Key performance indicators (KPIs) help your company to transparently present manufacturing processes and to monitor, analyze, and evaluate production sustainably. An MES system (PROefficient) is a prerequisite for the automated recording of your production data. Based on this, efficiency improvements can be achieved using KPIs. Measure the success of your manufacturing processes, create transparency, and use key performance indicators as a basis for decisions, comparability, and optimization. KPIs not only increase productivity by organizing a large amount of data and presenting it in meaningful numbers – they also have a psychological basis. Provide information within visualization systems (PROvis) on the shop floor and increase the flow of information and the motivation of your employees.
