Business problem

Manufacturing & Production

Whether the plant built what the plan said it would build.

Schedule attainment is where over-production quietly pays for under-production. Sum what was built and divide by what was planned, and a line that ran long covers a line that never ran at all — so the definition here caps each row at its own plan before summing, and publishes the uncapped figure beside it rather than instead of it. Which schedule counts as the plan matters just as much: the frozen one, or the one as it stood at the end of the week. The reference build runs that definition over a simulated year of weekly schedules across two fictional plants, and the six ERP modules below are where work orders, routings and confirmations actually live in each system. First pass yield asks the sibling question — of what was built, how much came out right the first time — and it is the entry where the recording convention decides whether the metric can be computed at all: rework that overwrites its original operation result leaves nothing to count.

Metric definitions

Computable definitions from the KPI Dictionary — every decision switch made explicit, with the formula and the source tables in each ERP.

Dashboard patterns

A wireframe paired with the star schema underneath it: fact grain, measures with their additivity rules, and the source tables per reference.

Reference builds

Working implementations of the definitions and patterns above, running over frozen, simulated data. Not a resource and not a case study — no client data, and no client named.

Simulated data, frozen snapshot — not a live client system.

In the references

Where this data lives in each source system. A way into the ERP references, not an index of them — every reference landing lists all of its modules.
