General Capex Strategy Module
General Capex Strategy Module
The Capex Strategy module is where you map the assets of a system of sites, build a picture of the business as it stands, and test strategic scenarios against it. This page covers what the module does, how to open a project, and how a Weissr model divides time.
What the Capex Strategy module does
Capex Strategy lets you map out the assets across a system of sites and enter both historical data and forward-looking assumptions for costs, revenues, investments and capital. Together these form the overall picture of your business system.
The point of that picture is comparison. Starting from the Base Alternative, which describes the business as it stands today, you build and combine changes into Strategic Alternatives and compare them against each other and against the baseline. That is how you arrive at a capex strategy you can defend.
💡 Tip: The three alternative types are the core concept in this module. 👉 Alternative types (BA, SBB, SA)
Opening a project
Sign in to Weissr. The landing page shows the modules available to you.
Select Capex Strategy. A list of the projects you have access to appears.
Click the project to open it.
📌 Note: If a project you expect to see is missing, or it will not open, contact your administrator. Project access is granted per user.
How time is divided in a Weissr model
To keep data entry manageable, every Capex Strategy model splits its timeline into four periods. They are defined relative to the current year, shown below as CY.
Period | Covers | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Period 1 | CY-7 | The opening year of the model. |
Period 2 | CY-6 to CY | The historical period, holding actuals up to today. |
Period 3 | CY+1 to CY+5 | The near future, where detailed assumptions are entered. |
Period 4 | CY+6 to the end of the model scope | The trend period, carrying the long-term trajectory. |
🔧 Configuration: These intervals can be made longer or shorter, but not every user has permission to change them. Contact your administrator or your Weissenrieder & Co. contact person if you need them adjusted.
