Cost Efficiency Rating quadrant


The Cost Efficiency Rating quadrant displays charts that show the current and projected cost efficiency ratings as percentages.

The following figure shows a sample Cost Efficiency Rating quadrant.

The current rating indicates the cost efficiency of the total MLC product spending from the start of the contract through the current billing month and is generated only from actual spending.

The projected rating shows the cost efficiency of the total MLC product spending from the start of the contract through the end of the contract and is generated from both actual and projected spending.

A system operating at 100% cost efficiency would indicate that the Peak R4HA (which determines cost) and the Average MSU Used (which determines the theoretical minimal value of the Peak R4HA) are equal.

Accordingly, the percentages that are shown provide insight as to how close your system is tuned to the maximum efficiency that is possible. The closer the cost efficiency rating is to 100 percent, the more the MSU usage has been optimized to reduce costs.

From the Cost Efficiency Rating quadrant, you can access alternative chart views to compare the Peak R4HA and the Average MSU Used for the entire contract period. For more information, see:

Note

The Cost Efficiency Rating quadrant also contains a link to the Contract CPC Summary drill-down chart. This chart can be accessed from the drill-down link button (drilldown link icon.PNG).
