The quality
Together with your quality control manager, these measurements are relevant mainly to measure the reliability of your transformation processes based on the output rate of products with no manufacturing defects.
- Rate of compliant products;
- Rate of defective products;
- Rate of conform and defective products per machine;
- Compliance and failure rates per shift;
- Etc.
However, depending on the level of digital maturity of a manufacturing company, the use of KPIs in management processes can discourage some people from using them, particularly because of the upstream work that is often necessary to access certain data.
Remember that to ensure the reliability of a KPI, it is important to involve data that is as accurate as possible. A company that refers to data coming from manual or semi-manual processes is at greater risk of involving data corrupted by human error than a company that refers to data generated by proven and automated processes.
