Use

In this activity, you define how a metric contributes to the overall supplier rating for a given delivery type.

You control this behavior by a set of calculation rules. Every row in the table maintained in this activity represents a single rule. The scope of a single rule can be at three different levels:

  • The rules control the metric calculation for a particular supplier and ship-to location. Supplier and ship-to location are explicitly specified for the rule.
  • The rules control the metric calculation for a particular supplier and any ship-to location. Whereas the supplier is explicitly specified for the rule, the ship-to location is set to the value <DEFAULT>.
  • The rules control the metric calculation for any supplier and any ship-to location. Both supplier and ship-to location are specified by the value <DEFAULT>.

When the system starts the calculation of a metric score for a given supplier, ship-to location, period of investigation, and delivery type, it searches for a matching calculation rule. According to the different scopes outlined above, multiple matches are possible. Here, the best-matching rule with the lowest number of <DEFAULT> values is chosen. By appropriate use of these <DEFAULT> values, you can easily provide a set of default rules for all combinations of metrics and delivery types that can be applied to all suppliers and ship-to locations.

You can maintain multiple versions for each rule. Every rule has a field with name Valid From that defines the earliest period of investigation for which this rule is applicable. Every new version inactivates versions with an earlier start date.

Requirements

You can only create rules for combinations of metrics and delivery types that have be maintained with IMG activity Valid Combinations of Metrics and Delivery Types previously.

Standard settings

The standard setup includes default rules for all combinations of metrics and delivery type that are also included in the standard setup.

Activities

Specify settings for all fields of a calculation rule.

Start with the rule's key that uniquely identifies a rule:

  • First, specifiy for which suppliers and ship-to locations the rule should be applied.
  • Then, name the combination of metric and delivery type of the rule.
  • Finally, define the date of the earliest period of investigation for which this rule can be applied.

Continue with the main characteristics of the calculation rule:

  • The indicator Metric Used specifies whether the metric is to be included in the reporting or not.
  • The indicator Use Default Value if No Valid Data Exist specifies whether a default score is to be taken if data that is required to calculate the metric does not exist. If this indicator is set to Yes, and there are no valid data in a certain period, then the score points from the field Default Score Due to No Valid Data are taken.
  • The indicator Supplier Is Process-Enabled specifies if it makes sense from a business point of view to calculate a metric.
    If this is not the case, the default score points entered in Default Score Due to Not Process Enabled should be assigned. By this decision, business rules can be established to apply default values for suppliers that are (technically) not able to be measured for some metrics in the given period of investigation.
  • It might happen that for a specific metric, the default points are used as scores for both delivery types of a given supplier and ship-to location. In this case, the weighting factor in field Weighting Factor for Default Score in Percentage is used to determine a weighted average which is shown in reporting as effective score for this metric. Please note that the sum of weighting factors for both delivery types must be 100 in order to calculate a correct average.

Please note the following special case in which neither score points are calculated nor a default score taken. This means that the metric does not contribute to the overall supplier rating for the given period:

  • No valid data is available for the supplier and ship-to location for the given period of investigation to calculate the metric score.
  • The indicator "Use Default Value if No Valid Data Exist" is set to No.
  • The indicator "Supplier Is Process-Enabled" is set to Yes.
