Indicator Calculation Rule
The value of an indicator is calculated from results for objects linked to this indicator.
These results are visible under the object in question.
To define the indicator calculation rule:
1. Connect to the indicator the objects whose results will enable you to calculate the value of the indicator. To do this, select the objects and drag them onto the indicator.
2. Click the indicator to display its calculation rule.
3. Select the results that interest you and drag them onto the calculation rule.
An indicator can be defined from several unitary results from several simulation objects:
Value = "Result 1" + "Result 2"
An indicator can also be defined from other indicators. To do this, they must be defined as sub-indicators of the indicator to be defined:
Value = "Result1" + Indicator 2
The indicator value appears in the scenario results tree.
Time
The simulated value of an indicator has no unit. Functions dayOf, hourOf and minuteOf allow you to return a value in days, hours or minutes.
For example, the calculation rule returning the "Order for delivery" procedure processing time in minutes is:
value=minuteOf(Order for delivery. Average processing time / Result)
Rerunning indicator calculation
The value of indicators is recalculated at each simulation. In the case of modification of an indicator computation rule, the
Calculate indicators button

enables computation of the new results for this indicator without the need to rerun the entire simulation.
