Consider a car manufacturing plant tracking the availability of its robots and the efficiency of its assembly process. By identifying and fixing problems early, the plant can improve its output and reduce costs.
For example, the plant noticed that one of its robots was overheating and becoming unavailable more often. By repairing the faulty sensor, the plant can increase the robot's availability and reduce production delays.
The plant can also use the KPIs to track the efficiency of its inventory management system. By identifying bottlenecks and implementing new processes, the plant can reduce the time it takes to produce a car. This improvement in efficiency can result in a decrease in production costs and an increase in profitability.
The plant can also use the KPIs to track other areas of its operations, such as energy consumption, waste production, and employee safety. By using data to continuously improve its operations, the plant is becoming more efficient, sustainable, and profitable.
