Business Intelligence in Manufacturing

Common Key performance indicators for Manufacturing makes success measurable.

• Degree of rejects: expresses the ratio between rejects and total.
• Reject rate: represents the percentage of rejects throughout the whole production.
• Degree of occupancy: designates the ratio of the occupancy times of all participating workstations to the total processing time of the orders.
• Occupancy rate: describes the relationship between the occupancy time of a machine and the scheduled occupancy time.
• Throughput rate: index for the performance of a process, therefore what quantity is produced per unit of time.
• Effectiveness: measures the performance of a process.
• Fall off Rate: indicates how high the reject rate is in relation to the quantity produced in the first working day.
• First Pass Yield (FPY): the measure of direct process quality in terms of jobs and product.
• Rework Rate: expresses the percentage of total production that includes rework.
• Net Equipment effectiveness (NEE): Indicates losses due to plant downtime, cycle time losses and losses due to defective and reworked products.
• Degree of utilization: the proportion of the main usage time over the entire occupancy time, i.e. a measure of the productivity of the machine.
• Employee Productivity: provides information about the relationship between the employee’s order-related hours of work and the total time of attendance.
• Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): represents the used availability and the effectiveness of the production unit and their quality rate summarized in a key figure (GAE = Overall Efficiency).
• Process grade: is an index of economy and efficiency of manufacturing.
• Quality rate is the ratio of the yield to the quantity produced.
• Degree of setup: is an index of the setup component relative to the machining time on the machine.
• Technical efficiency: depicts the efficiency of a machine.
• Availability: indicates how much the capacity of the machine is used for the value-added functions in relation to the planned availability.
