Selecting Network Risk run options

The Supply Chain Prescriptions Network Risk algorithm has a variety of options to help you generate the prescriptions that you need.

You need to have the Business User role to be able to run prescriptions. Contact your administrator if you need this role.

Before you generate prescriptions, be sure you have run the Network Optimization and Cost to Serve Analysis problem types on your scenarios in Modeler.

Supply Chain Prescriptions Network Risk options

Options	Description
Flow Changes
Flow Percentage Change	Set the minimum percentage value of the flow you are willing to shift from your critical sites in your supply chain. The value should be an integer between 1 and 20. The default value is 10%.
Sensitivity	Use this field to set the upper and lower bound on the Flow Percentage Change at critical sites. Together with the Flow Percentage Change, the Sensitivity value is used to create the three proposed networks displayed on the Network Risk Summary dashboard. The value should be an integer between 1 and 20. The default value is 5%. The recommended limit for the maximum flow shift (the Flow Percentage Change + Sensitivity) is 20%. The results of the Flow Percentage Change and the Sensitivity must always be greater than zero. The Sensitivity value should therefore always be smaller than the Flow Percentage Change value.
Critical Products
Number of Top Products	Select the number of top products that you want to include in your prescriptions. These products are chosen based on the revenue they contribute in your model. The default value is 5 products. The recommended limit is 10 products, but you can specify up to 20 products.
Products to Exclude	Chose products to exclude from your prescriptions.
Export To Excel	Use this button to download an Excel file that includes the products to exclude from Network Risk prescriptions. You must select at least one product to export the file. When you export to Excel, Prescriptions sends you an email with a link to the export file. The default file name is Excluded-products.xlsx.

You can use Export To Excel to download an initial file, then populate it and import it back in to define your products to exclude.

Profitability Margin	The Profitability Margin is used with the product cost to approximate the product price in order to calculate product revenue. This value is used when the product price is not available in your Supply Chain model. The default value is 15%. The limit is 99%. Only positive integer values are allowed.
Critical Sites
