Introduction

The scenario comparison features in 4C Supply® allow users to compare a variety of forecast calculation outcome parameters between contexts (study, scenario, RTSM data extract). Users can compare:

• two or more scenarios from different studies,

• two or more scenarios from the same study,

• the same scenario, but with different RTSM data extracts or

• combinations of the above.

These comparison capabilities can help meet different comparison use case requirements, such as:

• comparing different what-if scenarios or

• comparing the alignment of actuals development with a forecast.

Visual scenario comparison reports

Visual scenario comparison reports allow the user to compare the site activation, enrollment, net demand and production plan between contexts in a visual form. Because some of these reports display actual and forecasted data, visual reports are particularly useful in comparing the alignment of actuals development with a forecast.

Scenario parameter comparison

Scenario parameter comparison facilitates the comparison of key indicators from multiple scenarios in a compact tabular form.

Notes

There must be a valid forecast report for each context in a comparison. If one or more of the contexts does not have a valid forecast report, a popup message is shown when the comparison report is called.
