How are scenarios organized in the Kinaxis tool?

In the Kinaxis tool, scenarios are organized in tree structures with a root scenario, which allows users to visually navigate and manage different scenarios effectively. This organizational structure mimics the real-world decision-making process, where scenarios can branch out from a root scenario, showcasing variations or implications of certain decisions.

The tree structure enables users to maintain a clear hierarchy of scenarios, making it easier to understand relationships between them and navigate through different alternatives or contingencies. This capability is essential for scenario planning, as it allows teams to analyze the impact of various conditions and decisions systematically.

In contrast to flat lists or other formats, the tree structure provides a more intuitive and logical arrangement that supports strategic analysis and decision-making. It helps users to see the connections between various scenarios, which is crucial in supply chain management and responsiveness to changes in the environment.
