NEW - Capacity Planning Dashboard

All the time-related data from the NEW - Capacity Planning dashboard is displayed in the printer time zone set in RICOH Data Collector.

The NEW - Capacity Planning dashboard is organized into four tabs:

• Continuous Feed - Trend Analysis
• Continuous Feed - Daily and Hourly
• Cut Sheet - Trend Analysis

Each tab contains multiple visuals that present key metrics and performance indicators.

The following key performance indicators are included in the Continuous Feed - Trend Analysis tab:

This key metric measures the average length of paper (in feet) printed each week and compares it to the previous week’s average.

Daily Up time vs. Availability (70% of 24 hours)

This key metric compares the actual daily up time of a printer to the target of 70% of a full day.

These filter controls are defined for the NEW - Capacity Planning dashboard:

Date

Lets you filter the data based on a specific data collecting period. By default, the data in the dashboard is limited to the last 2 quarters.

When you edit the filter, choose one of the following options:

• Relative date

  Choose how you want the filter to relate to the time frame. You can choose to report on previous quarter, this quarter, quarter to date, last number of quarters or next number of quarters.

  You also have the option to exclude time periods.

• Absolute date range

  Choose the date range from the calendar.

The data is selected based on the time zone of the web browser that accesses RICOH Predictive Insight.

Location Name

Lets you display data only for specific locations.

To view data per location, you must first group your printers by location in the Locations panel on the Settings tab.

Only the printers that are currently registered in RICOH Data Collector can be associated with a location.

A location is displayed in visuals and filters only if it contains at least one printer and if data is available from the printers assigned to the location. If the location is associated with a shift, data must be available for the time interval covered by the shift.

Printer Name

Lets you display data only for specific printers in the locations selected for the Location Name filter.

Only the printers that have already sent job or status information are available in the list.

Shift Name

Lets you display data only for specific shifts associated with the locations and printers selected for the Location Name and Printer Name filters.

To view data per shift, you must first record your shifts in the Shifts panel on the Settings tab.

Shifts apply only to printers that are currently registered in RICOH Data Collector.

Data is assigned to a shift based on the printers included in the shift location and the printer time zone set in RICOH Data Collector. If a shift does not have a location specified, it applies to all the printers available in the system.

All the job data collected in the time interval covered by a shift is assigned to that shift, even if the job started printing or finished printing outside the shift interval.

A shift is displayed in visuals and filters only if data is available for the time interval covered by the shift. If the shift is associated with a location, data must be available from the printers assigned to that location.
