Supplier Capacity Coverage with supplier committed capacity of 600 units: a worked example
Suppose supplier committed capacity falls to 600 units. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate supplier capacity coverage for Supply Chain & Procurement — committed capacity against required demand.
The inputs for this scenario
- Supplier committed capacity: 600 units (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 1,200)
- Required demand: 1,000 units (held at the documented default)
- Percentage conversion basis: 100 x (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Capacity coverage = supplier committed capacity ÷ required demand × 100.
- Capacity coverage works out to 60 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Raw ratio works out to 0.6 value at these inputs.
- Conversion factor works out to 100 x at these inputs.
- Denominator works out to 1,000 value at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier committed capacity sits at 1,200 units and the headline result is 120 %, this scenario comes in 50% below the baseline at 60 %.
- It divides supplier committed capacity by required demand and expresses the result as a percentage of demand covered. 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.
