Notes:
The current design has the performance indicated in the column "Value". Its rank, according to the indicator, is given in the column "Rank".
For the given indicator, the best value attained in all the saved designs is given in the column "Optimum", in the same units.
The design number where this value was attained is given in the column "Design #".
Finally, the difference between the current design's indicator value and the optimum is given in the column "Diff.".
This difference is a percentage (Productivity) or a factor (Design Quality).
If a "+" or "-" sign appears, that means that due to the optimum value of zero, the factor might be infinite, and hence a simple difference is given.
