Production analysis

Reports and dashboards designed for critical analysis.

Key dashboards

  • Production efficiency Tracks key performance indicators related to production speed, resource utilization, and adherence to planned schedules to optimize manufacturing efficiency.
  • Cost and variance analysis Monitors production costs, labor and machine-related variances, and material waste to improve cost control and profitability.
  • Inventory & material control Provides insights into material usage accuracy, inventory levels, and availability to ensure smooth production flow and reduce shortages or excess stock.

Key metrics

  • On-time order %
  • Run hours variance
  • Run hours efficiency rate
  • Actual vs estimated run rates
  • Return to stock
  • Yield %
  • Scrap quantity
  • Production efficiency %
  • Cycle time
  • Production throughput rate

Production performance reports

  • Production order summary Provides an overview of all active, completed, and pending production orders.
  • Production throughput Measures the number of completed units over a given period.
  • Production cycle time Analyzes the time taken for production from order start to completion.
  • Work center utilization Evaluates machine and labor efficiency at each work center.
  • Safety stock analysis Production scrap and waste report

Material & inventory consumption reports

  • Bill of materials (BOM) consumption Analyzes actual material usage against planned BOM requirements.
  • Raw material availability Identifies shortages of materials needed for production.
  • Work in progress (WIP) inventory Tracks inventory currently allocated to production but not yet completed.
  • Material variance report Compares planned vs. actual material consumption to detect discrepancies.
  • Production scrap and waste Tracks defective or wasted materials in production.

Cost & financial analysis reports

  • Production non-compliance Flags production processes or batches that fail to meet regulatory, quality, or internal compliance standards.
  • Actual vs. estimated production cost Compares estimated costs with actual expenditures.
  • Machine downtime cost analysis Quantifies the financial impact of equipment downtime.
  • Labor cost variance Tracks planned vs. actual labor hours and related cost deviations.
  • Yield vs. scrap cost Measures material yield efficiency against scrap and waste costs.

Quality control & compliance reports

  • Production schedule accuracy Compares planned vs. actual production timelines and completion rates.
  • Capacity utilization Tracks available vs. utilized machine and labor capacity.
  • Bottleneck analysis Identifies constraints in production lines that slow down overall efficiency.
  • Work order backlog Lists delayed or overdue work orders and their impact on production timelines.
  • Planned vs. actual machine runtime Measures the expected vs. real operating hours of production equipment.
