Supplier Data Package Completeness at 65% expected on-time submission rate: a worked example

Suppose expected on-time submission rate falls to 65%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate supplier data package completeness for plm, bom and digital thread using production-ready inputs so teams can confirm whether capacity can cover demand before committing the schedule.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Data-package items delivered per supplier submission: 4 units / cycle (held at the documented default)
  • Supplier submissions available in the window: 480 cycles (held at the documented default)
  • Expected on-time submission rate: 65 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 90)
  • Expected first-pass acceptance rate of submissions: 97 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross supplier data package completeness capacity = supplier data package completeness output per cycle × available supplier data package completeness cycles.
  • Good supplier data package completeness capacity works out to 1,211 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gross supplier data package completeness capacity works out to 1,920 units at these inputs.
  • Supplier data package completeness downtime loss works out to 672 units at these inputs.
  • Supplier data package completeness yield loss works out to 37.44 units at these inputs.

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 27.78% below the baseline at 1,211 units.
  • It computes the good, accepted count of supplier data-package items from gross capacity after applying an on-time submission rate and a first-pass acceptance rate. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
