A METHODOLOGY FOR A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INTEGRAL INDEX OF DEMAND–PRODUCTION ALIGNMENT IN THE BUILDING MATERIALS INDUSTRY

This article develops a formalized methodology for multidimensional assessment of demand–production alignment in the building materials industry. The study specifies the indicators, normalization rules, and aggregation procedure needed to assess quantitative, assortment, spatial-logistics, temporal, and resource-capacity alignment jointly. The methodological design synthesizes established approaches to composite indicators, industrial statistics, forecast evaluation, and missing-data treatment. Five component scores—BQ, BA, BH, BT, and BR—are defined alongside asymmetric normalization of shortages and surpluses, geometric aggregation, a coverage measure (COV), data-quality statuses, and a mandatory constraint triggered by breaches of quality, safety, or environmental requirements. The resulting calculation protocol permits the Integral Matching Index (IMI) to be reported only with its component profile, normalization parameters, uncertainty interval, and data provenance record. A complete industry-level IMI is not calculated because a harmonized panel of orders, inventories, logistics, effective capacity, and resource availability is not currently available. The methodology is intended for subsequent reproducible validation using enterprise data and may be incorporated into sales and operations planning (S&OP) and strategic monitoring. Its practical interpretation focuses on identifying the component that constrains overall alignment rather than merely comparing aggregate scores.
