Scatterplot for Visualize Relationships With Supply Chain Cycle Time

Use Scatterplot to visualize supply chain cycle time versus one continuous variable.

This example applies to the Supply Chain Module. For more information, go to www.minitab.com/supply-chain-module.

Example

Supply chain cycle time is the length of time to complete an order if inventory levels are zero. Supply chain cycle time includes the amount of time to order, fulfill, and receive the order.

In this worksheet, Cycle Time is the Y variable, and Inventory Level is the X variable.

C1	C2
`Cycle Time`	`Inventory Level`
52	5500
37	7354
56	1424
49	3864
