PLM, BOM & Digital Thread worked example

Supplier Data Package Completeness at 99% expected on-time submission rate: a worked example

This scenario runs the supplier data package completeness calculation on the strong side: 99% expected on-time submission rate, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when supplier data package completeness in plm, bom and digital thread is being asked to take on more work and you need to know if there is room.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Data-package items delivered per supplier submission: 4 units / cycle (unchanged)
  • Supplier submissions available in the window: 480 cycles (unchanged)
  • Expected on-time submission rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)
  • Expected first-pass acceptance rate of submissions: 97 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross supplier data package completeness capacity = supplier data package completeness output per cycle × available supplier data package completeness cycles) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,844 units for good supplier data package completeness capacity, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,920 units for gross supplier data package completeness capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 19.2 units for supplier data package completeness downtime loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 57.02 units for supplier data package completeness yield loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where expected on-time submission rate sits at 90% and the headline result is 1,676 units, this scenario comes in 10% above the baseline at 1,844 units.
  • Use it when planning a supplier data-collection window to forecast how many complete, accepted package items you will realistically have in hand. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Good supplier data package completeness capacity: 1,844 units (headline result)
