Scenario evaluation tool

With the scenario evaluation tool, you can compare scenarios against previously defined or categorized plan goals, objectives, and risks and against other scenarios.

To access the evaluation tool, open the space plan and select the Scenario Evaluation tab. IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities Strategic Facility Planning displays scenarios side by side in an evaluation grid.
Tip: The scenario evaluation tool displays only scenario metrics for plan goals that are defined on the space plan. If you want to change the items that are displayed in the Environmental, Financial, Operational, and Portfolio sections, adjust the space plan.

Scenario Evaluation section

The Scenario Evaluation section contains the evaluation grid. The scenarios that are displayed are listed in the Scenarios section and have the Include in Comparison flag set.

The left panel displays evaluation categories (objectives, risks, environmental, financial, operational, and portfolio).

The right panel displays scenarios; each scenario is presented vertically with the evaluation categories aligned.

Threshold/Value/Delta

The green, yellow, and red icons serve as a quick indicator of how the value compares with the threshold settings for the item. The number in the Value column is the data that is used by the threshold calculation. The value in the Delta column is the difference between the value in this scenario and the value in the scenario that is selected as the comparison base.

IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities provides one threshold for each standard scenario metric in the Scenario Evaluation section.

When an evaluation category is collapsed, Maximo Real Estate and Facilities displays the values from the first row for that category.

For objectives, Maximo Real Estate and Facilities multiplies the Importance Ranking for each line item times its Evaluation Ranking to get a score. The scores are added together and divided by the sum of the Importance Ranking values. For example:

Objective Item A: Evaluation Ranking A * Importance Ranking A = score A

Objective Item B: Evaluation Ranking B * Importance Ranking B = score B

Objective Item C: Evaluation Ranking C * Importance Ranking C = score C

Value = (score A + score B + score C) / (Importance Ranking A + Importance Ranking B + Importance Ranking C)
For Risks, Maximo Real Estate and Facilities multiplies the Risk Probability for each line item by its Evaluation Ranking times its Importance Ranking to get a score. The scores are added together and divided by the sum of the Importance Ranking values. For example:
Risk Item A: Risk Probability A * Evaluation Ranking A * Importance Ranking A = score A

Risk Item B: Risk Probability B * Evaluation Ranking B * Importance Ranking B = score B

Risk Item C: Risk Probability C * Evaluation Ranking C * Importance Ranking C = score C

Value = (score A + score B + score C) / (Importance Ranking A + Importance Ranking B + Importance Ranking C)

Tip: The threshold indicator displays when there is a threshold that is defined in the item.
