We are trying really hard to get a "good" days on hand report. Had been
using the IAVEU field from IIM - Average Monthly Usage to help in these
calculations. After digging into it - found we have our Alpha Factor
set up at .10 - so current month is weighted much less. Trying to
decide what this factor should actually be... What do all of you have
this set at at your facilities? Does BPCS have anywhere else rolling 12
monthly buckets for usage? Can it be facility specific or only global?

Wendy,

For our 405CD installation, we wrote a program that runs after INV900 that calculates the actual AMU based upon the last 12 months of activity. Everyone is much happier with the results.
