Create a Supply Vulnerabilities and Opportunities (SVO)

When there is no existing SVO, a dialog to create will automatically show up when you come to this page.

To bring up the create dialog manually, click the icon button at bottom right.

../../_images/svo_create.png

Enter a unique name, choose flag, and optional description for this SVO, and click on Create.

Once created, next you may define details of this SVO on the main page.

Define

../../_images/svo_define.png

Once back to the main page, the name of this SVO will be shown in the big table's title as: [***] Capacity

  1. To define this SVO, first, we need to define the scopewhich resources to include, and what capacity parameters to change. Here is how:

    Use the top filters to choose a Resource/Location/Attribute combination. The table below the filters shows the monthly capacity of the selected resources, and parameters defining their capacity. Supply increases are shown in green, and decreases in red.

    Capacity parameters that can be changed are: (Only one can be selected at a time)

    • Production Days

    • Production Hours per day

    • Utilization Limit

    • Number of Lines

    Once selections in 1. 2. 3. filters have been made, the corresponding row in the big table below will become highlighted with light blue background.

    Production Available

    You can use this to disable production resources, or bring up new machines that will be available in the future months.

    To disable production resources, simply select 3.Capacity Attribute as Production Available. In the big table below, the row Production Available will become editable. Unselect the resources that you want to disable.

    To bring up new machines, those machines have capacity parameters data, but don't have "Production Available" data. After selecting those resources and selecting 3.Capacity Attribute as Production Available, In the big table below, the row Production Available will become editable. Now you may select the resources that you want to bring live.

    After making changes in the row Production Available, capacity value changes will be shown in the top right table.

    Here is an example of disabling production resources:

  2. Next, we need to define the values: increase or decrease. There are two ways.

    A. Change the parameters directly. The Capacity Hour will be calculated to reflect this change. For example, to increase Production Days in July 20 by 4. First, make selections. Second, in table 4. Increase/Decrase, enter 4 in column Change (Fixed value). (Area A in the above figure) Then you notice that there are two changes:

    One is in the same table, column Capacity % Change is updated with the percentage change on Capacity Hours.

    The other is in the big table below, Production Days is shown as 4 in green, and Capacity + V&O is updated with the difference brought by this increase.

    B. Change the Capacity Hour (difference), then the updated parameter will be calculated automatically. For example, to increase the capacity of Aug 20 by 100 hours. With the same selection, enter 100 in column Capacity Hour Change. (Area B in the above figure)

    Then you'll notice that there are two changes:

    One is in the same table, column Capacity % Change is updated with the percentage change on Capacity Hours.

    The other is in the big table below, Production Days is shown as 4 in green, and Capacity + V&O is updated with the difference brought by this increase.

    When mouse pointer hover over the green (as increased, or red as decreased), tooltip will show up with the changed hours and initial value. Example: example1

Action/Assumption

../../_images/svo_action_assumption.png

Action List is optional. Assumptions is required for saving.

Action/assumption can be added/deleted via widget action of the corresponding table. Both tables only show the actions/assumptions that are connected to the current SVO.

Switch Current SVO

The current SVO can be toggled from the sidepanel.

Save

After defining SVOs, data needs to be saved by the Save button save_icon on the bottom right of this page.

Overview of SVOs

An overview of created SVOs can be found on the next page.

../../_images/svo_overview.png

Initially all SVOs are displayed here. You may use the SVO filter on the sidepanel to narrow down the view.

The top chart shows total capacity hour by month of each SVO.

The bottom left table lists all created SVOs, with description, and total changes in capacity hour.

The bottom right table lists the details of the selected SVO from the left table. The details includes: changed Capacity Parameter(s), and the corresponding updated capacity hours.
