UAR Measurement
Ensure Progress toward an Autonomous Supply Chain

At Solvoyo, we believe that the ultimate arbiter of autonomous supply chain planning is a key process metric called User Acceptance Rates (UAR). We define UAR as the percent of our prescriptive recommendations (e.g., how much safety stock to keep, how much and when to replenish, how many and when and where to produce, how many and when and from whom to purchase, who gets shorted in allocating scarce resources, which transport mode to use and how to load the transportation asset and which route it should take, etc.) that get executed without any change on what, when, how much and where. By focusing on the UAR and the change reasons, we guarantee continuous improvement of the processes, ensure the highest level of performance, and support your progress on your digital journey from manual to exception-based to autonomous supply chain planning.
