Calculating the Ideal Spot To calculate where the ideal spot is in each round, start with the segment center in the table below and then adjust for the offset. These offsets represent the distance from the center of the segment to the ideal spot. The activity practices how to calculate the Ideal Spot using information in the Industry Conditions report. Looking at the table below for Round 1, the 'Low End' segment center has a Performance (Pfmn) specification of 3 and a Size specification of 17. Now we look at the bottom of the table to see how much the ideal spot is offset from the center of the segment, and we see that the Low End ideal spot is offset by -0.8 for Pfmn and +0.8 for size. Size 15.0 Size 17.0 Segment Center by Round Traditional Round Pfmn 0 5.0 1 5.7 2 6.4 3 7.1 Offset 0.0 Low End Pfmn 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 High End Pfmn 7.5 8.4 9.3 10.2 + 1.4 Size 17.5 17.0 16.5 16.0 + 0.8 14.3 13.6 12.9 Size 12.0 11.0 Performance Pfmn 8.0 9.0 10.0 11.0 + 1.4 Size Pfmn 3.0 3.7 4.4 Size 12.5 11.6 10.7 9.8 - 1.4 16.3 15.6 10.0 9.0 14.9 - 1.0 5.1 + 1.0 0.0 -0.8 - 1.4 So, we can calculate Round 1 ideal spot my product in the Low End segment is: Center Ideal Spot 3.0 Pfmn: Size : Offset - 0.8 + 0.8 = 2.2 - 17.8 17.0 Use the segment centers in the table above to calculate the new ideal spots for the segments. Once you have successfully entered the correct ideal spots for Rounds 0 and 1 (open fields), the rest of the table will fill in automatically. If you have entered any answers incorrectly, a line should appear through your answer and a pop bubble will appear.
