Change the Margin Value

In the Production Loss Regions section, values in the Cost column represents the expense associated with the production loss. By default, GE Digital APM assumes a one-to-one ratio of lost production to cost. For example, if your production loss data is recorded in tons, then GE Digital APM assumes one dollar of cost for every ton of lost production. To make the Cost value accurate, you may want to change the default loss-to-cost ratio.

Steps

Access the Production Analysis whose Margin value you want to change.
In the left pane, select the Production Data tab.

The Production Data workspace appears.
In the upper-right corner of the workspace, select Analysis Tasks, and then select Margin Value.

The Set Margin window appears.
In the Margin Value box, enter the value by which GE Digital APM will multiply the production loss to determine the cost. For example, if each ton of lost production costs two dollars, enter 2 in the Margin Value box.
Select OK.

The Production Loss Regions section displays the new calculations for the Cost values.
