The evaluation profile contains criteria such as cost, delivery time, and resource utilization, which are used to measure the performance of the plan or schedule. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use an evaluation profile, first create a production plan or schedule. Then, create an evaluation profile that contains criteria that are relevant to the plan or schedule. Finally, run the evaluation profile against the plan or schedule to measure its performance. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an evaluation profile, make sure to include criteria that are relevant to the production plan or schedule being evaluated. For example, if the plan or schedule involves multiple resources, make sure to include criteria related to resource utilization.
