What is a Manufacturing Dashboard?
A manufacturing dashboard lets you oversee manufacturing, with metrics and KPIs displayed using graphs, charts, tables, and other intuitive visualizations.
This dashboard often updates in real-time, gathering information from various sources, such as databases, websites, published reports, and artificial intelligence (AI). By regularly assessing your manufacturing dashboard, you can quickly identify and address production issues such as equipment failures.
More importantly, since a manufacturing dashboard provides a better understanding of the many procedures required for complete inventory fulfillment, you can have better control over your inventory.
For instance, typical manufacturing dashboards display live production rates and how they are tied to inventory levels. With this information, you can effectively alter production schedules to fulfill consumer demand without overstocking or misallocating crucial resources and revenue.
