20 Oct MANUFACTURING KPIS: STATIC TO REAL-TIME AND 50 TO 10
In the Manufacturing KPIs: Static to real-time and 50 to 10 presentation, only 20% of companies say they get KPIs needed to make decisions…read on.
Fewer than 20% of companies say that “everyone” in their business gets the numbers they need to make day-to-day decisions (according to The Advanced Performance Institute). To steer the business properly, leaders need a long list of KPIs – usually on a monthly basis.
That list can get shorter, when data for metrics becomes real-time.
Maybe it’s time to rethink key performance indicators for your manufacturing operation in context of real-time data. It means the right people and the right insight at the right time.
Consider this: Producers that shift from static information to real-time data are the real winners when it comes to operations performance, complete on-time shipments, and new product introductions. They’re also the ones that can shift from monthly KPIs to weekly, weekly KPIs to daily, and daily to real-time, and in the process reduce the number of front-line metrics to just those that will have the greatest impact on operations and business performance.
