/25/2020, then the fulfillment lead time date is matched to your the requested date.
