Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
- Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE): OEE measures the effectiveness of equipment utilization by considering factors such as availability, performance, and quality. It provides insights into equipment downtime, speed losses, and defect rates.
- Production Cycle Time: This KPI measures the time taken to complete a full production cycle, from order receipt to product delivery. Reducing production cycle time indicates streamlined processes, improved productivity, and faster response to market demands.
- Defect Rate: The defect rate measures the number of defective products identified during quality inspections. A lower defect rate signifies improved quality control processes, reducing the need for rework or customer returns.
- Employee Productivity: This KPI assesses the efficiency and output of individual employees or teams, measuring the quantity of work completed within a specific time frame. Tracking employee productivity helps identify potential areas for improvement, training needs, and resource allocation.
- Lean score card (5S & Kaizens & training hours & SWS & etc.)
