Four often-used statistics are shown at the mid-right part of the screen. Using the 'Statistics' menu choice at the top of the player application, a player is able to view a wider variety of statistics. These statistics reflect the effects of decisions which were made.

The figures above illustrate a few of the possible statistics. The top-left graph in the image shows the actual stock of a product (the red line), the committed stock (the green line) and the ordered stock (the blue line). When a shipment is delivered, or received, this information is reflected in the chart as shown in the "Stock: Server" chart. It appears that a shipment of 20 servers has been received on day 37 of the game, therefore the blue line fell back to zero (there was apparently only one shipment which had been scheduled).

The image below shows the average size of a committed order to a customer, as well as the minimum and maximum order size as sampled during the game play.

Manipulating the graphs

By default, the range of the statistics will show the total time of a game on the x-axis. However, often one wants to have an 'auto range' for a statistic. This means that the range for the x-axis of a statistic is based on the played time of a game, and not on the total game time. As a result, more details will become visible. The range of the x-axis of the statistic then is automatically updated as a game progresses in time. The illustrations below give an overview how 'auto arranging' works. By clicking with the right mouse button when pointing at a statistic, a menu appears (see illustration). You have to select the "Auto Arrange" option, and the type of auto range you would like to use. In this case we selected "Both Axes".

When the left button is clicked on the "Both Axes" option, the result as illustrated in the figure below is shown. We see that our range for the horizontal axis went back from more than 200 till 10. Furthermore we see a small difference in the chart which we before could hardly distinguish. The four statistics shown in the first example above have all been auto arranged, as you will notice by now.
