-
Compact KPI tiles provide a quick snapshot.
-
Typical visualizations: bar charts, line graphs, traffic light logic (red/green), thresholds.

✨ Tip: Perfect for production areas with large-format monitors running 24/7.
📈 Single KPI View in Its Own Tab
-
Create a new tab dedicated to analyzing a single KPI.
-
Benefit: Detailed time trends (daily/weekly/monthly) and direct action linkage.

💡 Note: Ideal for KPIs with high control or steering relevance.
📊 Multiple KPIs in Comparison (Multi-Panel)

-
Visualize them side-by-side for direct comparison.

⚠️ Caution: Use this view selectively for focused comparisons – too many KPIs reduce clarity.
🔄 Cross-Team KPIs & Aggregation Logic
📌 Displaying KPIs from Other Teams
→ KPIs from other teams can be shown on your own team board, giving you direct visibility of key performance metrics from upstream or downstream processes.
📈 Using Aggregation Logic
→ KPI values are automatically aggregated to higher levels, for example:
-
From individual teams to department or company level
-
From production lines to a total production value in the management dashboard
✨ Example: Production volumes from several teams are automatically summed up to a total value at the company level.
💡 Note: Aggregation logic is defined exclusively by system administrators. Teams cannot change these settings themselves.
✨ Tips & Best Practices
-
Use status logic to visually highlight critical KPIs.
-
Group KPIs by theme (quality, cost, safety, delivery dates).
-
Fewer, more meaningful KPIs are more effective for steering than data overload.
❓ FAQ
Is there a limit to KPIs in the overview?
→ No, but we recommend using no more than 9 KPIs.
How does KPI aggregation work?
→ Aggregation is defined by the system administrator and runs automatically.
Can I report a deviation directly from a KPI view?
→ Yes.
