The Calibration Interval Impact Report is accessed by selecting Interval Impact Report from the Reports menu on the Main Screen.  This report shows the workload and cost impact that would result if recommended intervals were assigned.  The relevant cost data must first be specified via the Analysis Parameters Screen or the Cost Variables Screen before the Impact Report can be generated.  Report features and functions are briefly described below. 

Report Options

The Scope option allows you to view results for all models, currently selected manufacturer/models, or those within a specified range.  The Approval option allows you to view results for all intervals or approved intervals only.  The Source of "Previous Interval" Field option is used select intervals from a previous analysis of the IntervalMAX database or from an external database.

Report Fields
The first two columns contain the Manufacturer and Model number for each item that was included in the current analysis.  The 

Previous Interval column contains the recommended or assigned interval from the prior analysis.  The New Interval column contains the current interval recommended by from the Model Level or Class Level analysis.  The Analysis Level column contains the Analysis Level on which the current assigned interval is based.  Analysis Levels are Instrument Class (C) and Manufacturer/Model (M).
 
The Pct Change column contains the percent change in interval that would result if the current recommended interval were to be assigned. The Number Items column contains the number of Serial Numbered items that participated in the analysis.  The Workload Change column contains the percent change in the annual number of items tested or calibrated that would result if the current recommended interval were to be assigned.  The Cost Difference column contains the annual difference in cost that would result if the current recommendations were to be implemented.
 
Results

The Interval Changes section displays the number of times the new intervals differ from the previous intervals, the average difference between the new and previous intervals and the associated percent change.

The Estimated Annual Cost Impact section displays the estimated increase or decrease in the annual number of calibrations, and the associated net cost, that would result from implementing the new intervals.
