KPI Software for Manufacturing

 

KPI (Key Performance Indicators) Software for Manufacturing

Manufacturers, both discreet and process, now have a unique advantage they can employ. KPI software specifically designed for them, which takes into account both business metrics as well as production data and can be delivered on-demand.
KPI Software for Manufacturing

Performance measurement software provides users with the ability to visualize and analyze KPIs (key performance indicators). It delivers the power of visualization based on actual metrics directly into the hands of decision makers.

By combining business, operational and production performance KPIs, even when the data is from disparate systems, users are provided with near real-time, actionable metrics and KPIs for optimal decision making in the manufacturing environment.

Users can even be sent alerts via e-mail when KPIs, which have been designated as their responsibility, reach pre-defined alarm levels.

The Tuppas Difference
At Tuppas our focus is on continuous innovation. We provide your team with the ability to out innovate your competitors by providing tools that can affordably respond to your changing expectations on demand. KPI Software for Manufacturing


Some of the basic production performance KPIs are listed below:

  • 1. Overall equipment effectiveness
  • 2. Scheduled production
  • 3. Open orders
  • 4. Quality tracking-six sigma
  • 5. WIP
  • 6. Cycle time
  • 7. Material costing, usage
  • 8. Labor usage, costs-direct and indirect
  • 9. Forecasts
  • 10. On-time orders
  • 11. On-time shipping
  • 12. Job, product costing
  • 13. Inventory


    These production and operational level metrics provide the basis for higher level KPIs, which provide corporate wide performance measurement. These higher level KPIs can be drilled down to the lower level KPIs which comprise it, to zero in on problem areas.

    Higher level KPIs:
    1. Overall production efficiency of a department, plant or division
    2. Comparative analytics for products, plants, divisions, companies
    3. Spend analytics
    4. Demand forecasting
    5. Supplier trending

    The big advantage
    One of the biggest advantages of a KPI software system is the ability it gives corporate entities to compare the performance of various products, plants, divisions and even companies within the corporation. The KPI software makes it possible for team members to see where the money makers are as well as the marginal or no profit items. Disparate products or facilities can be standardized within the KPI software to allow for comparison.

    Multiple data sources
    KPIs can also be aggregated, and weighted, so that they are accounted for and prioritized within the software system. Data from multiple sources already in place within the corporation, such as ERP, CRM, MES and other databases and spread sheets can be incorporated into the KPI software.

    On-demand KPI software

    Due to on-demand KPI software’s ability to access this information in near real-time, it can be used to support decisions which improve production performance as well as corporate level strategy planning. There are several impressive advantages to the on demand model of delivery for production performance interfaces. One is that it can be configured, deployed and implemented without a lengthy development and deployment cycle. Cost savings on several levels can also be realized. There is no need for “additional IT infrastructure” with an on demand model for KPI software.
