How to confirm that forecast targets are correctly applied

To ensure forecast targets are properly set and reflected in PMI — whether for a coaching session, planning review, or operational check — follow these quick steps:

Check the Budget & Forecast Module

  • Go to Budget & Forecast
  • Select the relevant month
  • Confirm that productivity targets and hours are entered for all departments

Review the Labor Cockpit

  • Navigate to the Labor Cockpit for the same period
  • Ensure that SMART hours match your targets
  • Look for any red hygiene warnings that indicate missing or outdated inputs

Verify Lock Settings

  • In the Cockpit, check whether productivity or hours are locked
  • Locked values ensure targets won’t shift if cost drivers change

Confirm with Department Heads (if needed)

  • HODs should verify that targets align with real operational needs

Tip: If anything’s missing or needs adjusting, update and save the forecast to apply the changes system-wide.
