Checking planned values

For process monitoring purposes, the PPM system allows you to define planned and alarm values. Planned values relate to a set of process instances, alarm values relate to an individual process instance. Critical upward or downward alarm value infringements are possible for individual process instances, although the planned values for the associated set of process instances are still being met.

Process type-specific checking for upward or downward infringement of target values for individual measures concludes the PPM system’s data import. The calculated measures are compared with the planned values defined in the PPM user interface and the specified actions, such as sending an e-mail to the process manager (planned value message), are executed.
