Included standard dashboards
Manufacturing

This dashboard shows the delivery reliability for operations. It uses data taken from the procedure Manufacturing order.
A number of calculated fields are added to the dashboard to calculate if operations are on time or not.
Operations with remaining quantity zero are regarded as finished.
If Actual finish date on the operation is earlier than or equal to Planned finish date, then the operation is regarded as being on time, if not, it is regarded as delayed.
If New finish date on the operation is earlier than or equal to Planned finish date then the operation is regarded as being on time, if not, it is regarded as delayed.
No calendar is used to calculate Diff. (days)
Future delivery reliability is calculated for operations that have a remaining quantity larger than zero.
This dashboard uses the new finish date calculated by the Net requirement calculation in Monitor ERP.

This dashboard shows reported unit time and setup time, as well as rejections in relation to reported quantity. It uses the data source Manufacturing order reporting, which is the same as Manufacturing order log.
The tabs in this dashboard show the data with different groupings.
The column Rejections PPM is a measurement of the number of rejections and is calculated as Rejected quantity * 1,000,000/Produced quantity. PPM (Parts per million) is a common unit of measurement used in certain industries.

This dashboard gives an overview of multiple manufacturing KPIs. The tabs in the dashboard show data which can also be found in separate dashboards.
Some calculated fields are added in the dashboard to calculate the operation's efficiency.
The date filter in this dashboard uses Actual finish date.
Calculations:
-
Efficiency factor = Planned time for reported quantity/reported time.
-
Production Efficiency = Planned unit time for reported quantity/reported unit time.
-
Setup efficiency = Planned setup time/reported setup time.
Tabs:
-
