Accessing the Peak R4HA by Billing Month chart

To access the Peak R4HA by Billing Month chart

  1. In the Cost Efficiency Rating quadrant, click the greyed-out toggle dot (green dot.PNG).The Peak R4HA by Billing Month chart displays as shown in the following figure:

    By viewing the coefficients of the ratio as separate charts, you can identify which one was more responsible for any dip or valley of the ratio chart.

    In general, if the chart for the average MSU for a month contains a sudden drop and the Peak R4HA for the same month remains level, it indicates that during this month the system was underutilized. In this case, you should investigate why there is a wide discrepancy between the actual cost of MSU usage and the average amount of MSU being utilized.

    On the other hand, if the chart for the Peak R4HA for a month contains a sudden spike and the Average MSU Usage for the same month remains level, it indicates that during this month, there may have been a problem. In this case, you should investigate what event occurred to cause the surge in the Peak R4HA.
